Calculating Pond Capacity
It is important to calculate the correct pond capacity to enable the right level of filtration to be chosen for your pond and a to give a guide on a minimum flow rate to work in conjunction with any filter. The easiest way to do this is to measure the length, the width and the depth of your pond in feet. If your pond is not a regular shape you will need to work out the average of all sizes and use this to calculate the capacity.
Once you have all three dimensions you need to multiply these all together, and then multiply this calculation by 6.25.
e.g. a pond that is 10 feet long and 10 feet wide and 2 feet deep would use the calculation: 10 x 10 x 2 = 200
200 x 6.25 = 1250 gallons (remember this is a guide!)
If you require this capacity in litres which most companies now work with you will need to multiply the number of gallons by 4.5
e.g. calculate the number of litres by knowing the pond is 1250 gallons: 1250 x 4.5 = 5,625 litres
Again this will give you a guide…
This calculation also works the opposite way to find the number of gallons from know the number of litres in your pond by dividing instead of multiplying.
e.g. calculate the number of gallons by knowing the pond is 1250 litres:
1250 / 4.5 = 277.77 gallons (simple….)
