How this is worked out

Volume is length × width × average depth. A rectangle holds 7.48 gallons per cubic foot; a round or oval pool is π/4 of the rectangle around it.
For a pool with a shallow and a deep end, the average of the two depths is close enough for dosing.
The product label always wins — if it says something different, follow the label.

Questions

How do I measure my pool?

Measure the inside of the water, not the deck. For depth, measure from the water line to the floor at the shallow and the deep end.

What about a hot tub?

Its maker lists the gallons — check the manual or the label inside the cabinet. Tubs are too curved for a tape measure to beat the maker's number.
