Hello Guys,

Have an established pond which is approx 1ha with 2/3s of the pond at around 8.5 feed deep.

I am aerating the pond with a 140L/min air pump running through 4 diffusers at the deeper parts of the pond. The far end just slowly gets shallower and shallower near the end as per the lilys.

The main direction of the wind is over the pond wall down towards the bottom left of the photo and turns the pond over from the deep end to the shallow end often.

Over the next year I am going to be putting a 7m wharf out into the deeper part and would really like to turn it into a swimming pond.

Questions really are is it possible to clean a pond via aeration to achieve a swimming pond and what other steps should be taken to help speed up this process?

I have added a photos to show the location of the aeration sites etc.
