12 Free Pond Calculators

I have created 12 different pond calculators described briefly below. These calculators work in Microsoft Excel and are fully editable. You can get them FREE here.
List of the 12 Calculators
--------------------------
1. Complete Pond Pump Selector... Microsoft Excel file to help you calculate anything about pumps. There are 34 important requirements in specifying pond pumps ... pump head, pump flow, power consumed, pressure losses in pipes and fittings.
2. Vol & Weight Conversions... Excel file to help you convert all sorts of different units easily. You will find this calculator very useful in surfing the web since many sites use a variety of different units to define product performance.
3. Waterfall Flow Rates... Use Excel to help you work out flow rates for your waterfall. Essentially the water flow over a waterfall is defined by the width of the overflow lip(lips). The pump selected must be able to lift the quantity of water required to the inlet of the waterfall (pump head).
4. Flowrate Conversions Flow rates from galls and cu metres to litres and other units and vice versa. You will find this calculator very useful in surfing the web since many sites use a variety of different units to define product performance.
5. How Many Fish For Your Pond?... Avoid overstocking your pond. This calculator will work out the fish holding capacity of your pond.
6. Koi Food Economics... Save money on koi food. Use this calculator to save yourself a lot of money on buying fish food. Few producers actually "tell the truth" on their packaging.
7. Calculate Pond Volume Regular Shaped Ponds... Calculate pond volume of regular shaped ponds such as rectangular, square or round ... in fact any shape made up of regular shapes.
8. Calculate Pond Volumes Irregular Shaped Ponds... Calculate pond volume of irregular shaped ponds. This calculator will actually apply to most ponds since few are regular in shape. It is important to know pond volume for a variety of reasons.
9 Running Cost Your Pump... Work out running costs for your pump and then learn how to save money by running 2 pumps instead of one using the next calculator.
10 Save Money Run 2 Pumps... Here's what you need to know to save lots of money on pump costs ... believe it or not in many cases it is cheaper to run 2 pumps instead of one.
11. Short Fat Pipes Are Best... Use wide diameter and short run pipes for best results. Pump power is lost in transporting water through pipes and fittings. Pressure drop as it is called can be reduced by doing the right things.
12. Size Your Pipe... Learn to size your pipework correctly to minimise pressure drop and maximise flow from your pond pump.

Here's the place you can find them ...
