"Natural" pool can't keep up

[Aqua Lab Rat]

I'm not sure where (or if) this belongs in the forum. I still haven't seen this place in person despite driving through North Minneapolis a couple of times per week during the summer.

I know someone that has a natural pool. I would just call it a small pond. It’s s great concept and with proper aquatic life from what I’ve read can work. The problems they can have as you see can be challenging.

To be a public size pool maybe not such a good idea.

Well, at least they described it properly, it's more of a lake than a pool.

Chem Geek looked at it back in 2012 Natural Swimming Pools (NSPs))

I have a small (3 acres) pond. After having a Trouble Free Pool for 9 years, I won't deliberately go in the pond. I did do an accidental face plant once and my boots were white for three weeks. Not sure what was on them, but a lot of run off from the neighbor's field. TFP way for me!
