Pump and Flow Rate Planner
Free pool tool

Pump and Flow Rate Planner

Enter your pool volume and features and see the turnover time and a planning flow rate for the pump.

These tools give planning-level estimates from typical values. They are not quotes, designs or engineering, and results depend on your actual site, soil, depth, access, local rules and conditions. Only a site visit can confirm what a project needs, and we give you a written scope and price before any work begins.

How it works

Four quick steps.

  1. 01

    Enter the volume

    Gallons from the volume tool or your plans.

  2. 02

    Pick the turnover goal

    How often the water should pass through the filter.

  3. 03

    Add features

    Waterfalls, spa jets, cleaners and sheer descents.

  4. 04

    Read the plan

    Turnover time and a planning flow rate.

Tips

  • Slower speeds for longer runs filter well and use less energy.
  • Features such as waterfalls need their own flow.
  • Pipe size and filter size set the real limits.
Questions

About this tool.

Is this a pump selection?

No. It is a planning guide. A designer sizes the pump with plumbing and filter data.

What is turnover time?

The time it takes for the full volume of the pool to pass through the filter once.

Why use a variable speed pump?

It runs at the speed each job needs, which is quieter and uses less power.
