Knowing a Pond's volume is important!

1) Gallons in a pond will tell you the following:

• Size of Pond Pump needed for your Pond.
• Size of Pond Filter needed for you Pond.
• Approximate number of fish for your Pond.
• How much treatment to apply for either pond clarity issues or fish health.

2) How to calculate approximate number of gallons in an existing pond:

• Volume for rectangular ponds: Avg. width x Avg. Length x x Avg. Depth = Pond Volume (cubic feet) Example: 10ft x 12ft x 2ft = 240 cubic feet. 240 cubic feet x 7.5 gal = 1800 gallons
• Volume for circular ponds: Radius x Radius x 3.14 x depth = Pond Volume (cubic feet)
• Volume of pond can be most accurately calculated by using a water meter that can be connected to a garden hose while initially filling the pond.
