most of us filter and recycle the water thru the pond, usually with some kind of
fountain or waterfall. filters are essential if there are fish. filters can be
mechanical or veggie filters where wastes flow thru growing plants which remove
wastes. Ingrid

My husband and I dug a pond this weekend it's about 20ft x 15ft and
around 4 to 5 ft deep. We put a liner in and now we are not sure what
to do about to water supply. Do you have to have a constent flow of
freshwater to prevent it from becoming stagnent. I don't think there
is a spring around the pond because when we dug no water rushed out of
the ground. So does that mean we need to get a filter system to
circulate the water? Please help we don't know what needs to be done.
Thanks ssalapek
