Recreational, Ponds
Our Recreational Pond is designed just like our natural ecosystem ponds that works with mother nature to provide crystal clear water, utilising an Aquascape Wetland Filtration System. A wetland works just like a biological filter by creating an area in your pond, thick with naturally-filtering plants in addition to rocks and gravel, which provide a surface for beneficial bacterial colonisation. This means that a wetland, while naturally beautiful and pleasing to the eye, is a great filtration method that will help keep your water looking crystal clear.
Having experienced wild swimming and also swimming in recreational ponds I can say that that your skin feels fresh and smooth once you get out, with no need to shower like you do when leaving a chlorinated swimming
pool.
Recreational or rec ponds don’t have to be for swimming, creating large beach areas out of sand can be perfect areas to allow that holiday feeling while paddling in your pond during the summer months. While still allowing great access for dogs, and wildlife to get in and out of the pond.
There are many benefits of a recreation pond:
Fresh water that is absolutely chlorine-free
Year-round enjoyment
Low maintenance, low running costs
Supports local wildlife
A private snorkelling aquarium
A perennial aquatic garden
