      a bucket and a stop watch are more practical in this case.

      Are you scoring by proximity, or by The Price is Right?
      Hard to tell without putting my hand in it. Now this is going to bother me all day, wondering what your magic number is.
      My guess is 24 gallons per hour

      Fine I change my original guess, my guess now is 300 gallons per day
      So about 20% wc daily on your 1500 gallons pond.

      Question is strictly in regards to flow rate. I use a timer and it is on only a few hours a day.

      But you are only allow 3 hours Humm
      Final answer is that hose is running 11.6 gph
      Final answer
