The formula to calculate the Pool Turnover Rate (PTR) is:
\[ \text{PTR} = \frac{\text{G}}{\frac{\text{FR}}{60}} \]
Where:
The Pool Turnover Rate is the time it takes for the entire volume of water in a pool to pass through the filtration system. It is calculated by dividing the total number of gallons in the pool by the pool flow rate.
Let's assume the following values:
Using the formula to calculate the Pool Turnover Rate:
\[ \text{PTR} = \frac{20000}{\frac{50}{60}} = \frac{20000}{0.8333} \approx 24 \text{ hours} \]
The Pool Turnover Rate is approximately 24 hours.
