Water Sifu #13: Water Math

Beginning and Advanced Water Math DVDsWater Math
(click to listen in a new window)

Knowing your water math is a huge step in passing any state exam. Those that know it have a huge step up and those that don’t are often doomed to fail. Unfortunately, finding information to teach water math in a clear and easy way can be difficult. This podcast will discuss my views on water math.  It will also introduce my beginning and advanced water math courses, and explain why I am absolutely confident that they can help even those who feel most lost to master these subjects.  You can find more info on them both at this link.

    Im currently taking a course of “WATER 107” and im having so much trouble understanding the subject of water math, I have viewed your videos showing how to work the problems and the solutions, and it has been a great help to me. Im definitely purchasing your DVD’s when I get the money. The time and effort you take out to help people like my self and many others is GREATLY appreciated!

    I purchased both DVDS. Do you have any podcasts on time and supply. Did not find on the dvds. IE.. If a 5mg tank has an effluent of 3,250 gpm, how long will it take to empty?

      Hi Lamont,

      The principles behind answering that problem are found on the Disc 1 of the first DVD course. They are listed under “flow conversions” and “flow problems” in the workbook that goes along with the course.

      But to answer the above problem for you:

      5 MG = 5,000,000 gallons
      5,000,000 gallons / 3250 gpm = 1538 minutes

      The answer in “minutes” form would be: 1538 minutes

      To answer that specific question exactly I would need to what form the answers are in (seconds, minutes, hours), but if the answers were in hours form…

      1538 minutes / 60 minutes in an hour = 25.64 hours

      .64 hours will likely need to be converted back to minutes, so:

      .64 hours x 60 seconds in an hour = 38.4 minutes

      Answer in hours form would be: 25 hours 38 minutes

    Hi, I understand that you’re proud of your DVD I may even order a copy. At the moment it is 5:30 I am listening to the math pod cast….. The intro is starting to drag….No offence but I don’t want to hear about your trip to Disney Land… Are all the pod castes like this??? I’m sure there is alot I can learn from you but you’re starting to lose me

      Hi Kevin. How in the world are you gonna diss my Disneyland story? lol. I recommend listening to more than 10 minutes of one of my podcasts before judging them all. Sometimes I get a little off track, but it’s all part of a grand scheme. This stuff can get dry, and I try to spice it up a bit. My style may not be for everyone, but it seems to work very well for most. I can assure you though, that any of my paid products.. ala the DVDs, get right into the subject matter. Thanks for your comment.

    Hello Ty,

    I ordered your DVD’S a little over 4 months ago, and they were a HUGH help!!!
    I just took my A Operators test for Oklahoma yesterday, and passed with flying colors.
    You explained the math so flawlessly, really makes it easy to understand. Visualization is everything when teaching, and you did a great job. I recommend your site to every operator I come into contact with now. Much thanks to you for putting this together! I wish you taught Wastewater classes too!!!

    Again Thank You,
