Pond volume

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

The volume in cubic metres and litres, from the pond’s area and its mean depth.

Use the mean depth over the whole area, not the maximum depth: a beach and a plateau bring the mean down.

YOU DRAW THE POND

In Atoll Maker, this comes from the drawn pond.

Outline, levels, beach, deck, stone and planting — in plan or in 3D, with the real site underneath.

METHOD

Rectangular: length × width × mean depth. Oval: π/4 × length × width × mean depth. Known area: area × mean depth. Advisory: it does not replace the hydraulic design.

In Atoll Maker the volume is integrated over the modelled basin, beach, plateau and banks included.

Circulation flow

The flow in L/h and m³/h that turns the pond’s volume over.

Pipe head loss

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

UV steriliser

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

Atoll Maker calculates this from the drawn pond.

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