It is easier to pump air into the water . than it is to pump water into the air !     Water movement is what is important. A cage of the floor scubber filter material around the bubbler acts as a bio -filter also . Using a plan of pre placed piping and increasing numbers of the decribed filter boxes you can produce a nice clear pond , the discharge water flowing thru gravtiy feed pool heaters ( link here ) then returning into the swimming area under ground dischargers to warm the soil and the warmth rises thru the swimming area .

CONSIDER EVENTUALLY HAVING 8 OF THE TUBS FILTERS AND 8 AIR FILTERS GOING FOR A 100 X 100 4 FOOT DEEP POND   

AS THE GUY IN THE VIDEO SAY ... YOU HAVE SEEN A BACKHOE DIG BEFORE , so this is about what else that little $2,000 dollar machine can do , remember this is his first time using it , so sped only gets better with practise click the $2000 link for more info and digging video
NEW INFO AND PRICING NOV.09 YOU MAYBE ABLE TO GET THE POND DUG 100X100 FOR LIKE 2 GRAND AND 1 MORE TO HAVE THE DIRT MOVED TO HOMESITE PADS AND MOUNDED OUT SIDE OF THE 4 CORNERS AND BUYING A MACHINE FOR DIY FOR $3,00O MAYBE THE WROST WASTE OF TIME AND $$ , YOU NEED TO SHOP LOCAL PRICING

 The Problem... A great need for oxygen exists at the bottom of a eutrophic (nutrient rich) pond or lake. Oxygen is absorbed at the surface but fails to reach the pond or lake bottom due to thermal stratification and poor circulation. During the summer months when the water is warm, oxygen can be consumed faster than it can be replenished, adding stress to aquatic life.

Without oxygen, a lake or pond's self-purification capability is not only reduced, it's reversed. Nutrients that would normally be unavailable or "locked" in the sediment are recycled into the water column. These excess nutrients are just as harmful to the waterbody as those which come from the surrounding watershed. Fertilizers, animal droppings, septic tank seepage, all increase a pond or lake's need for AIR and WATER MOVEMENT .

Save Money with the

ESS-13 “Spray-On Formulation”

The ESS-13 “Spray-On Formulation” can literally save

75% or more off the installation costs of other lake

sealing methods. Using our specialized formulation of

ESS-13, it is simply sprayed onto a properly prepared

subgrade and allowed to dry. The resulting layer is so

strong and durable that a loaded scraper can drive

across the surface with no resulting damage. The

only equipment necessary for the installation is a

water truck, so it can be installed for just pennies per

square yard.

a SWIMING POOL is about 30 foot by 60 foot and you would be proud to own that !
So designing a swimming/fishing pond that flows with the nature of your land scape , planing it with the idea that placing certaind trees and hedges around the pond will give the ILLUSION that your lake goes on for ever off into the woods ... the idea is not to be able to see the whoe BANK the circumferance of the pond in 1 eye's view . the view of the pond is broken up by trees and plants . YOU ACHIEVE a illusion .
you want to create a beach ares ...that is 30 foot by 60 foot , mainly shallow water about 0 to 3 foot this is the KIDS AREA ... this bottom is trucked in SAND contained with rifge under water or concrete filled sand bags . This sand can be vaccumed like a pool is to maintain it Clean ABOUT TWICE A YEAR , USING A DIRTY WATER PUMP ( link to nothern tool pumps )  the water ,sand and leaves etc go thru a strainer the sand returns to the BEACh area yet the NITOGEN RICH  leaves etc get strained out
this same pump you use to like MOW THE LAWN twice a year .. but this time you are vacuuming up the nitrogen rich debri that naturally flows into your lake. BUT you only do this twice a year .
THIS ALONG  with proper water movement will leave your pond clear like an aquarium , YOU CONTROL THE  nutrients flow for the fish populations you want . REMEMBER THIS IS FOR RECREATIONAL USE ...NOT FOR ..PROFIT .
Wit a smaller fish population density you can easly maintain water wuailtiy to make this like a very very very CLEAN natural spring! Swimming hole and have a private fishing hole that you can even enjoy seeing the fish that are biting your bait . GREAT EXCITEMENT.
Balence the ECO-System , with prey speicies like shiners and bluegill , make sure their are populations of bottome feeders like catfish and CRAYFISH  ( your own fresh water lobster supply ) abd then Sport fish like LARGE MOUTH BASS , Hyrid Strippers and crappie.

SOLAR_HEATER_JPEG.jpg

Solar Water heating for swimming and wintering
Click the Foto above to get a better description on how to build this heater .... running a layering of 1 inch CPVC thru the box and depending of CONVENTION princlples for water movement ,,,, then connecting to funny pipe system under the floor of your pond ... one circuit for swiming area heating ... another for general winterizing .  
Thsi will enhance your pond ownership experince greatly increasing the season of swiming use . Plus enhancing the growth of food fish during the winter seasons.
