How many gallons of water in a basement of 25 feet by 20 feet if there was 4 feet of water?

Answer 1

It's a common mistake, but you must first find the volume of the pool. Calculate the volume of the pool by surface area X average depth. This will give you the cubic footage (approx.) in the pool. Ft3 X 7.48 (gal/ft3) will give you gallons in pool (approx.).

Answer 2

1 gallon = 231 cubic inches

1728 cubic inches = 1 cubic foot

(25 x 20 x 4 x 1728) / 231 = 14,961 gallons (rounded)

Answer 3

36701.2987 gallons is the pool is evenly 4 feet deep.
