NATURAL POOLS For HORSES - No Chlorine - Aquascape SWIM POND Biological Filtration

3 жыл бұрын

This video is all about natural swimming pools aka recreation ponds - BUT FOR HORSES!
This was a very challenging job, we had to impress the homeowners and the HORSES with this "natural swimming pool" or now called "recreation pond".
We took measures to "horse-proof" the liner and the pond so that this pond can be enjoyed by the horses. If you watch until the end you can see Boomer is very pleased with the outcome and we are very excited to see this pond evolve into a mature ecosystem this coming year.
Not all of the plants have grown in just yet and the beneficial bacteria is still establishing itself in the wetland filter and throughout the pond. It's going through a balancing stage as we speak and will be thriving by the summer and fall.
These are a great alternative to traditional chlorinated pools or salt water pools. In our natural pools, we use a biological filtration system paired with a skimmer but on a much larger scale. This is called a Wetland Filter and an Intake Bay when building a larger ecosystem. We use the Aquascape Inc. method and equipment to build all of our water features.
In addition to the biological filtration system, we added U.V. (ultraviolet) light sterilizers, an automatic dosing system (for water treatments & natural beneficial bacteria) and a IonGen G2 filtration add-on. These boost the filtration and clarity of the water so swimming in a natural pool feels refreshing and clean.

My idea of all natural pond is no pumps and no filters, which allow for water plants and algae to clean the water just like a wild pond in nature. The reason your blog title caught my eye, I'm building a natural fish pond with no pump and no filter. I will have floating water plants and allow the algae to feed the fish. Where I'm located in Hawaii, we get lots of rain, so the pond will receive constant fresh water influx. Also I'm building the bottom of pond with a slope to a low spot. This will allow me to scoop net fish poop from one location. My pond will be 45'x20'. I'm excited. Great job 🤙

This is what I want for my family. ❤ Please - How much did this job cost? (I realize that it varies some, based on state, location, etc.) Also, if you're going to add fish, isn't it a good idea (or necessary), to add water purifying plants to help balance the ecosystem, feed the fish, *give them shade and shelter, and help with filtration? I know that fish dirty up a pond with their waste, and it's a matter of time before raccoons, skunks, deer, etc., visit your pond to hunt the fish (and deficate), Lastly, do people with ponds end up with mice or rat problems? Thanks very much! ☺

That's the plan, we will do an update in a few months to show the wetland maturing. But there are fish and aquatic plants. That's important for this ecosystem to mature.

These projects are incredible. Amazing job ! Quick question, how would you ever find a leak in the liner if it was ever punctured by the horses?

@CaliforniaWaterscapes 3 жыл бұрын

Thanks Joe! We took extra precautions to ensure the liner is protected from the horses and added additional layers of cobble stones. So this shouldn't happen and the horses have been enjoying the pond without issues for the past 6 months or so... But for any pond/pool leak, there is a specific procedure to find a leak, look in high traffic areas and let the water level drop without filling up the pond until it reaches the leak, look around the perimeter at that level, you would find it there. :) Hope that helps.

Ponds are closed systems that don’t waste water. Ponds evaporate 0.25"-1" of water a week, in contrast with a lawn / landscaping can use 2"-4" a week easily. They require water only to replace what’s lost by evaporation. In general, ponds use about 50% less water than lawns and other gardens. All water added to the aquatic system stays there. It doesn’t become runoff, carrying fertilizers and pesticides into the sewer systems, groundwater or waterways.

Or is it wrong that the Farmers have problems because of a drought?

Yep good for the horses, environment, water conservation and the farmers… the client is a farmer actually that recently purchased the property. This area was an existing irrigation channel, that the city would randomly turns on, filling the channel to water crops.. if you watched the beginning of my vlog you’d see that we had to dig down to sandy soil in order to have a solid base to lay a new rubber liner down. Now, with the liner installed we are conserving ALL of his water allowing more water to flow down channel for his and neighboring crop irrigation. We’re now conserving hundreds of thousands of gallons of water with this pond.💦👍🏻🌿

@Nina Jager California’s water situation has more to do with the failed policies of politicians than rainfall shortages or ponds. I suggest you research how former Gov. Jerry Brown wasted billions of dollars on a train to nowhere instead of focusing on rainwater capture and storage. And how Gov. Gavin Newsom allows the continued release of trillions of gallons of fresh water into the ocean for the Delta smelt fish instead of doing what Brown failed to do. What about desalination plants? What have they done to get those built and online to provide water for humans, crops and livestock? Nothing! What is Gov. Newsom doing to secure power for residents or properly manage the forests to prevent massive wildfires? Nothing! No, Newsom is too busy playing game show host wasting millions of our tax dollars on prizes for vaccinations.YES, there IS something wrong but it’s NOT this pond for horses. It’s the pathetic governors here who can’t get their priorities straight.
