Circulation flow

Atoll Maker — pond design software. Draw the pond; the app sizes the system, routes the pipework and issues the drawings.

The flow that turns the whole volume of the pond over a set number of times an hour.

Atoll Maker’s system targets three turnovers an hour.

THE SYSTEM ASSEMBLES ITSELF

Filtration sized from the volume, equipment placed, and pipework routed to every return.

METHOD

Flow = volume × turnovers an hour. Advisory: it does not replace the hydraulic design.

In Atoll Maker the flow is checked against the hydraulics as drawn: bore, length, bends, fittings and lift.

Pond volume

The volume in m³ and litres, from the area and the mean depth.

The head loss of a run of pipe or hose, fittings included.

UV-C lamps, installed wattage and maximum flow, from the pond’s volume.

Draw the pond and the system assembles itself: volume, filtration, pipework, head loss and the drawings.
