How to calculate the flow rate of the fish tank filter? Calculate the required flow rate of the filter (liters/hour) based on the water volume of the fish tank (length x width x height, in liters). The pump flow rate required for the fish tank filter is five to ten times the volume of water. Just filter the water in the tank 4-6 times per hour. For example, if a fish tank is one meter long, 60 centimeters wide, and 60 centimeters high, the water capacity in the tank is 360 liters. The pump flow rate of the fish tank filter needs to be between 2160-2880 liters per hour. The value is converted based on the filtering flow rate being 6-8 times the capacity of the cylinder. Attention to Additional Information

1. Before use, users must first check whether the rated voltage marked on the water pump is consistent with the actual operating voltage.

2、 When installing, dismantling, and cleaning the water pump, it is necessary to first unplug the lead source plug of the electric generator and cut off the power supply to ensure safety.

3、 It is necessary to regularly clean the filter basket and filter cotton to ensure normal water intake and good filtration effect.

4、 The maximum immersion depth of the water pump in water is 0.4 meters. Reference source: Baidu Baike - Fish Tank Submersible Pump

What size of water pump is needed for a 2.60 fish tank? What is the flow rate of the water pump used for a 60 meter fish tank?

Use a 10w-12w (fixed frequency) or 6w-13w (variable frequency) water pump for the 60 fish tank, with a flow range of 413L/H-791L/H.

1. The water volume range of a 60 cm fish tank refers to a length of 60 cm, but the width and height are not clearly defined.

. The
Fish tank flow calculation
refore, it can only be listed based on common sizes on the market. For example, with a length of 60 centimeters, a width of 30 centimeters, a height of 36 centimeters, and a water level of 33 centimeters, the total water volume of the fish tank is approximately 59 liters. The fish tank measures 60 centimeters in length, 35 centimeters in width, 40 centimeters in height, and 37 centimeters in water level. The total water volume of the tank is approximately 77 liters. The fish tank measures 60 centimeters in length, 40 centimeters in width, and 40 centimeters in height, with a water level of 37 centimeters. The total water volume of the tank is approximately 88 liters. The fish tank measures 60 centimeters in length, 40 centimeters in width, 45 centimeters in height, and has a water level of 42 centimeters. The total water volume of the tank is approximately 100 liters. The fish tank measures 60 centimeters in length, 45 centimeters in width, and 45 centimeters in height, with a water level of 42 centimeters. The total water volume of the tank is approximately 113 liters. Therefore, the water volume range for a 60 liter fish tank is between 59 liters and 113 liters.

Secondly, the flow range and head of the water pump are generally related to the flow rate of the fish tank water pump, which is 6-10 times that of the water in the fish tank. This means that the water pump circulates the fish tank water 6-10 times per hour.

. Here, the calculation is based on the commonly used 7-fold water circulation relationship, which is 59 × 7=413L/H and 113 × 7=791L/H. Therefore, the flow rate range of the water pump is between 413L/H and 791L/H. Most of the 60 cylinders are upper filter fish tanks, so a pump head of more than 0
