Physics Help Please! Pressure Question?

What will be the pressure against the side of the pool near the bottom?
The pool is 1.8 m by 0.6 m and has a uniform depth of 2.0 m.

Please help!
This is a web assign question to which I have already tried answering with 19600. For some reason, webassign won't accept this answer. Please help if you know why or if you know another answer. Thank you!

Sometimes I think that these WebAssign problems are not worth the trouble. Even for some minor difference, which any teacher would accept, WebAssign rejects with out any explanation
In the absence of any data, temp, density etc, have yu tried:
density of watre = 1000kg/m³
g = 9.81 m/s²
h = 2.0m
this gives a result of: 1000*9.81*2 = 19,620Pa
Or try 19.620kPa

Another idea: I know that one of the problems with WebAssign is sig figs.
Taking into account that the depth at 2.0m has 2 sig figs, have you tried 20,000Pa? Or 20kPa?
Irrespective of WebAssign, you answer is certainly correct.

Edit later: Did the question posibly ask for absolute pressure = then it is necessary to take into account atmospheric pressure as well. This is 101.3kPa
So the absolute pressure is 20+101.3 = 121.3kPa absolute pressure or 121,300Pa absolute pressure. Clutching at straws I must admit!!

With so Many Types of Pool Cleaners Which One Should You Choose

Automatic Pool cleaners have come a long way from their early beginnings not too many decades ago. So now there are more choices then ever before for someone that is out shopping for one. Automatic pool cleaners come in three basic forms and they are suction  side, pressure side and electric crawling pool cleaners.

Pressure Side and Suction Side Pool Cleaners

Pressure side and suction side pool cleaners are powered by the pools pump system, through a hose that is ran to the unit from the water outlet. Suction side pool cleaners will have a suction hose ran to them, while pressure side pool cleaners will have a hose from the opposite end of the system powering them.

Basic Differences Between the Two

There are a few basic differences in how the two types of pool cleaners function. For instance, pressure side pool cleaners will tend to have a few more functions then vacuum side pool cleaners, such as being able to move around and they will also often have their own debris bag. Vacuum side pool cleaners will tend to be  stationary and have few if any moving parts.

Electric Crawing Pool Cleaners

Electric crawling pool cleaners come in a wide variety of shapes and sizes, as well as prices. They can be cordless, which means that they contain batteries and have to be recharged from time to time or they can be powered by a conventional electric cord the runs to them. The feature options for electric crawling pool cleaners can vary widely, depending on what you are in the market for.

It All Depends on the Pool

What type of automatic pool cleaner that suits your needs basically depends on what type and size of pool that you have. Concrete, built in pools have different requirements then plastic lined above ground pools, so there are above ground and built in pool cleaners for each type of pool. If you are having an Above Ground Pool installed in your backyard then one option is to purchase a complete package that comes with all of the equipment that the pool requires, including the pool cleaner.
