We were wanting to know how many gallons of water we have in our pond... Our pond is a round 10 ft diameter 18 in deep with a center 4ft circle that is 3 ft deep. What is your calculation?



The formula for you is the same as for two nested
cylinders.

Figure the volume of the larger first (pi x
radius squared x depth) or 3.14 x 25 x 1.5 = 117.75
cu. ft.

Subtract the inner cylinder (4 x 3.14 x 1.5 = 18.8)
117.75-18.8=98.95

then add back the volume of the deep cylinder (3.14 x
4 x 3 = 37.68 + 98.95 =136.63 cu. ft.)

Multiply by 7.48 gallons per cu. ft = 1022 gallons.
Remember to add the volume of your filter as well.
