Pond Free
Step-by-Step Pond Free®
Design & Sizing Guide
(To Help Measure & Calculate)
Decide the footprint of your Pond Free® feature. This will define how much water your system needs to handle.
L = Total length of waterfall and streamway combined
W = Average width of the streamway and waterfall
D = Average depth of the streamway in feet (e.g. 3” = 0.25’)
L × W × D = Cubic Feet of Water in Transit (WIT)
Note: 1 ft³ of water = 7.48 gallons
Example: 5’ Length × 2’ Width × 0.25’ Depth = 2.5 ft³
2.5 × 7.48 = 18.7 gallons ≈ 20 gallons
We recommend a basin that holds 2.5× the WIT. Use the calculator below to size your basin:
Use Pond Free® blocks and a waterfall well for compact, efficient basins. Based on your calculated gallons, we’ll recommend a package:
Don't forget to utilizing Pond Free® Blocks! Pond Free® Blocks offer a variety of benefits including a smaller project footprint and a lot less digging.
Savio Pond Free Packages are an excellent choice for homeowners seeking to upgrade their existing landscape. These recirculating water features are easy to install, very low maintenance, and offer unlimited design flexibility. Water flows downstream, along the Spillway, collects into a reservoir, and is pumped back up to the spillway. Pond Free Package Components are selected for compatibility and performance to provide enhanced aesthetics to you landscape. An ideal choice for families with children or pets without the precautions needed for pools.
