What Pump RPM To Run Electric Heat Pump?

From www.swimmingpoolsteve.com/pag... - Swimming pool plumbing designs and flow rates are unique to each pool so finding the right pump speed to meet electric heat pump requirements would also be unique to each pool. Heat pumps from different manufacterers will have varying minimum and maximum flow rates with most of them having an optimal flow rate of about 40 GPM. The best way to optimize the speed and flow of your pool system for an electric heat pump, or any other peripheral device, is to use a flow meter. Using a flow meter allows for the pump RPM to be set more precisely to meet the flow requirements for your system.

While out new $100k+ pool did not have a flowmeter, I estimated the flow by using a bucket and stopwatch. I "calibrated" the 5 gallon bucket with 5 measured gallon jugs of water and marked the level on the bucket. I then used a piece of 3/4" tubing pressed tightly to the eyeball water jet fitting. With the pump running, my helper watched the bucket level as it was filled by the tubing and measured the time. I did this for each of the four eyeball water return fittings. I repeated each test to verity consistency. Total flow of the four fittings was 46 gpm.
