About this calculator
The pool filter ideal calculator helps determine the correct size of a filter for your pool, ensuring the water is clean and healthy for use. It uses the formula V/6h, where V is the pool volume in cubic meters and h is the water depth in meters.
It is essential to remember that the formula V/6h provides the minimum flow rate required for the filter, but may not be enough for pools with high water demand, such as those with many people swimming or heating systems.
In addition, it is crucial to consider factors such as filter efficiency, material resistance, and regular maintenance to ensure the filter works correctly and does not become a point of failure in your pool cleaning system.
A reference table is available to help choose the correct filter size for your pool.
