From what I can see, under ideal conditions, about 90 gallons per minute for a 1.5 HP, 1.5 inch pump of another manufacturer.

If a pump moves at 90 gallons per minute , what is the volumetric flow rate in units of cubic inches per second?

Assuming US gallons, 346.5 cubic inches per second.

The number will be slightly different for Canadian or Imperial gallons.

When vaccuming the pool, eventually the flow becomes minimal and we do a backwash, rinse and then back to filter; all the **** we just vaccumed blows back out into the pool. We put new sand in this year...

Your pool has about 7634 gallons. If you were a commercial pool, you would be looking for an 8 hour turn over rate, A 1.5 pump, rule of thumb, will move 50 gallons per minute. It appears from your picture that you have a 300 # sand filter. If this is the case, you have plenty of filter capacity. Your 1.5 hp pump should be moving 3000 gallons per hour and your turn over rate is about 2 1/2 hours. I think your pump is probably closer to 1/2 horse and your plumbing is probably closer to one inch. I am not sure the rule of thumb for this but would rationalize you are moving 800 gallons per hour through your 300 # sand filter giving you a rate of just under 8 hours.

Do a good back wash - then do a good 'rinse' with your multi-port valve - then if necessary, continue with the vacuum.

You shouldn't have to go through all of this - I think your filter is adequate providing you have actual pool sand in the filter, not play or beach sand, and it is loaded properly. You say you got the sand at your pool place, so I presume it is real pool sand. What does your pool supplier have to say about all of this???

Please let me know what is going on as you continue to enjoy and clean your pool.

Model #SD-20-2N11CC WATERWAY PUMP (2HP) - Trying to find out how many gallons per minutes pumped on high & low speeds

Rule of thumb for a 2 HP pump using a 2 inch pipe is between 60 and 80 gallons per minute. Factors affecting flow rate is the distance between the pump and the pool, how many bends and turns and of course the condition of the filter. If you need to meet a specific turn-over rate, use the lower number to determine in the event you sould be called on the carpet.

Low speed? I am sorry. I don't know the rule of thumb on this.

You could install a flow meter, available at your professional pool supply. They are easy to install and not a lot of money. Follow the installation instructions as best as you can.

Incidently, comercially speaking, the 'turn over rate' should be around 8 hours for a public pool. Your jurisdiction may have other standards. Commercial pools should run 24 hours a day at that rate during the open season. Turn over rate means all the gallons of the pool should go through the filter in 8 hours, or all the gallons should go through the filter three times per day. Example: 16000 gallons of water in the pool, your filter and pump should be pumping 2000 gallons per hour. Studies show that it actually takes up to 5 days to get every actual 'chunk' of water to go through the filter, so, many of the 'chunks' of water go through the filter multiple times per hour. BTW, I use the word "chunks" in an effort to better paint a mental picture of what is happening. I am not suggesting your water has "chunks" in it.

Thanks for your question @ FixYa.com

Is the Hayward s210 pro series 21" top mount above

Thank you for posting your question here on Fixya.com.


32' round by how deep? Flow rate is how you size a filter so with total gallons you can calculate how many per minute will add up to the whole pool being turned over is 6-8 hours. The pump and filter are then sized for that required flow...Assuming the pool is an above ground ~4' average depth then total gallons would be about 24,000 gallons. For an 8 hour turnover you would need about 50 gallons per minute. The 210T, T for top mount, is designed to handle up to 44 gallons per minute and turn over a 21,000 gallon pool in 8 hours or a 26,000 gallon pool in 10.

What that basically means is that using a 210 on a pool 32 x 4 would be pushing it. It will work but you will end up backwashing more frequently which raises the overall cost of running the pool. If it is not to late a 24" filter would be better; especially if you have periods of time in your pool season where heavy amounts of debris such as pollen get into the water. A 21" filter won't handle any over a normal filtration load.

What size submersible pump do i need to deliver 20000l/hr ,pump is 50 meter deep in bore hole.

That's a lot of water. In the U.S. , pumps are rated in GPM (gallons per minute. Your 20000 liters per hour converts to 88 GPM. So you need to find a pump that can produce at least 88 GPM.

If you need further help, I’m available over the phone at https://www.6ya.com/expert/craig_3fa289bf857b1a3c

No problem, just looking for gal. per minute flow rate

It uses 1.2 gallons for each wash or rinse action in a cycle.  The water only runs until the 1.2 gallons amount is reached and then that water recycles through the pump for the duration of the action.  Start the dishwasher and time how long it takes until the water stops filling (not the entire time of the action).  Divide 1.2 by the number of minutes including seconds as a decimal fraction (i.e. 1 minute and 30 seconds = 1.5 minutes) to get the flow rate in gallons per minute (GPM).

Clothes washer

I could not find a definite answer for you, but I know that the wash tub holds roughly 35 gallons on a full load. You can calculate the time it takes the washer to completely empty a full load to see how long it takes. If it takes 1 minute for the wash tub to empty on a full load, then you know the GPM for the drain pump is about 35 gallons per minute. If it takes a minute and a half, the rate is about 23 gallons per minute. If it takes 2 minutes, then the rate drops to about 17.5 gallons per minute. Get the idea? I hope this gives you the information you were looking for. Let me know if you have any further questions.
