How many gallons in a 14x28 pool?

It depends on the average depth: about 11,729 gallons at 4 ft, 14,662 at 5 ft and 17,594 at 6 ft. For a sloping bottom, use the average of the shallow and deep ends.

How do I find the average depth of a 14x28 pool?

Add the depth at the shallow end to the depth at the deep end and divide by two. A pool that is 3½ ft at one end and 8 ft at the other averages 5¾ ft, which holds 16,861 gallons at this size.

How long to fill a 14x28 pool with a hose?

At 9 gallons per minute, a 14x28 pool with a 5 ft average depth takes about 27 hours (1.1 days). Many owners have water delivered for pools this size.
