There is a formula for anything that you need to accomplish with regards to swimming pools, spas and hot tubs. Whether it’s a chemical adjustment or a piece of equipment that you need to replace and you want to be sure it’s the right size.
This article, as is stated in the title, is about calculating turnover rates. One “turnover” is the amount of time it would take for the volume of the pool or spa water to pass through the filtration system one time. Obviously, the water is constantly mixing and, therefore, not all of the water will be filtered in the time it takes for the total volume to pass through the system but that is not important. Turnover Rate is measured in hours.
Formula:
Pool Volume (gal) / Flow Rate (GPM) / 60 = Turnover Rate (Hours)
Ex: 40,000 gal pool with a flow rate of 111 GPM would be:
40,000 / 111 / 60 = 6 hour Turnover Rate
I wish I had known these things before. Our pool wasn't properly maintained, so we eventually had to call in a reputable Austin pool repair service to fix it. At least it will be taken better care of in the future!
