I hope it’s okay to ask all these questions in the Introduction forum. I think I’ll cross-post in Newbies.
New, accurate dimensions:
6’8” round x 22” deep = 479 US Gallons
The calculators at pond.com tell me we have a 479 US Gallon pond so the minimum pump required is 240 GPH. The water will need to be pumped about 6 ft up (8 ft from bottom of pond). I estimate we will need 7’-10’ feet of hose to go from pump to top of waterfall wall depending on whether we have a submersible pump or an exterior pump. I know the Friction Head formula is 1 ft per 10 ft of hose. How do I figure what the Static Head is? Also, do I need a filter in addition to pump? Thank you!!
