this is the link to my pool, http://www.trilogypools.com/classic/infinity
once there scroll down to line DWGing once opened it shows all the facts on the pool; size, gallons of water etc.

A pool that size and that deep should be more like 12,000 gallons, I think.

I agree, there's no way I can come up with 8500 gallons for that pool size and depth.

Using their measurements and figuring for a 6" freeboard I get about 8600 gallons. You lose a lot from the step end. If you look at the drawing they measure from the very back of the curve at the steps and from the very outside of the flange both ways.

yes i do have metal in the water. last year i had to put jack's magic purple stuff in the pool every two weeks not sure but the only way i know of getting rid of it is to put a conditioner on my water line or keep putting the JM purple stuff in. I'll have to wait and see once i get the chemicals all balanced out, as it was crystal clear yesterday when i got home from work.

Hi:

I have a 28x14 Trilogy pool and the "book" said 7,000 gallons. I'm not sure where they get those numbers.... With an average depth of 4.5 ft., I actually have slightly over 13,000 gallons when I calculate it.

If you count each step as a separate rectangles and calculate the step area individually to calculate gallons, each step area is only 50-100 gallons. Then if you measure what's left, with the average depth, and I get close to 9,700 gallons. Since the step area has a lot of variables and the depth is gradual, it could be less than 10,000. Of course I'm no expert, that's just my guess cuz I felt like it, LOL
