CAPACITY SIZING INFORMATION: The 1700 GPH performance was obtained through a 1 inch I.D. tube, with friction losses neglected. Using a 3/4" garden hose 50 foot long reduces this performance to approximately 500 gallons per hour due to friction losses in the hose. If your area frequently has heavy rainfalls, (1" - 2" per hour), it may be necessary to use 1" tubing. This should be available in most pool supply stores.The number of gallons of water that your pool will collect in a rainfall of one inch per hour can be computed as follows: Cover overall length (ft.) x cover overall width (ft.) x .6234 = gallons per hour.NOTE: This is cover dimension, and not pool dimension. Examples: * A 16' x 32' pool cover would collect 319 gallons (16 x 32 x .6234 = 319) in 1 hour, in 1" per hour rain. * A 20' x 40' pool cover would collect 499 gallons (20 x 40 x .6234 = 499) in 1 hour, in 1" per hour rain.
