How to determine how many gallons of water are in my pond?

3/6/2017

Comments

 

Approximate Gallons of Water in a POND

​Length x Width x 80% x Avg. Depth x 7.48 = total gallons
***the basin takes up approximately 80% of the actual SQ. FT.

​Approximate Gallons of Water in a STREAM

​(Length x Width x .25 (Depth) x 7.48) = Gallons in the stream.

 Approximate Gallons of Water in a PONDLESS® WATERFALL BASIN
With Stone

​Length x Width x Depth x 2.2 = Gallons in the Basin

Electrical Consumption / Conversions

​Amps x Volts ÷ 1,000 x (kw/per hour example: .10) x 24 hrs x 30.4 days = Monthly Cost
Watts = volts x amps
Amps = watts x volts

 
Allow us to share a little bit of water gardening knowledge with you ...

There is a lot of conflicting information out there about the dos and don't of water garden maintenance so your head may be spinning, wondering which steps are necessary and which ones aren't. The whole point of installing your pond in the first place was to reduce the stress in your life, not add it to.
 
The key to a low maintenance water garden is to keep your new ecosystem in balance! Read on and learn how to water garden the low maintenance way. So regardless of which type of water feature you own, we'll tell you the best way to maintain it with the least amount of work on your part!

​Ecosystem Ponds

The key to keeping an all-natural water garden in check is general ecosystem maintenance. The five elements of your ecosystem all need to be balanced in order to insure that everything is working smoothly. They are:​

  • Mechanical and Biological Filters
  • Pumps and Plumbing
  • Rocks and Gravel
  • Aquatic Plants
  • Fish
 These elements must all be present in order for the system to really work. Once your pond is balanced, it's not hard to see why maintaining a well-balanced ecosystem is easy. With the exception of some seasonal maintenance, all you really need to worry about is tossing a little beneficial bacteria into your pond and cleaning out your skimmer net once every week or two.
