    Water Flow Rate in Residential Water System

    Correct, not built yet. This is what I meant by hypothetical. I measured flow with a 5gal bucket and a stopwatch.

    Water Flow Rate in Residential Water System

    Thank you everyone for the analysis. The numbers i provided are the best i got. Manufacturer gave me the 10psi drop number and the 7gpm number. I measured the Inflow psi and gpm myself. Not sure why the numbers aren't adding up. I will be actually installing the system in the next week. I am...

    Water Flow Rate in Residential Water System

    Inflow at entry ground level is: 95psi in static no flow condition. 77psi @ 10.75gpm in flowing condition. 10psi drop from filter. 7GPM flow rate after filter. Only thing that restricts flow at filter cis filter itself. It actually 6 filters in series. Thank you everyone.

    Water Flow Rate in Residential Water System

    Chicopee, yes that is what i originally stated. A few posts later i clarified to you,"Hi Chicopee, Thank you. Yes the 95 psi at inflow meter is in static condition." Sorry If I am misunderstanding but i don't know where you are getting the 110 & 105 psi from. Inflow at entry ground level is...

    Water Flow Rate in Residential Water System

    OMG trying to get that information from the company. Not something they are either capable or willing to share. Got a little contentious. Still waiting for the info. I am afraid you are mistaken chicopee. My original post states 95psi which i clarified later to be static. I do not know the...

    Water Flow Rate in Residential Water System

    Hi Chicopee, Thank you. Yes the 95 psi at inflow meter is in static condition. I don't know the pressure drop after the filter just the restricted gpm.

    Water Flow Rate in Residential Water System

    Thank you littleinch. So drop in psi does not mean drop in flow rate? The psi will be dropping with every foot of horizontal and vertical pipe. By the time it gets to the outlet i would guess it is somewhere around 80psi. Wouldn't the accumulated drop in psi after the filter drop the flow rate...

    Water Flow Rate in Residential Water System

    Hello, Was hoping to find a calculator online that i could plug this data into simply but can't find. Tried to teach myself the calculations i found but didn't stick. Could someone please calculate this and explain how you calculated it if you have time? Trying to calculate the GPM Flow Rate...
