Natural swim ponds are designed to be low maintenance compared to traditional pools. They rely on biological filtration, which means fewer chemical treatments and less time spent on upkeep. Routine tasks include monitoring the water quality, maintaining the aquatic plants in the regeneration zone, and occasionally cleaning the pond skimmer and pumps. Our team also offers ongoing maintenance services to keep your pond in pristine condition year-round.

In warmer climates like Texas, you can enjoy your natural swim pond for a longer swimming season, but water temperatures will still vary with the seasons.
