To determine the appropriate pool pump size:
1. Measure the pool dimensions to calculate the volume in cubic feet, then convert to gallons by multiplying by 7.5.
2. Divide the volume in gallons by the typical turnover rate of 6 hours (360 minutes) to get the flow rate.
3. Multiply the flow rate by a head loss factor of 1-1.1 depending on the pump location to account for distance and obstructions.
4. Select a pump that provides the appropriate flow rate for your pool system.

Tape measure 1. Determine the Pool Volume 1Measure the length of the pool in feet using the tape measure. 2Measure the width of the pool if the pool is rectangular. 3Multiply the length by the width, for rectangular pools, or multiply half the length by half the length times pi, for circular pools. This gives you the surface area of the pool. 4Multiply the surface area by the average depth to get the volume in square feet. 2. Determine the Pump Size 1Convert the pool volume in cubic feet to gallons by multiplying the volume by 7.5. 2Divide the volume of the pool in gallons by the turnover rate in minutes to get the fow rate. The typical turnover rate is six hours, which would be 360 minutes. 3Multiply the fow rate by the head loss factor, which is the rate of the loss of water fow due to distance and obstructions. If the pump is located directly adjacent to the pool, then the factor is 1. If the pump is farther away from the pool (20 to 30 feet) or the system contains numerous bends, the factor is 1.1. 4Find a pump that will provide the appropriate fow rate for your system.
