Active Wet Well Volume Calculator

Formula

To calculate the Active Wet Well Volume (V):

\[ V = \frac{CT \times Q}{4} \]

Where:

\(V\) is the Well Volume in gallons
\(CT\) is the Cycle Time in minutes
\(Q\) is the Pump Rate in gallons per minute

What is Active Wet Well Volume?

An active wet well is a well that is filled through active pumping of water into the well. The volume is the average volume of the water held in that well. This measurement is important for determining the capacity and efficiency of pumping systems.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following values:

Cycle Time (\(CT\)) = 10 minutes
Pump Rate (\(Q\)) = 40 gallons per minute

Using the formula:

\[ V = \frac{10 \times 40}{4} = \frac{400}{4} = 100 \text{ gallons} \]

The Active Wet Well Volume is 100 gallons.
