I have a new pond that is a half acre in size bout 6 foot average depth. Do You guys know Wat size well I would need and size pump for a pond this size.

The pond is in Mississippi.

Hey Eaton30,

What makes you think you are going to need a well? Not all ponds do.

Just figured for pond evaporation. . Naw not need it but if I do would like to know a size.

FWIW My well is 5 inch, 1.5 HP constant pressure variable speed pump that delivers 35 GPM at 60 psig. I can raise my approximate 1/4 acre 5 to 6 inches in 48 hours. I have a water table pond so the 35 GPM also has to make up the leakage back to water table during the 48 hours of pumping.

Edit: The reason I sized mine so large is it also provides water to the house and my geothermal pump and dump.

eaton, 1 inch of water over an acre is about 27,000 gallons. It depends on just how often you will want to use it, your budget, etc.
