Understanding Pool Turnover Rate

The pool turnover rate is a measure of how quickly all the water in a pool is circulated through the filter system. A lower turnover rate means the water is not being filtered as effectively, which can lead to poorer water quality.

A typical pool turnover rate is between 4 to 6 hours, meaning the entire volume of water passes through the filter system within this time frame. However, this can vary depending on the size of the pool and the capacity of the filtration system.

Why is Pool Turnover Rate Important?

Proper pool turnover rate is crucial for maintaining water clarity, sanitation, and overall water quality. It ensures that all water in the pool is filtered and treated regularly, reducing the risk of algae growth and maintaining a healthy swimming environment.
