Overview

Recreation swim ponds, also called natural swim ponds are environmentally friendly chemical free ecosystems. They rely on natural filtration and other biofilters to keep the water healthy and crystal clear all year round. They utilize flowers, plants and natural stone to create a backyard oasis unlike traditional swimming pools that are surrounded by basic concrete. Recreation Swim ponds bring nature to your backyard.

Are Rec ponds a lot of maintenance?

Rec ponds, if properly installed and maintained, are virtually maintenance free and do not require any of the daily cleanings or chlorine additives that traditional pools require. Pond liners are a super thick 45mil liner with an industry standard 25 year replacement estimate unlike pool liners that average 27mil and have to be replaced every 5-7 years.

Costs?

Rec ponds have a huge yearly cost savings compared to pools. They have special direct drive pumps that require less power to run than traditional pool pumps. And not having to add in all the chlorine and other chemicals all year long, just means more money in your pocket.

Use?
