Multiply the three numbers to get cubic inches. Divide that total by 231 to get the gallons. - .. Christopher A. Young learn more about Jesus .. www.lds.org .. .. |

[8~{} Uncle Genius Monster Many moons ago Hilda had a standing order with the milkman for two gallons every Monday. One day she had left a note for him requesting 15 gallons! He was stunned. He knocked on the door and asked her if the order was real? Yes, I heard that bathing in milk makes your wrinkles go away and makes your skin nice and soft. Ok, do you want pasteurized? No, just up to my tits! ;)} |

Use a stopwatch to see how long it takes to fill a container. That will give you the flow. Then use the stopwatch to see how long it takes to fill the tub. The one time I calculated, about 50 gal. Residental. More like 30 for trailer tub. - .. Christopher A. Young learn more about Jesus .. www.lds.org .. .. |

Residental. More like 30 for trailer tub. - In the 80s, when my father wanted to know why his electric bill was so high, I connected the 240VAC coil of a relay across the lower element of his water heater. The contacts turned on a battery-powered alarm clock, so I could calculate kWh. I found that he was heating a lot of water. He took a long bath each day. I believe I calculated about 20 gallons. This page agrees. http://www.sophisticatededge.com/how...htub-hold.html It says a tub will overflow the rim at 24 gallons. I think they mean the overflow drain. As he would displace water when he got in, he wouldn't fill it to the overflow. It seemed to me that he could not have used so much water unless he would repeatedly let some out and add hot to keep it warm. In that case, raising the heater thermostat would probably have saved electricity. |
