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. It is also vital to know the amount of water you have when administering or adding any treatments as under/overdoses can be ineffective or even lethal.
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.
