Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between a traditional pool and an ornamental pond?

A traditional pool uses chemicals, such as chlorine, salt, or magnesium, to treat and purify the water. In contrast, an ornamental pond relies on biological and mechanical filtration to keep the water clean and clear. Ornamental ponds are designed to mimic natural ecosystems, providing a chemical-free swimming experience.

How long does it take to build an ornamental pond?

Building an ornamental pond takes an average of 5 to 12 weeks, depending on the complexity of the design, site preparation, and local conditions.

Can I heat my ornamental pond?

Yes, it’s possible to heat an ornamental pond. Heating can be achieved using a heat pump or heat exchanger, and even solar panels can be used, always with attention to the local fauna and flora.

Do I need to have fish in my pond?

In a biological, natural ornamental pond, yes. Fish play a crucial role in maintaining the ecosystem and biology of the pond, as well as in keeping the pond’s bottom in continuous motion.

How does pond maintenance work?

An ornamental pond generally requires less frequent maintenance than a traditional pool. Maintenance is focused on the sump (our filtration system) and does not require vacuuming or leaf removal from the surface, as all impurities are directed to the filtration system. A minimal monthly maintenance is recommended to ensure the quality of water, fauna, and flora.

Is there a minimum or maximum size for a pond?

No. Each of our ponds is unique and designed according to each client’s vision.
