Pond Boss Forums GENERAL QUESTIONS Water chemistry Pond Water Treatment System for Household Use??

Esshup,

In my ponds short life and others I'm familiar with in the area over a longer term, I believe rain fall will suffice to refill it on a regular basis.

My pond is approx. one surface acre and holds around 3.5 million gallons of water. With some assistance, I filled it completely in three weeks. It has been at full pool for a couple months now and is usually a couple inches above my overflow pipe. I know in the summer its going to drop more due to greater evaporation, but I don't think the amount of drinking water should affect the pond elevation much. In the past 10 years, I've used less than 60,000 gallons per year in the house. That only equates to 0.18" of water per year and we get ample rain fall in the area to replace that regularly.
