The Time to Pump calculator computes the time required to pump a volume of liquid (V) based on the pump (volumetric flow) rate (vR).

INSTRUCTIONS: Choose units and enter the following:

• (V) Volume of liquid (e.g. water)
• (vR)  Pump Volume Rate (e.g. 26 gal/min)

Time to Fill (p): The calculator returns the pump time in minutes.  However this can be automatically converted to many compatible units (e.g. seconds, hours, days) via the pull-down menu.

The Math / Science

   T = V/vR

where:

• T = Time to Pump
• V = Volume of liquid to be pumped
• vR = Pump Volumetric Flow rate

Flow Rates

• 40 gal/min - Utilitech Plug-in Pool Cover Pump
• 30 gal/min - Utilitech 115-Volt Thermoplastic Submersible Utility Pump
• 42 gal/min - Zoeller 0.33 HP  115-Volt Cast Iron Submersible Sump Pump
• 158 gal/min - Generac 2" Clean Water Pump-HP 120-Volt Aluminum Gas-Powered Utility Pump
