Pool Filling Cost

Find pool volume, fill time and the water cost to fill it.

About Pool Filling Cost

Cubic volume feet of the pool convert to gallons, then water cost and hose fill time both scale from that volume. Filling a pool can add hundreds of gallons to a water bill, so confirming the volume avoids surprising usage.

Formula

Pool Filling Cost

Gallons = L x W x D x 7.48052; fill hours = gallons / (gpm x 60)

7.48052
Gallons in one cubic foot of water
