Newbie question about gallon per minute

[pacman72]

I have 15,000 Gallon chlorine water pool, it is equipped with Pentair IntelliFlo variable speed pump (new pool 1 year old), my deep end is 5.5 feet and my shallow is 3 feet.
How can I calculate my Gallons per minute in different speeds ?

Thanks in advance

Welcome to TFP!!!

Why do you think you need to know the GPM? It is actually not a trivial thing to try to estimate.
FYI, the most efficient speed as far as $/GPM is around 1000 RPM.

Perhaps this will help answer your question:
pool-school/pump_run_time

Thanks for the reply,
the reason I want to know the GPM is to make sure I circulate the pool water on a daily basis, my pump is set to 1400RPM for 11 hours, I have 15,000 gallon, and if I knew how many Gallons per minute my pump circulates at that speed, I can calculate the daily gallons.

The documentation for you pump should give you a approx idea
Some pumps have g.p.m. On the data plate.

Welcome to tfp, pacman72

Most pools do not need a full turnover per day (and a few need more). How long the pump needs to run is really controlled by your comfort with your pools clarity and other factors such as heating or method of chlorination, etc. Definitely take a look at the link jblizzle pointed you to above.
