Can anyone tell me what I need pump wise for a summer wave 15’ pool? It came with a pump but based of my calculations I will need to run it for 5 hrs a day (pos).

And also any pointers for keeping it clear is appreciated!!

15' x 4'

so that's 5,310 gallons capacity


You want to filter 100% of the water every eight hours.

So it needs to pump 665 gallons an hour. But pumps are measured in Gallons per minute so divide by 60 and get 11.06. So a 12gpm pump should do you fine.

are you sure? It's not 4' then. You didn't give enough info.

Take the gallons then / 8 / 60

to get the minimum gpm you need from a pump.

Basically you can get the shittiest cheapest pump if you have less than 3,000 gallons.

The only thing worse than a fricking pool is a fricking wannabe pool.

It is small enough that when the water gets gross, you can drain it, clean it, and fill it back up again pretty easily. That is good.
