📊 Example: How Long to Fill 150 Gallons at 5 GPM?

Let’s walk through an example:

• Total Gallons: 150
• Flow Rate: 5 GPM

After clicking Calculate, the tool returns:

• Minutes: 30.00
• Hours: 0.5000
• Seconds: 1800
• Days: 0.020833
• Formatted Time (HH:MM:SS): 00:30:00

So, it would take exactly 30 minutes to move 150 gallons of water at a flow rate of 5 gallons per minute.
