Howdy folks. We’ve got several ponds on our place with good fishing. We’re in east texas and build our ponds and dam out of good RED clay.
I want to build a pond specifically for swimming and fun stuff and I want to see how clear I can possibly make it.
I don’t want to spend the money on a liner.
I have all the equipment a dump truck and the experience, I’ve been building them for a long time.
I don’t care if there are fish in this pond at all, the main goal is clarity, but at the end of the day the only material we have is red clay.
I thought about building it like normal then adding copious amounts of hydrated lime and alum?
Or even trucking in crushed white rock driveway material and lining it with that.
I’m open to any ‘outside the box’ ideas. Like I said clarity and obviously swimming safety is the main goal.
Any thoughtS?
Thanks in advance
