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 can serve as a reservoir during startup. Based on a maximum of 3" available water height above the skimmer, 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
