3.1 Sizing your Aquascape™ AquaForce™ Pump to your pond.
• Determine the volume of your pond. If you are unsure of your total pond volume, it can be
calculated by measuring in feet the average Length of your pond, the average Width, and
the average Depth. Multiply these measurements – Length X Width X Depth – this will
give you the average volume of the pond in cubic feet. Since there are 7.48 US Gallons per
cubic foot, we can multiply Length X Width X Depth X 7.48. Example – for a pond that is
8(L) X 5(W) X 2(D) = 80 cubic feet X 7.48 = 598.4 US Gallons.
• You want to ensure that the total volume of pond water in your pond is turned over at least
once every two hours. That means in a 1500 gallon pond, the minimum size pump you
could choose would be the Aquascape™ AquaForce™ Pump 1000.
• You also want to ensure that whatever filtration system you are using can handle the
amount of water that the Aquascape™ AquaForce™ Pump model you have chosen
will produce. For example, the Aquascape™ UltraKlean™ 1500 Pressure Filter has a
maximum flow rate of 1500 GPH (Gallons Per Hour). The Aquascape™ AquaForce™
Pump—1000 or Aquascape™ AquaForce™ Pump—1500 may be used.
3.2 Sizing the Tubing to your Aquascape™ AquaForce™ Pump.
• The correct sized tubing is extremely important because of the restrictions encountered
when pumping water through tubing. Tubing that is too small will affect the performance
of your pump. Refer to Table 2 for minimum tubing size. In all cases, it is better to oversize
the tubing for maximum performance.
