Swim Ponds

Get in, the water’s great!

Swim Ponds or Natural Pools mimic nature and utilise plants, rocks and gravel to biologically filter your water. Water is pumped up through a wetland filter and returned to the main pond by means of a waterfall which creates oxygenation of the water.

Plants in the system take up nutrients and help deliver vital oxygen to the environment while rocks and gravel create a surface area for beneficial bacteria to colonize and break down waste nutrients.

Dive into your own freshwater aquatic ecology.

Recreation Ponds

Swim ponds are naturally filtered through the use of wetland systems, plants and beneficial bacteria. They’re your own interactive aquatic ecology that only gets better with age.

Swim ponds or natural pools are a chemical-free alternative, delivering exceptional water quality as Mother Nature intended. A refreshing dip in a swim pond can be compared to the likes of swimming in a creek or waterhole, with plants and fish all creating a natural, balanced ecosystem.

Pondside & Aquatic Plants

Aquatic plants aren’t just aesthetic, they’re a functional part of the filtration system. Tasmania has a breathtaking array of aquatic plants that thrive in our region.

Some varieties include Baby’s Tears, a dense, evergreen perennial, or of course, everyone’s favourite, water lilies. Azola in this area blooms seasonally, and while a pest in other climates, it visits us in spring and is gone by summer, leaving behind a cleaner pond than you had before.

Moss is a slow grower, but it’s a spectacular addition to any pond as it softens the edges until, under its canopy, you can’t tell where the land ends and your pond begins.

Don’t forget the aquatic edibles! While these features are horticultural, they’re also favoured by Permaculturists and double as a diversifier to your veggie patch at home.
