How much sodium bentonite I needed to seal a pond?
As an interesting fact, this is one of the most complicated questions to answer for our clients. The amount depends on several factors, like the type of soil, the size of the pond, the depth, the quality of the sodium bentonite, the purpose of the pond and the wildlife around the area.
Below you will find a small reference table depending on the type of soil and based on a maximum 8 ft depth. If the pond is deeper, you’ll have to add more bentonite per square foot.
You can also visit our online Bentonite Calculator for a quick reference calculation.
Soil condition → Pond sealant amount per square foot
Rock or gravel → 3.0 to 3.5 lbs / sq ft
Clean Sand → 2.5 to 3.5 lbs /sq ft
Silty Sand → 2.0 to 2.5 lbs / sq ft
Sandy Silt 20% Clay Min → 1.5 to 2.0 lbs / sq ft

What happens after the bentonite is delivered?
How to unload your order, equipment needed and weight of the bentonite.
Please consider that you’ll need equipment to unload 3,000 lbs super sacks or 2,500 lbs pallet from a flatbed truck. These super sacks have straps on top to grab with your tractor, excavator, front loader, bobcat, or forklift. and you can unload from the eighteen-wheeler flatbed truck.
Most of the time, the super sacks do not have wooden pallets underneath; if you require pallets, please call and request on your order (cost per pallet will be added to your order).
All our super sacks come with a very efficient discharge valve. The location of the discharge valve is underneath the super sack, for effortless pouring. To efficiently release the pond sealant, you must pick up the bag and untie the valve to start pouring the liner on top of your soil.
What is Sodium Bentonite and its History?
Bentonite is volcanic ash from million or thousand of years old. It mainly consists of mineral montmorillonite and lesser amounts of other minerals such as pyrite, feldspar, quartz, and calcite.
An American geologist identified swelling water clay in and around rocky formation near Fort Benton and given the name “mineral soap.”
During the 1920s, when researchers called bentonite clay and the important Properties of montmorillonite Bentonite.
Mineral with a density between 2.2 and 2.8 g/cm3 depending upon its quality and the presence of other minerals. When wet, the volume expands almost 13 times more than when it is dry and its dry mass in water (depending on the quality of the bentonite).
This property of bentonite clay is favorable for filling small and large voids or spaces. Sodium bentonite pond sealer acts as a barrier between the water and the surface, preventing seepage of water, which is an essential requirement while constructing any water body, like ponds, dams, wells, and lagoons.
