      Pandacat 666 i think pool would be correct, wouldn’t it? A pool of water is just a small body of water, usually the product of rainfall.

And literally the design is to be similar, except I'm going for a circular design vs rectangle... Omg I love this, it almost exactly what I was looking to do... 💜💜💜💜💜

    What a beautiful swimming pond. I built one myself with biological filters in the tropics (Thailand). From all ponds I have seen so far, mine is the only one with clear water and it is running like that already for 8 years. I'm planning to put an extra basin for relaxing next to it, but need to figure out to connect it to the main pond. I was thinking of getting a sandfilter, but now I decided to go the same route. I want to have that seperate spot because I had a piece land behind my pond that was just gathering weed. And the fish I have in my pond are hungry and never stop picking on me whenever I'm in the pond. I'ld like to have one section without fish.

      Like that? 40-50k maybe (guessing). It’s the stones that really add up the cost. If you wanted a similar size but didn’t add the stone aesthetic you could certainly do for cheaper. There’s other videos on TH-cam of guys making their own for 15k, sometimes less than 10k (but they don’t look as good as this one does, this is pure art right here)

    I am doing an off-grid property. In general, are these pumps the same size as typical pool pumps to achieve sufficient water exchange, or are the pumps smaller since they run 24/7?
    I assume the wattage consumption nets out about the same since moving less water all day requires about the same work as moving a lot of water for 8-10 hours a day.
