Pool pump size calculator

Type your pool gallons. You get the flow, in gallons a minute, that filters all the water in 6 hours.

Pump flow for a 6-hour turnover

55.6GPM

Gentler 8-hour turnover
41.7 gpm

Flow = gallons ÷ 360 minutes, never below 36 gpm: the residential filtration rate of ANSI/APSP/ICC-15, which the 2021 ISPSC references.

Size the pipes for that flow too: the standard keeps water under 8 ft per second in the return and 6 in the suction.
