Intex pumps have two types of flow rate: pump flow rate and system flow rate.<\/p><p>There&#8217;s the pump flow rate (GPH or gallons per hour). It indicates how powerful the Pump is. The larger your pool, the more powerful the pump should be.\u00a0<\/p><p><b>A 1,000 GPH pump is ideal for a 3,000-gallon Intex pool. If you have a 20,000-gallon Intex pool, you&#8217;ll need a 3,000 GPH or higher Pump.\u00a0<\/b><\/p><p>The system flow rate, also called the pool turnover rate, indicates how much water the Pump runs through the filter per hour. It is usually lower than the pump flow rate.\u00a0<\/p><p>As long as you choose the correct pump flow rate for your pool size, you don&#8217;t need to worry about the system flow rate.\u00a0<\/p><p>The only benefit of knowing the system flow rate is to determine how long it takes the Pump to clean the entire pool. This tells you how long to set the timer.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-9e9d3e7 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"9e9d3e7\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-7257d1d\" data-id=\"7257d1d\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-406f475 uae-toc-hide-heading elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"406f475\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">2.
