Question 1

how many gallon/ton water does one dunk covers for pond?

Accepted Answer

I realize this is an old question but for people wondering, we have an 86' diameter pond. To find out how many dunks are needed we half the diameter to the radius (43), square that number by multiplying it by itself (43x43=1849) then multiply by 3.14159 (5808.8) now divide by the 100 Sq Ft each dunk covers = 58 dunks to do our pond for 30 days. Wow. The better solution for a large pond is a submersible sump pump on a timer to come on at regular intervals and keep the water aerated and moving.
