I really have no idea how to fill in the chart...

Pump Filling Rate \"1%2F12\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "valve FILLING Rate \"-1%2F20\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Pump&Valve Together \"1%2F12-1%2F20=%285%2F5%29%281%2F12%29-%283%2F3%29%281%2F20%29=2%2F60=1%2F30\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The combined filling rate for pump and valve together is ONE pool in 30 hours.
\n" ); document.write( "Notice, the valve filling rate is NEGATIVE.
