Everything about your pond, in one place, from first dig to routine care: whether the liner size and depth zones are actually right, what changed in the water this week, whether the pond is ready for its first freeze, and what still needs doing.
Replaces the build math worked out on a scrap of paper, the water-test results you cannot compare to last week, and the stocking plan and predator defenses you are holding together in your head.

Who made this
Built by the KoiPondCalculator team from the same volume, liner, pump and stocking formulas the free site's calculators run on, laid out as a workbook to fill in rather than a page to read.

Questions
Does this replace the free site?
No. The free site has the calculators and care guides; the kit is where your own pond's numbers get written down, dated and reused, plus the running-cost spreadsheet and the week-by-week water trend the free pages do not carry.
Does this tell me how much medication or salt to use?
No, and it says so throughout. Any dose or treatment amount comes from the product's own label; this kit only helps you keep track of what you did and when.
Is this a substitute for an aquatic vet or a licensed electrician?
No. It is a way to organize what you observe and measure so a vet has real detail instead of a guess, and a checklist for what to hire out. It never diagnoses a sick fish, sets a dose, or tells you how to wire anything.
I am still planning my first pond. Will this help?
Yes, that is exactly who this is for. The build planner, liner-size math, pump and filtration sizing, and stocking planner take you from an empty yard to a stable, stocked pond without skipping a step.
Why so much focus on herons and winterizing?
Because they are widely reported as two of the most common ways backyard ponds actually lose fish: a heron that finds an unprotected pond, and a sealed winter ice cap with no gas exchange. Each gets its own checklist instead of a passing mention.
What if it does not help?
Use the whole kit for 30 days. If it does not help, the refund form on the contact page gets every dollar back, no questions asked. Refund form.
Printable or fillable on screen?
Both. Print it and write by hand, or open a worksheet PDF in a reader that supports typing and fill it on a tablet or phone.
