Pool to Pond
pool-to-pond.jpgIf you have an unwanted or unused swi妹妹ing pool sitting in your backyard this could be the program for you. Why not join the more than fifty other Pool to Pond converts and go with an eco-friendly, cost-effective alternative that promotes biodiversity?
We have been assisting local residents to convert their unwanted swi妹妹ing pools into ponds since 2007 by supplying native fish, aquatic plants and technical advice for the conversion.
Benefits
A converted swi妹妹ing pool is essentially a rainwater tank without a lid
Switching off the pool pump and filter can easily save you up to $1,000 annually on your electricity bills
The conversion is reversible
A pond enhances household sustainability by reducing toxic chemical use while providing a source of water for garden irrigation
Water quality is well within government-mandated recreational standards
Mosquitoes are not a problem
Maintaining a pond is not expensive or time-consuming
You can promote biodiversity in your own backyard |
