It depends on what you want from a pool. The best value (dollars per gallon) will be the largest round pool that you can fit. An 18’ round pool holds around 8,000 gallons. A 24’ round and a 15’x30’ oval both hold around 15,000. The 24’ round is generally only a few hundred dollars more than the 18’ round, but it’s twice as big! The 15’x30’ oval is $1500 more than the 24’ round, and it has essentially the same amount of space and water. That’s because oval pools have an entire apparatus –hold down plates, underground straps, and stabilizing plates – that keep the pool from turning into a round pool from the water pressure. Price isn’t everything, though. You may decide on a pool shape for space, layout, landscaping or your planned usage. An oval pool, especially with a nice deck, can look much like an inground pool – at a vastly lower price.
