Sizing Your Pond for Effective Aeration:

Size: You can easily calculate the size of your pond using the following equation:
Length × Width ÷ 43,560 = pond size in acres.
If your pond falls between sizes, always round up.

Example: A pond that is 600 feet long and 120 feet wide would be calculated as follows:
600 × 120 ÷ 43,560 = 1.6 acres.
In this case, the best system for the pond would be the SAS2.

Shape: Round ponds provide more effective aeration than irregular or narrow-shaped ponds. Typically, one double diffuser per acre placed near the center of a circular pond will provide sufficient aeration. In contrast, narrow, long, or irregularly shaped ponds often require two or more diffusers to properly circulate the entire water volume.

It may be beneficial to view your pond from an aerial perspective using software such as Google Earth to better understand its shape.
