Spa drain-and-refill turnaround calculator

Calculate drain time and fill time with your own figures.

Your numbers

Use the units shown. Results update as you change valid inputs.

Use drain time and fill time to compare changes to your inputs. The method and limits below explain the scope.

Calculation method

Calculation method

Drain time (minutes)

Downtime=volume/drainRate+cleaning+volume/fillRate+measured heat-up.

Fill time (minutes)

Downtime=volume/drainRate+cleaning+volume/fillRate+measured heat-up.

Sequential total downtime (minutes)

Downtime=volume/drainRate+cleaning+volume/fillRate+measured heat-up.

Symbols and units
a
Spa water volume (L)
b
Measured drain rate (L/min)
c
Cleaning time (minutes)
d
Measured fill rate (L/min)
e
Measured subsequent heat-up time (minutes)

Use the units shown. A list keeps the order in which you enter its values. The symbol ^ means “raised to the power of”.

Assumptions & limits

Assumptions & limits

  • Sequential operations, no overlapping heating/filling or safety readiness determination. Supported limits: All required fields must be finite values of the exact declared type and within displayed bounds. Lists contain1–1000 finite numbers. JSON tables are numeric rectangular rows, at most100 rows and30 columns; individual tools have stricter shape/domain constraints. Sequential operations, no overlapping heating/filling or safety readiness determination.
