2) Effective Pond Volume

To determine the correct equipment for your pond, the actual volume of the system must be adjusted to compensate for adverse environmental factors. This is easily done by working out the 'effective volume' of your pond taking into consideration such factors as, direct exposure to sunlight, shallow depth, fish, climatic conditions etc. The 'effective volume' of your pond is determined by adding the percentages listed below to it's actual volume
