Pond Recommendations and Rules of Thumb
Pump Size
Example: A 500 gallon pond should have at least a 500gph pump circulating the water.
Unless you have an arm and a leg you’re willing to part with, it’s best to have an energy efficient pump running your filtration system. A simple way to calculate the operation cost of a pump that runs 24/7 would be to multiply the amperage by 11. Example: One of our 3000gph AquaSurge ™ Pumps operates on 120V and 1.5A which gives it an operation cost of about $16.50 a month.
Example: A 15’ length x 10’ width x 2’ depth pond would need a liner size of 21’ x 16’
