T390F Pond and Stream Sizing
Follow steps 1 → 4📐 Rectangular Contracted Weir Calculator
Enter the waterfall width (L) and the depth of water flowing over the falls (H). Formula: Q = 3.33 × (L − 0.2H) × H3/2
Enter the thickness of the weir rock (inches)
Auto-calculated: Water depth over falls (A) + Rock thickness ÷ 1.714 (B ÷ 1.714)
Width of excavated channel before liner (feet)
Total length of the stream (feet)
Auto-calculated: C × D × E (converted to gallons)
💧 Pond Reservoir Details
The pond acts as a reservoir during startup. Based on a 1½" allowable pond surface drop and the available water height above the skimmer (max 3"), the pond contributes gallons that offset the total containment required.
Total surface area of the pond (square feet)
Circulation = 0.15 × Pond Surface Area
Waterfall GPM + Circulation GPM · S64 for flows up to 80 GPM · S66 for flows 81 – 200 GPM
