I have always estimated my pool volume to be 20,000 gallons based on measuring the results of chemical additions, like CYA or salt. The pool builder was certain it was 30,000 from looking at it. Since it's a totally irregular shape (sides and bottom) I had no way to directly measure it ... until today. I just finished filling to pool and the water meter reads 21,580 gallons. Subtract my home's average daily usage and you get ~21,450 gallons.
Sorry if it's not an informative post, but after 7 years of wondering if I was right it felt good to know I was within 7%.
