When it comes to swim spas, understanding the water flow rate is crucial for a great swimming experience. Let’s delve into the calculation formula using the FSPA 12*3.2 – meter pool as an example.
The water flow rate in a swim spa is determined by a simple yet effective formula: the area of the infinity swimming outlet multiplied by the tested flow velocity and then by the number of seconds in an hour. In the case of the FSPA pool, the outlet has a length of 780mm (0.78m) and a width of 370mm (0.37m). The tested flow velocity is 2m/s.
First, we calculate the area of the outlet, which is 0.78m * 0.37m = 0.2886m². Then, we multiply this area by the flow velocity (2m/s) and the number of seconds in an hour (3600s). So, 0.2886m² * 2m/s * 3600s = 2088m³/h.
This calculation is significant as it gives us an idea of the power and intensity of the water current in the swim spa. A higher flow rate means a stronger current, which is ideal for long – distance swimming or more challenging workouts. With the FSPA pool’s calculated flow rate, swimmers can enjoy a continuous and uninterrupted swimming experience, just like swimming in an endless ocean.
So, next time you’re considering a swim spa, remember the importance of calculating the water flow rate to find the perfect one for your needs.
