The Coolest SWIM POND we have Built! Crystal Clear Water with Low Maintenance

This swim pond was built about 2 years ago with wetland filtration and a custom intake bay for keeping the water crystal clear. It took us about 3 1/2 weeks to construct with over 48 tons of Oklahoma Moss Boulders and 26 tons of gravel. With 2 variable speed pumps circulating the water is truly the heart of this swim pond.

Looks Great!

[@snayper7446]

Looks real good! Do you have instructions on how to make one as well as what filtration equipment you use?

[@FncPonds]

Aquascape has a lot of videos you can do some research on

[@serendipity4365]

That pond is hard to resist. Good job💯💯👍

[@FncPonds]

Thanks 👍

[@myronplatte8354]

this is awesome

[@giftgiver1276]

I have built one very similar in my back yard with bogs. Though my water is crystal clear, My question is how to you keep the algae from growing on the gravel?

[@FncPonds]

Gift Giver it’s part of a ecosystem pond. It just happens. You can look into a copper iogen that will help control string algae just keep it at low levels.

[@avalon5957]

Aquatic plants can help a lot too, as they use up all the nutrients that causes algae. Mosses, like Java moss and other plants as well as some types of fish, that eats the algae, like plecos and such.

[@738rh]

You need to have more surface area for bacteria, more plants and possibly some shade

[@ringomaister]

That pond looks amazing. Is there any electrical shock risk swim on a pond, since there are water pumps running 24/7?

[@FncPonds]

ringomaister no risk of shock we are running inline pumps so no electrical power in pond.

[@xx3astmanxx928]

No more than a standard chemical pool. Everything would still need to be water/weatherproofed before filling anyway

[@thawornlorga1972]

Amazing. I have the same question. And thanks for the answer.

[@anthonymartin9672]

Looks really nice, I couldn't hear for some reason though.

[@southernsharps]

Any idea what the dimensions of this pond are? Di you cut the more shallow shelf out. or did build the shallow area with boulders and gravel? Awesome work!

[@schneelutz]

Are you using aquablocks from aquascape, anything similar or just gravel for the Wetland filtration?

[@FncPonds]

Jamal Snow we have a intake bay and Aquascape wetland up top of waterfall

[@schneelutz]

@@FncPonds aquablocks yes or no?

[@FncPonds]

Jamal Snow inside the wetland and intake yes

[@schneelutz]

@@FncPonds thank you, i am trying to get a cheaper solution. The aquablocks are not available for a reasonable price here in Germany.

[@ovidiulupascu]

@@schneelutz I was looking for the same solution. Beer crates will do just fine. They could certainly support the weight. These guys just reinvented the wheel,but that wheel is too expensive.Do you have any idea how big should the filter be relative to the size of pool?And how many time the water should pass through the filter in a day?

[@elizabethr2908]

Beautiful! What are the dimensions of this swim pond? ❤️

[@FncPonds]

This pond was 35’ x 40’ x 5’ deep

[@dany8719lol]

I just want to jump in that water

[@paulien7779]

in that heat there must be a lot of evaporation so my question is how often would you need to add water and would you use city water? This is a beautiful inspiration for me but I live in a zone 2 - 3 and would probably not be able to create this here...

[@FncPonds]

In Texas you loose about 2-3 inches a week when it’s real hot!

[@BiopoolsUA]

Wow. Very cool. Good job!

[@adamrobertson1076]

Can't hear anything but pond looks good. I'd like to know how to clear my 8 acre pond up.

[@FncPonds]

Wetland filtration is the best at clearing up green water. Flocculant is best for muddy water

[@vlaskamagija4544]

WOW WOW WOW HOW THE HELL YOU BUILT THIS? WHERE DID YOU LEARN TO DO IT? PLEASE SHARE

[@pamelamayfield7496]

What does one run ?

[@vivi-uz7qq]

Do you have instructions on how to build it?

[@Joedirt5]

Instead of using a plastic liner, what else can you do to hold water but using something mores natural and organic

[@esterbmoore]

Hey the answer is Bentonite Clay. Its an all natural clay that expands when wet to fill space then dries rock hard. Its used to seal ponds and pools to stop them from leaking... so why not use it in the 1st place? Our org @AbundantEarthGlobalCDC we want to build beyond netzero homes with natural swimming ponds instead of traditional pools. We will be posting our fabulous "Power House" design this week.

[@FncPonds]

Liner is the best bet! If you use clay you will never get good clarity

[@OiculoveYah2]

I live in Alabama which I'm well aware how far away yall are. I want to do something similar in my back yard. If y'all ever want to branch out or anyone closer to me you know of let me know.

[@FncPonds]

Love to help out!

[@josephtastic]

really well done Approx cost?

[@FncPonds]

Above a $100k on this one

[@somsongcharoenpon168]

Nice

[@FncPonds]

Thank you

[@DMTXXDMT]

If only the audio was as clear as that water

[@FncPonds]

Ha, pond builder here no video pro at all

[@somsongcharoenpon168]

WOW

[@FncPonds]

Thanks

Come my lady, come, come my lady

[@harrimanboy99]

What is the dimensions of the pond

[@felicedoucette2895]

How deep is it?

[@FncPonds]

5’ deep

[@felicedoucette2895]

@@FncPonds Thanks. What keeps the gravel in place on the bottom? If someone touches the bottom do you have to keep spreading it out? Does it have concrete or block walls? I'm hoping to avoid using them. I LOVE this pool!

[@nukettunakeles6065]

too small :( I want biggers

[@FncPonds]

Working on a big one next month
