Although its one of the latest trends in backyard swim spaces, recreation ponds have been around for 30+ years. We have installed multiple swim ponds in the lower mainland, and it is one of the most popular inquiries we get. Recreation ponds are biologically filtered using a up flow wetland filter, aeration jets, intake bay and beneficial bacterial treatments. This combination gives us exceptionally clear and health water.
- Swimming in healthy clear water with no harsh chemicals
- Year-round enjoyment! Why stare at a concrete rectangle for 6+ months of the year when you can enjoy the sights and sounds of a swim pond even when its not swim season?
- Perfect for kids! Play in the waterfalls, snorkel with koi fish explore outdoors!
- Aquatic life such as fish, plants, birds etc.
- Lighting for evening swims or simply great views from in the home
