Is there a way to figure out just how many gallons an hour a pump has to pump for a 180gal. tank. Thank you. db

180 x 10 = 1800 gal per hour [you want to turn the water over at least 10 times per hour]

I would turn it over 20 times per hour 180x20= 3600 gph

get a pump geared for close to 4000 gph and you can cut it back alittle if you have too. better to have more and cut back then not to have enough.
