minutes = capacity_gal / fill_gpm

How to use this estimate

Estimate how many minutes a pump needs to fill a tank from capacity and fill rate. How it works: minutes = capacity_gal / fill_gpm. Out of scope: pump affinity laws; variable head; overflow alarms; chemical compatibility. This is an approximate screening estimate, not a substitute for manufacturer charts or a full engineering design. Does not certify code compliance; confirm manufacturer data where it applies.
