Phenomenal! Man when i grow up i wanna be like jaak ! Great job everyone.

[@AtlantisWaterGardens]

Thank you, Ryan!

[@katrinaskevofylakas7585]

Telio as is Greeks would say, TELIO!!! (PERFECTION FOR ENQUIRING MINDS, ABSOLUTE PERFECTION)

[@elfocker]

I would definitely choose this over a traditional pool. 100,000, 00 percent 🔥🔥🔥

[@johnstup4479]

This is truly an amazing swim/pond Jaak! The pond, the waterfalls, the patio, all truly incredible! Well done guys!

[@AtlantisWaterGardens]

Thank you so much, John :)

[@markkintz1786]

A rec. pond for a family with four small kids seems like the best 20 year investment ever. The pea gravel beach looks like the best alternative to the 'sand' problems. This is the best rec. pond how-to that I've ever seen. And of course the art is the final congratulations.

[@AtlantisWaterGardens]

Thank you so much!

[@brianparker460]

Jaak and team, that is probably the top three, best pond I've seen you build!!!!

[@AtlantisWaterGardens]

Thanks!!

[@draselee6131]

Oh wow, love it! What an incredible backyard playground for those kids. This was worth the wait.

[@AtlantisWaterGardens]

Thanks, Drase

[@heidipustelniak652]

That tuned out great! So much better looking than a traditional backyard swimming pool!

[@AtlantisWaterGardens]

Agreed! :D

[@azizshaf9935]

Good job AWG team!! Really beautiful and relaxing pond

[@AtlantisWaterGardens]

Thanks, Aziz!

[@m.d.m.6768]

Another amazing accomplishment! 😍😍😍🙂🙂🙂

[@AtlantisWaterGardens]

Thank you!

[@ultimatefishkeeping]

Hi Jaak. How are you Sir? You and the crew have done an awesome job. That RecPond is absolutely stunningly beautiful. Like 398 is now up. I hope you are having a great Week. Take care Sir. 👍🙂❤

[@AtlantisWaterGardens]

Thanks 💪

[@bobbyscura6352]

This is exactly the set up I Love....Great job....Reminds Me of a Perfect Country Swimming Hole......Love what You do....8-)

[@AtlantisWaterGardens]

Thanks Bobby!

[@milothechihuahuabrunetandmommy]

It's so beautiful I love it

[@karamarie6781]

GORGEOUS!

[@anthonylind8871]

I wish it would fit in my backyard!

[@DarrinsDaffs]

Jaak, this is EVERYTHING I’ve ever wanted in a rec pond. So family, pet and wildlife friendly. I so look forward to a year or two when you revisit. Bring Greg along; he’ll be a kid in a candy store! One question. Can you have plantings in the skimmer bay?

[@AtlantisWaterGardens]

Thanks! Yes, you can plant on the fringes behind the rock work

[@susanelezebeth2751]

New sub from CANADA love all the channels 👍🏻❤🇨🇦❤

[@AtlantisWaterGardens]

Thanks, Susan! Welcome :)

[@lorrainefimbres7470]

It looks stunning!

[@raphaelalexanderplasabas6306]

atlast I've been waiting for the final part

[@AtlantisWaterGardens]

Patience is key 😉

[@janinew233]

Just stunning. I absolutely love it as always 😍 well done everyone involved 👏 👍

[@Tony-InLosAngeles]

Jaak what a rec-pond that truly looks like it was there originally had it not been for the pumps. Really love how you did the beach and slided it into stairs the rest of the way very clever! You really need to come back after it’s landscape and matured. The Atlantis Water Gardens 🧜🏻‍♂️ Team 🥇

[@AtlantisWaterGardens]

Thanks as always, Tony! 💪

[@yourjunkguys5384]

Dude that patio next to the pond is sick. Love the pond shape too. It's so non traditional.

[@AtlantisWaterGardens]

Thank you!

[@djswaterscapesandlandscaping]

Stunning 😍

[@bobbyknox9258]

Absolutely incredible 👏

[@rednas7772]

art its just art....i wished you guys where in the netherlands.

[@hughmartinmcalary7702]

Awesome. Everything has quality written all over it. 👌 I love your job 😆

[@kevinthomson7963]

I love it!!!

[@lindaleslie5634]

Another amazing creation! I know this family is going to enjoy it for a very long time!

[@AtlantisWaterGardens]

Thank you, Linda

[@debdecassia1495]

Another great pond !!! Just when I think I've seen the best one, you guys surprise me.😀

[@AtlantisWaterGardens]

Lol thanks Deb!

[@Les-OZZYTHEOSCAR]

Stunning work. I have to say though, if it was mine the kids would have it for one summer ,and then it's mine and Koi are going in that " bad boy " 😃. Amazing job guys !

[@AtlantisWaterGardens]

Lol, hold off until the kids are grown 😉

[@Les-OZZYTHEOSCAR]

@@AtlantisWaterGardens 🤣 that might be too hard

[@AtlantisWaterGardens]

🤣

[@jclyde9523]

Amazing, love the water fall, as usual spectacular, look forward to the next project.

[@AtlantisWaterGardens]

💪

[@aliciariley_barefootgardener]

Beauty job! I need one

[@thisisger]

yes we have been asking about plumbing for ages, 89% of the viewers want to see the plumbing on every project haha !!

[@AtlantisWaterGardens]

Really? You guys don’t think plumbing is boring??!! 😜

[@ak2671]

Awesome job guys👏

[@derrickmccalla571]

Jack you are always on point, up mi boss

[@mahonrijaussi2925]

Love it awesome job brothers

[@justinabar3969]

First off, amazing work to all of the team at Atlantis Water Gardens. I have a plumbing question tho! On a small pond you connect your buried line into the back of a biofalls, but how do you run the plumbing for the wetland on a larger project like this? I don't think I've seen that on any of the builds yet. Hats off to you guys.

[@relentless1]

Great work as always!

[@jb-2714]

Thats is one awesome rec pond. That family will have many wonderful memories. Awesome job, guys!

[@everymickle1278]

Jaak, This is awesome! This is definitely the one that we would like to mimic. We'll stay in touch.

[@bradparker649]

Amazing

[@catherineengle4196]

Wow that really turned out so beautiful. I really love how interactive it is and my God who wouldn't want something so gorgeous like this in their yard. Outstanding job y'all 👏 👏👏👏👏👏 God bless 😊 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊

[@AtlantisWaterGardens]

Thanks, Catherine 😁

[@JennyLee57]

That is a huge undertaking, and turned out magnificent! Love, love, love it! Great work guys!!! And all that rain...just keep breathing in all those negative ions! 😁

[@AtlantisWaterGardens]

Always rain! Haha

[@jamesspaulding2252]

You guys killed it I love the way it looks and I like how you give information about pumps and the Wetland filter and the amount of tons of Boulders you guys used did you ever get to go swimming and how much would something like that cost

[@AtlantisWaterGardens]

Thanks James! We didn’t have time left to swim but we’ll be back! A project like this is about 200

[@chiccenhawkc]

💯💙🔥👍

[@thisisger]

next time show us how to maintain water level in a pond, tips n tricks

[@AtlantisWaterGardens]

Laser Level 👍👍

[@joannharju7578]

❤️😘

[@brianparker460]

Jaak, Can you leave that system running all-year-round or do you need to cover up the pumps with some kind of building???

[@AtlantisWaterGardens]

Yea, most folks leave theirs running year-round. It really depends on what part of the country you're in. If it gets really cold, you'll want to add aeration to keep ice from forming.

[@glennmikes1726]

Can you have your check valve closer to the pump? If the check valves fails will you have to dig it up?

[@kristycannon7923]

Still learning here, lol! So can you put koi in a rec-pond or is it strictly for use as a pool? Another beautiful job! ❤❤❤

[@AtlantisWaterGardens]

Yes you can!

[@caryfriar2504]

Jaak, I LOVE LOVE LOVE this rec pond! But I have a question,what is the black rectangle in the bottom of your intake bay? Is that another layer of filtration?

[@AtlantisWaterGardens]

Correct! More filtration.

[@jamesbarlow6243]

Love the pond, and all the projects for that matter! A true artist! Do the pumps have to continuously run to keep the systems ready to go? I imagine they have to be run periodical to keep the system clean and functional? Like a pool cycles daily?

[@AtlantisWaterGardens]

The wetland pump runs 24/7

[@TheBarefootedGardener]

Probably could’ve used the excess rainwater to prime the pumps with another pump? Did you end up swimming? Looks phenomenal, of course!

[@AtlantisWaterGardens]

We ran out of time, of course!

[@tazmankb26]

What do you use to pack the joints on the blue flagstone? Basalt dust? Amazing project.

[@master1709]

Very nice project! Would it be possible to design this kind for Beach as wetland Filter or needs the wetland filter always be at the Start of waterfalls/River?

[@AtlantisWaterGardens]

That’s totally doable

[@veej3961]

What a work of art but I'm curious about 1 thing. I noticed that the aquablocks are visible in the intake bay unlike other water features on your channel. Was there a reason they weren't fully disguised?

[@ChrisShortyAllen]

That's a filter mat.

[@Sperious]

Is the wetland filter the only filtration going on in a pond like this, or are there some sort of more traditional mechanical filters somewhere?

[@AtlantisWaterGardens]

The intake bay skimmer and wetland filter along with circulation jets and aeration

[@richyjames1378]

With them pumps i thought there would be more water than that flowing

[@AtlantisWaterGardens]

Don’t forget about the jets they are powering also

[@funtyes1970]

wonder if you can run pond in winter to, i would think probably not right?

[@AtlantisWaterGardens]

You can, you just have to make sure you have the right equipment.

[@JohnyLatelyCome]

What aquatic plant do you recommend for northern climates like Michigan?

[@AtlantisWaterGardens]

Hey Eugene, Water Lilies, Hyacinth, Hornwort, Horsetail and Water Soldier are a few that usually do well in colder regions.

[@brianparker460]

Jaak, that pond Looks like it's going to overfill soon, do you have a low edge drain on it??? Do you have to use another pump to pump the water out? Certain times of the year my pond will get too much water in it I have a valve on the side of the Iowa falls to let it out, but I would like to use something different I have to go out in the rain to open it?? And I don't have a skimmer I have an intake bay. And my Backyards pretty flat!!!😢

[@AtlantisWaterGardens]

The skimmer should have overflow detection.

[@karamarie6781]

If one had a budget of, say, $50,000, is something like this do-able?

[@AtlantisWaterGardens]

As a DIY, it would be close if you were providing all the labor. Probably a bit higher than that though

[@Whips_World]

Did you get to take a swim? 😜

[@AtlantisWaterGardens]

Of course not, we don’t get to have fun around here 😜

[@Whips_World]

@@AtlantisWaterGardens I'd have stern words with the owner 🤣

[@nicolelcastro7063]

What size liner did you use and thickness ??

[@AtlantisWaterGardens]

We use 45 mil EPDM pond liner.

[@nicolelcastro7063]

Wow! Thanks for the quick response!! My second question …we are thinking instead of natural to use chemicals to keep some of wildlife like rattlesnakes out of pool…have you done ponds with chemicals?

[@abhi7338]

These external pumps are 1phase or 3 phase? Is it running on solar or electricity ?

[@AtlantisWaterGardens]

1 phase electric

[@JFresh104]

How much

[@AtlantisWaterGardens]

$185

[@studiosixfifteen]

Would a 150k get me this exact setup in saint Charles IL, if so please reply i'l reach out to you asap.
