Pool Water Configuration Tips
Tips for you to use to configure your pool and the amount of its water and water loss. To find the amount of water in a pool you need to calculate how many cubic feet are in that pool and multiply that by 7.48 (which is how many gallons of water are in a CF. cubic foot) So a pool that is 40’ wide by 80’ long (JR. Olympic) and has an average depth of 5’ becomes:
40 x 80 x 5 x 7.48 = 119,680 *gallons of water * this isn’t taking considerations for a diving well.
To find the amount of water lost during back washing filters, each municipality has a standard turnover rate. Most use 5 or 6 hours. I will use 6 hours in these calculations. Now our JR. Olympic pool with 119,680 gallons has to have minimum capabilities of filtering that amount of water in 6 hrs. or 360 minutes.
119,680 divided by 360= 332 gallons per minute. A proper back-wash cycle is 5 minutes. While this is happening there is no head or pipe friction to the water flow 332 x 110 % = 365 g.p.m. x5= 1825 gal. If a pool is back-washed 5 times a week as Dept. of Health would prefer, it becomes 9125 gal. per week turned into sewage.
The Pool Weasel can save 66% or 6022 gals. of water per week
