GPM stands for gallons per minute, what you do is take the amount of gallons of your pool, divide by the gallons per minute and you'll find out how long it takes the pools water to be cycled once. A pool should be cycled at least 4-6 times a day.
It doesn't make any difference how many sides of the pool are negative edge, only the total number of linear feet of negative edge and how level you can make the edge. The longer the edge the more important it is that it be level, because even small amounts of out of level require huge flow rates to compensate for. Approximate GPM required per linear foot for various water depths: 1/8" - 5 gpm ¼" - 10 gpm ½" - 17 gpm ¾" - 28 gpm 1" - 40 gpm 1.5" - 70 gpm 2" - 105 gpm As a minimum 5x35=175 GPM
for computers not sure .. for pumps it means gallons per minute ..
usually you would want a pump that could circulate the amount of water you have every hour so you would need a pump for 13000 gph but that's a substantial amout so if you could even find a pump that pumps half of that an hour you should be alright
The EPA limits gas station pumps to no more than 10 gpm. The average gas station pump is between 5 and 10 gpm.
The H100 has a flow rate of 20-70 gpm, if you are moving more than 70 gpm then yes, if not, then no.
. -Most pumps actually have a GPM rating on spec. plate.
Take the gpm of the recirculating pump and multiply by 10/2.4 equal system volume. This is used to estimate expansion tanks. It good plus or minus 10% depending on new additions
By running a swperate pump dedicated to the heater could cause the heater to shut down because to too much volumn of water is passing thru it. The heaters are designed to function with a certain amount of GPM. Exceeding the manufacturer's specs or even diminishing them to nearly nothing will automatically shut the heater down. There are also other technical reasons for not doing what you imply.
You have to match the the water hydraulics with the capacity in GPM of the filter, the heater, the pump. All have to be in sink with the rest of the system. Each type filter ( D E, cartridge, sand) have different GPM ratings. Now once you have done that you have to factor in the hydraulics of the pool plumbing ( 90's, couplings, 45's, length and size of pipe, one or 2 skimmers, other devices installed at or in pool or equip. pad. You just can not slap a filter or a pump and think you are through with the installation. You must do your homework prior to purchasing the filter, or any other piece of equipment.
52 gpm
gallon per minute (gpm).
Kw x 3412 / 10000 = gpm I think
