On June 1st, 2024 my husband and I made the decision to turn off our pool equipment in order to create a pond. The pool is about 30 yrs old, our children and grandchildren don’t live close by so the pool gets very little use. We’re located in N E Florida and winters do get too cold to swim so the pool just sits there using electricity and chemicals and quite frankly it’s boring to look at. We’ve been monitoring the chlorine levels daily and adding well water daily. In this heat it evaporates quickly. I have some marginal pond plants from a friend’s pool and some floating plants. we’re going to build a bog filter and have a lot of plants.
My Question is has anyone else in this group done this? if so, what suggestions do you have? What would you do differently now?
We are keeping the existing pool equipment in place in case someone in the future wants to convert back to a pool and so if necessary we can run it.
