    Dirty pond (pool)

    We are on a well. I have water lines plumbed around it so accessing water for filling or otherwise is no problem. Our property is bordered by a dry creek. When we have drained it in the past, I just pump it and use the water to water my trees and vines. Then scoop the algae sludge and mix it...

    Dirty pond (pool)

    It is a combined use. It’s our property but it is in an area we rent for vacation stays and for weddings/parties. We manicured/shapes the area then lined it with 40mil vinyl. There is no sand or clay in the water feature, just the leaves and dirt it collects...

We consulted with a few “pool guys” and it seemed more like they just wanted us to buy multiple chemicals to dump in and more chemicals to balance the other chemicals and a lot of money to do it...

    Dirty pond (pool)

    Hi. We are prepared to spend a little money to make it manageable but hoping it doesn’t turn into a rabbit hole/money pit. We wanted it to look like a pond/swimming hole and we wanted it to be in a specific shape. I think we succeeded in doing that, especially with all the algae that comes...

    Dirty pond (pool)

    Hello everyone! We have a pond on our farm that we basically use as a pool. It is lined with a 30 mil vinyl liner. However, we got the cart in front of the horse and did not install any sort of filter, pump, vacuum, or circulation system. We now realize that was a mistake. We have algae...
