    EASY PLANNING FORMULAS AND CONVERSIONS

     

    Here are a few simple formulas and conversions that may help you in planning your water garden and selecting proper equipment. Formulas are approximate figures only. Remember you cannot over filter so in hot climates, direct sun or shallow ponds oversize your filter when possible. 

    HOW TO CALCULATE SIZE OF POND LINER

     

    Length = (Depth x 2) + Length + 2 feet

     

    Width = (Depth x 2) + Width + 2 feet

     

    Example:  For a finished pond of 8' x 10' x 2.5', purchase a liner which measures at least

     

    Length = (2.5 x 2) + 10 + 2 = 17'

     

    Width = (2.5 x 2) + 8 + 2 = 15'

    HOW TO CALCULATE GALLONS IN A POND

     

    Length x Width x Depth x 7.5 = Pond Gallons

    Example:  12' x 10' x 2' x 7.5 = 1800 Gallons
