Need Help Finding the Right Model Pond Pump? Calculate Your Pump Requirements
Pond Dimensions
Waterfall Width
Head Height
Pond Dimensions
Enter the general size of your pond. Measure the length, width, and average depth in feet. This helps calculate the total water volume.
Waterfall Width
Measure the width of your waterfall spillway in inches. We recommend 100 gallons per hour (GPH) per inch of waterfall width for optimal flow.
Head Height
Enter the vertical elevation from the pond surface to the top of the waterfall, pipe length, and diameter. These factors affect pump performance and head loss.
Calculation Method
The calculator determines pond volume, required waterfall flow, circulation needs, and accounts for head loss from elevation and pipe friction to recommend the proper pump size.
Stream Dimensions
Waterfall Width
Head Height
Stream Dimensions
Enter the length and width of your stream bed in feet. For pondless waterfalls, we calculate stream volume using a standard depth factor.
Waterfall Width
Measure the width of your waterfall spillway in inches. We recommend 100 gallons per hour (GPH) per inch of waterfall width for optimal flow.
Head Height
Enter the vertical elevation from the pond surface to the top of the waterfall, pipe length, and diameter. These factors affect pump performance and head loss.
Calculation Method
For pondless waterfalls, the calculator determines stream volume, waterfall flow requirements, and accounts for head loss to recommend the appropriate pump size for your feature.
