Recreational ponds
Work with nature and create habitat with an Recreation pond in your garden.
A recreational pond built by us is a fully living ecosystem water garden to be enjoyed all year with very low maintenance and no chemicals. The Aquascape system using biological filtration is the perfect solution for sparkling, clean and clear, living water creating healthy habitat for wildlife and you!
Our own recreational pond here onsite at Bells Water Gardens is one of the many ponds we have on display to show what can be achieved in your own garden.
The necessary components required for installation of an entry level 5m x 7m recreational pond are included in our display, including: heavy duty underlay, EPDM pond liner, wetland filtration system, pumps, jets, aeration and underwater lighting.
The Aquascape Wetland Biological Filter as shown in diagram below illustrates how crystal clear water is achieved in large bodies of water. Using this system in symbiosis with plants, oxygen and flow the nutrient load in the water is removed and returned to the pond via a waterfall.
Why choose a recreational pond?
Ecological.
Our ecosystem ponds creates a natural ecological balance in water. The pond is as it is in nature’s streams and waterways, kept healthy by providing a home for beneficial bacteria to survive with the surface value of natural rock, oxygen and filtration from constant flow and aquatic plant life. No nasty chemicals.
Low maintenance.
Maintenance is minimal in an ecosystem pond, providing optimal enjoyment with little work required to keep your water feature looking its sparkling best with a thriving population of aquatic and plant life. Gone are the days of high maintenance, unreliable filtration, regular cleaning and harmful chemical additives to kill algae.
Peaceful.
Provide a retreat in your own backyard, provide habitat for wildlife and interact with nature, swimming and snorkelling. Somewhere to find peace and escape from our busy lives. The new ecosystem pond owner finds themselves appreciating their time spent around their water garden much more than they anticipated.
