Flow rate GPH
Not sure if this is the correct forum for this but it is reef related.
I’m trying to determine flow through a UV sterilizer. So I’ve been trying to see how long it takes to fill a pail with 1 gallon of water. Obviously 1 gal per minute is 60 HPH. How can I determine the flow rate in GPH if 1 gallon fills the pail in 52 seconds.

69.23gph if my math is right.
60x60 = 3600 seconds in an hour Then 3600/52 should give you 69.23gph Take that SAT test Sent from my SM-G973U using Tapatalk

My mistake, it should be 25 seconds instead of 52. By that formula I calculate 144 GPH.
Not only should I take the SAT but I should wear my glasses to post.

Sounds right to me.
I guess you can also do 25/60=2.4gpm Then 2.4 x 60= 144gph Sent from my SM-G973U using Tapatalk
