Pool drainage calculation
During the pool cleaning, two drains and one inlet were opened. The first outflow would empty the pool in 6 hours, the second outflow would fill it in 9 hours, and the inflow would fill it in 12 hours. How long will it take to empty if the drains are open from the start and the influx only after 4 hours?

- Pool inlet filling
We can fill the pool with two inflow pipes. The first pipe fill in 24 hours and the second in 16 hours. How long did the pool fill if the first tube was open for the first 4 hours and then we opened both inlets? - Larger pipe
Two supply pipes open into the pool, and the smaller pipe fills the pool in 40 hours. The empty pool will be filled in 16 hours if we open both supply pipes. How long would it take to fill if only the second, larger inlet pipe was opened? - Inlet and outlet
The pool has a capacity of 50 hl. The inlet pipe flows in 1 minute 1.25 hl, and the waste pipe outlet drains the full pool in 50 minutes. How long will it take to empty the entire pool when both the inlet and outlet are opened simultaneously? - Open simultaneously
An empty tank is filled with inflow in 30 minutes. A full tank is emptied in 75 minutes with an open drain. How long does it take for an empty tank to fill up if both the inlet and outlet are open simultaneously? - Polder filling
The polder has two tributaries. A larger inflow will fill an empty polder in 12 hours. The polder is already a quarter full. If we open both tributaries, the polder will be filled in 6 hours. How long would it take for a smaller inflow to fill an empty po - Inflow - outflow
The tank will fill by inflow for 56 minutes and empties by outflow for 77 minutes. How long does it take to fill the tank if it is open to inflow and outflow? - Water drainage
