What's 16x16 round?  Do you mean 16 foot diameter and 16 feet deep?  Somehow I doubt that is what you meant -- never heard of a 16 foot deep pool except for diving.  A round pool would be a cylinder, so the volume is the area of the surface times the depth.  The area of a circle is pi times the square of the radius (pi * r2).  If the pool is 16 feet across (diameter), then the radius is 8 feet.  The surface area is then 3.14159 * 82 == 201.1 Square feet.  Multiply that by the depth and you have the volume in cubic feet.  If it's 4' deep, then you'd have about 804 cubic feet of water.  A cubic foot is about 7.5 gallons, so 804 cubic feet would be about 6030 gallons.Another way to calculate it would be about 1500 gallons per foot of depth for a 16 foot diameter pool.

According to AquaChem's quick pool care guide for round pools the formula
is:   On a pool that is 12 foot wide (6 ft radius) and 30 inches deep multiply
radius x radius x pi (3.14) x average depth 30 inches (2.5 ft) x 7.5.   In this
case 6 x 6 x 3.14 x 2.5 x 7.5 = 2119.5 gallons of water.   Hope this helps.

In order to know how to choose pool heater or filtration equipment for your pool, as well as to determine the dosage of the pool water treatment, you need to know how much water (m3) it contains. Depending on the shape of the pool, the following formulas are used to calculate: Round pool: Length*width*depth*0.79 = X m3
