How We Calculate This

The calculator computes the volume of water effect product needed from the area and depth of your water feature.

Formula

  • Volume (ml) = Length (cm) x Width (cm) x Depth (cm)
  • Pour count = Total depth / 3mm per pour (rounded up)
  • Ripple gel: ~0.05 ml per cm² of surface area
