About the Pond Calculator

Garden ponds are rarely a perfect rectangle, so this calculator applies a shape factor to a simple length × width × depth estimate to better approximate the true water volume of a rounded or free-form pond.

Formula: Volume = Length × Width × Average Depth × Shape Factor; Gallons = Cubic Feet × 7.48

Measure average depth by averaging several spots across shelves and the deep zone, since most ponds vary in depth. Knowing your pond's gallon volume is essential for sizing a pump, filter and UV clarifier, and for dosing treatments correctly.
