Question

I need a pump of water out of a flooded basement using two 50 gallon per minute gpm pumps the dimensions is 16 inches how long will it take the water to pump out of the basement

Answer 1

The watre is 16 inches deep so and you can use our volume calculator to calculate the amount of water in the basement.

A: 40 ft by 28 ft by 16 inches gives 11171 U.S. gallons
B: 16 ft by 22 ft by 16 inches gives 3510.9 U.S. gallons

For a total of 14681.9 gallons. At 50 gallons per minute it will take 294 minutes which is about 5 hours and hence with 2 pumps about 2.5 hours.

I hope this helps,
