How to adjust the flow rate on pool pump?
Normaly pool pumps have only one speed " flat out" unless you have a two speed pump.
How long to fill a 24 x 52 pool?
It depends on two other factors viz;- #1 How deep is the pool #2 Rate of flow of the inflowing water.
Is there a optimal flow rate for maximum heat transfer when using a heat pump?
Yes there is an optimum flow rate. Kind of! The heat pump manufacturer will post on the internet or in the users guide what the maximum and mimimum flow rate through his heat pump should be. I take it that the optimum then, is anywhere within that range. My pump manufacturer prescribes 20 GPM to 70 GPM for the heat pump I will be using. Too low a flow causes the heat pump to overheat. Too high a flow is hard on system components. dburr
What happens if you dont do a backwash in a pool?
The filter media will eventually become "clogged" and result in reduced flow rate and increased backpressure. the lower flow rate is a hazard to the heater system and the increased pressure will eventually shorten the life of your pump. not to mention the water will become cloudy and unsafe
How long does it take to fill a pool of 7700 gallons?
This really is a simple answer. Check your pool pump rate, given in GPH (gallons per hour) then divide the GPH by 17000. Example: Pool pump rated @ 1200gph 17000÷1200=14.17 hours
How can you return water out of your pump into the pool?
There are just a few easy actions you need to take to get the water from your pump back into the pool. Before anything else, check that the pump is wired in and primed. Make sure there is nothing clogging up the pump basket. Find the pool's water return inlet and proceed to the next step. This is a fixture that is typically installed on the pool's wall. Pool hose of an appropriate length should be attached to the pump's discharge port. The pool's return inlet should be connected to the hose's opposite end. When you're ready, activate the pump. After a while, water should start trickling through the hose and into the pool. Check for leaks in the plumbing and make sure the water is flowing freely. If the water flow rate is too slow or too fast, you can adjust the pump's settings. Proper water circulation and filtration rely on routine pump and pool equipment maintenance.
What size pool pump is recommended for a 14 x 28 pool?
A 1.5 Horse Power pump should be more than enough. You could actually use a much smaller pump, however, Circulation is the absolute most important factor in keeping your pool clean and clear. Contact TritonUnderwater.com with any other questions we can help you with.
What is the maximum distance you can run a 1hp pump and gas heater to a above ground pool and still have it function efficiently?
Based on your question, I will assume that there is nearly no elevation difference between the pool and the pump locations. Given this, the only factor in the max pipe length of a horizonal run is the friction of the water on the pipes. In this application, your pump has to do two jobs: 1) move enough water through your pool for effective filtering (in Gallons per Minute) 2) move water horizontally through the pipes Without knowing the size of your pool it is hard to estimate the required flow rate for effective filtration, but I will assume that 40 Gal/min (GPM)is adequate (probably more than adequate, but I don't want to give you an answer that doesn't give you enough flow). The required flow rate for proper filtration depends heavily on the type and size of filter you are using. Now, we need to know the pressure and flow rate data for your pump. I will use a Hayward 1HP Model 1580 Power Flo pump as an example: This pump will flow 40 GPM at a head pressure of about 45 feet using 1.5" PVC pipe. Therefore, the remaining question is how far can you run the pipe if you have 48 ft of head pressure available? Using standard friction tables for standard diameter pipes tells me that you would lose about 6 ft of head pressure for every 100 feet of distance (for 1.5" PVC). Therefore, the max distance that you could pump would be about 800 horizontal feet (48 divided by 6 = 8 and then 8 x 100). Remember that this is a round trip, so the pump and pool could be located about 400 feet apart. Even at this distace, you should still have more than adequate pressure for proper filtration flow. Just to give you an idea of the tradeoffs, if you were able to maintain proper filtration with a flow rate of 20 GPM, then you could have the pool and pump twice as far apart (800 ft). ...
What is gallon's per hour?
Refers to flow rate on something like a fuel pump for example
How well does an in-ground pump do in a large kio pond and you are looking for the big spill because you have a 30ft waterfall?
It should work OK. The only thing you may have to do is put a valve on the outlet side to decrease the water flow rate if your pump is too strong. You will need a high head pool pump with a non return valve.
How do you determine flow rate by pipe size?
By knowing the availabe pressure and the diameter / material of the piping
What is the effect of pump installation in series and parallel connection?
if you connect the pumps in series, it will add head at the same flow rate. Inversely, in parallel connection, double the flow rate at same head.
