Pool Turnover Rate Calculator

Formula

The formula to calculate the Pool Turnover Rate (PTR) is:

$\text{PTR} = \frac{\text{G}}{\frac{\text{FR}}{60}}$

Where:

$\text{PTR}$ is the Pool Turnover Rate (hours)
$\text{G}$ is the total number of gallons in the pool
$\text{FR}$ is the pool flow rate (gallons/min)

What is Pool Turnover Rate?

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.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following values:

Total Number of Gallons in the Pool (G) = 20,000 gallons
Pool Flow Rate (FR) = 50 gallons/min

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.
