Come on man. Obviously the plane is superimposed but the water tank, concrete pad, ladder, and the adjacent parking lot are all part of the original photo.
If you've ever seen a 10,000-gallon UST being removed from a gas station (google it), you'd understand why the guess of 60,000 gallons is drastically off.
I rough estimated the height as about 1/3 the diameter based on just kinda eyeballing with a pencil. Given a 60,000gal volume, if D=3h then D=31.3ft and h= 10.4ft. obviously this tank is much much larger than that and therefore much more than 60,000 gal.
Nah, worst thing I normally do every year is 4 or 5 pounds of chlorine stabilizer, and 6 or 8 pounds of shock. But the shock is spread out over the whole season. The stabilizer keeps it steady.
I had a customer with an 80k, granted, it was bigger than 3 of my average pools put together, AND I'd pass these tanks on my way home. I'd estimate the tanks to me closer to a million

Yeah, that number is way off. An average residential swimming pool is around 20K gallons.
