Many dream of having in their own water. And, embodying this dream, practice and romance landscape design Are the unlawful dispute: what is better - a picturesque pond or pool? The best qualities of both reservoirs combines a natural pool. It decorates the countryside and allows you to refresh it on hot days. The natural pool is clean water without chemistry, in which you can swim in which your favorite plants grow.

Green portal has repeatedly applied to the theme of garden reservoirs. Together with the readers, we even learned to do. It is much more difficult to arrange a natural swimming pool on the native six hundred weaving, more often this work is entrusted with specialists who take into account the wishes of the owners who have the area and the landscape. However, a few people know about biobassanes today, so the real article will be for readers with a liberal direction. Our editors are confident that the information will be useful and inspiring. So, let's begin…

Admire and swim

Biogeneration cannot be called a novelty and result modern technologies. Agree that in any natural pond or lake water remains clean and fresh, although no one uses chemicals to clean them.

In the last decade, natural pools became extremely popular in Europe. The purity of water in bio-models corresponds to strict Western standards, and such pools are arranged not only in country sites and in the courtyards of private houses, but also in various sanatoriums, spa centers and other public places. Bio-pools begin to appear and in Russia, but not everywhere and in small quantities.

A healthy medium with a normal humidity without evaporation of the chemicals - that's what kind of biobassain on the plot. Hot summer such a reservoir will add coolness and moisture to your garden, and you will be invited to refresh yourself. In natural pools, water does not smell the chlorine, they feel great plants and even fish.

Water purification in a natural pool

The principle of operation and cleaning of the natural pool is simple and at the same time complicated. The reservoir consists of two parts: deep and shallow. Delta of depths is usually from 2 to 0.5-0.3 m. The deep part is designed for swimming, and the auxiliary runs on water purification and performs a decorative function. As a rule, a large number of plants are planted in it. This is a zone of a water garden, which is also called the "Regeneration Zone" or "Bioplalat".

Plants are powered by an organic, falling into the pool, and thus purify water. The range of vegetation is selected specifically so that the arranged compositions "were kept in the ultrasound" harmful algae. In the biaplato zone, you can additionally settle the colony of natural microorganisms that contribute to the purification of the water branch.

The bathing area can be combined with the regeneration zone. In this case, biobassane looks like an ordinary pond with thickets and the beach. Bioplalat can be separated from the swimming part. Then biobassane will look like two independent reservoirs.

Together or separately, but two parts for one pool are a prerequisite. It is impossible less, but zones of the water garden can be as much as you want. Severally connected to each other reservoirs will become a full ecosystem. Water will flow from one to another, reviving the pool and enriching it with oxygen. A closed cycle movement provides a pump. You can make several cascades and streams so that the water is stronger than saturated with oxygen.

If the area of \u200b\u200bthe bioplaste takes about half of the entire area of \u200b\u200bthe natural basin, then the water purification will be as efficient as possible. Living inhabitants will be enough for high-quality self-cleaning of the reservoir.

It is undesirable that many trees grow around the reservoir. The fallen foliage will become not just a picturesque garbage on the surface of the water, but also a source of reproduction of unwanted algae, which can be pretty spoiled by the ecosystem of the pool.

Biobassane does not require perfectly smooth territory. Naturalness and in this case plays a leading role: the beauty of the landscape is preserved and all its advantages are used. Water flows from the reservoir in the reservoir, rich irregularity, rushing to the nearest jamb, filling it and flowing further.

What is the difference between the natural pool and the usual?

The bottom and walls of the biodemaker are made approximately as well as the ordinary pool. The form can be concrete, or install the ready-made cup of plastic. Believe me, during the bathing you will not step in a silted slicky land - comfort and pleasant feelings are primarily - and it is not necessary to slide on plastic, because for a living effect, the bottom fall asleep with sand or pebbles. Only at the shallow part will necessarily appear bottom sediments. Il need for the life of microorganisms and plants.

The movement of water provides a pump that should work continuously; We must be installed mechanical filters (about the diversity of filters for garden reservoirs, we have already written, you can read). But it will not be necessary to install the disinfection system - it is simply not needed, as plants are performed in the water garden area. If you doubt security, you can without prejudice to the ecology of your pool to establish an ultraviolet disinfection. Plants and other inhabitants of the reservoir will not hurt, but harmful bacteria and microscopic algae will destroy.

Continuous operation of the pump pumping water does not mean too large electricity costs. In the usual pool, except for pumping, much more impressive amounts go to the purchase of chemical reagents for cleaning and disinfection of water or to purchase a chlorinerator. In this case, you can save, if in summer the weather in your area is warm and clear and allows you to use solar panels.

Depending on the climatic conditions and features of the place where there is a bio-mode, additional aeration may be required. If oxygen is not enough, then most likely water in the pool will bloom.

Specially heated the water in the natural pool is not desirable. In order to function, it is necessary to be natural. This condition may not please the parents with children, so sometimes the natural pool is done with the zone for kids. The shallow frog is separated from the main part of the partition, the bottom fall asleep in small pebbles. Here the water will warm better and faster.

The bowl of any pool is done waterproof so that the soil waters do not come in the reservoir. For a natural pool, this is important because waterproofing allows you to protect and save the working ecosystem, and also gives wide opportunities decorating. In natural basins you can arrange fountains, organize waterfalls and cascades, draw backlight.

A natural pool is built not quickly. For more than a month it will be necessary on construction worksAnd another one and a half or two will need to work the work of the ecosystem. There is a lot of time, but the result is impressive!

Plants for water purification in ecobassayne

Bioplalat of the natural basin is a blooming water garden that purifies water in a natural way. However, for the shallow part, it is necessary to choose the right plants that will fulfill their tasks. Best of all, a professional will cope with the selection of decorative and cleansing composition. Limit the specific number of colors planted in the regeneration zone is impossible. In some bio-mode, the number of plants can reach up to five hundred!

There should be three levels of vegetation in the bio-tree, so it is necessary to choose coastal, deep-sea and shallow plants for the disembarkation. Think in advance what kind of moisture colors do you like. You may not imagine your reservoir without irisov, love and gentle kuvuty. Pay attention to the Major Flowers of Kaluzhnitsa. At the edges of the reservoir will look good chastukha(alisma).

Warm shallow water - a great place for prunenerHowever, it will not suffer frosty winter. This plant is better to plant in containers, and to clean away from the cold for the winter. The lush purple bushes of Derbennik will become a bright coastal accent of biobassane.

It is difficult to present with reservoirs without . Often so mistakenly called Rogoz, but it is completely different plants. Peppercut forms of the lake cantham and the canthake of Tabernemontane with air balls of colors perfectly decorated with a bioode. Dense brown inflorescence-sultans are the main domain of Rhoze. He loves to grow in shallow water. To land on small bioplalat, it is better to choose small Rogoz, Large shapes leave for lakes or large-scale natural pools.

To winter-hardy plants for the coastal zone of reservoirs belongs susak umbrella. He is unpretentious and very decorative - pink flowers Susak you can admire since May and September.

The surface of the reservoir decorate glossy leaves redest floating. The plant feels well in shallow water, it is good in standing water or slowly current. Tolerance refers to sunlight and half.

Fans caneit is worth remembering that this plant aggressive - catastrophically grow up, withstanding both severe humidity and soil dryness. Be sure to limit the growth area of \u200b\u200bthe cane.

No less beautiful and useful plants For garden reservoir, you can find in the article. Choose and try to plant! And your water garden from year to year will grow and get everything more beautiful if you should care for your reservoir and take it in winter.

Natural Pool Care

Firms offering services for the construction of Eco reservoir in your site, assure that it takes care much less than behind the ordinary pool. A natural filter is operating in the biobassay - the regeneration zone, and the mechanical filter works. The owner needs to be removed from the surface of the water fallen leaves and the other inadvertently fluttered on the garbage site.

Sometimes it will be necessary to clean the bottom, however, this procedure will have to be carried out much less often if you compare with the departure of ordinary pools with chlorinated water. And by itself, attention will require plants planted in the bioplato zone.

How to care for biobassayne in winter?

If the depth of the pond is two meters, it will give the opportunity to overfeed the most resistant plants. The delicate inhabitants of the reservoir, which were originally planted in containers, it is better to remove cold weather.

Construction I. competent organization The natural pool is expensive, but you and your loved ones get a stunningly beautiful and useful reservoir on your site. Clean water, lush vegetation and freshness in the hottest days of summer - these are the main advantages of arrangement paradise with biobassane.

We are confident that among our readers there are craftsmen who can create a natural pool independently. And, after reading the article, be sure to try to do it. Share your experience and photos with the readers of the Green Portal. We are waiting for your email letters

In this article we will talk about the simple, but necessary rules for the care of artificial reservoir in the country or the railway site. We study the peculiarities of the preparation of the pond to the cold, advice of experts on the care of water plants and residents of the reservoir. Tips are divided into seasons - spring, summer, autumn and winter.

Artificial pond in the country or panstone - It's beautiful and romantic. Such a reservoir will become a highlight of landscape design, a real decoration of a garden or a green courtyard of a private house. Sometimes a reservoir is not a whim of the owner or a tribute to fashion, and the only way out to put a swampy plot and take an excess of moisture.

Earlier in the article "Pond in the Dacha with your own hands" we told how to build an artificial reservoir on their own. However, after the end of construction, the pond, even the most tiny, also requires constant attention and regular care. This article is devoted to exactly the basic rules for the care of the reservoir in the area.

Artificial pond, even such a tiny, requires attention and care. Otherwise, water will simply bloom, and plants and fish may die

Spring

Checking the state of the pond, we help to clean the ice from ice, prepare plants for landing

Specialists advise to start spring work on an artificial reservoir in March. First, during this period, the hassle in the garden and garden is not so much and the owners have time to pay enough attention to their pond. And secondly, the sooner you will take care of the reservoir, the sooner it will begin to please the eye of a well-groomed greens and cheerful inhabitants.

First of all, it is necessary to check how your pond "survived" the winter. It should be checked how the equipment (pumps, power supply system, filters and so on) work, whether the fish have survived, which you have decided to leave in a fairly deep water branch, whether the coast strengthened by stones has fallen, whether the concrete bottom cramped, to remove the heater for storage. In general, to outline the work plan that will help the pond "come to yourself" and again, as last summer, to become a decoration of the site.

It is clear that to study the condition of the reservoir it is worth the wait until ice comes down. But in March, the layer of ice on the pond is not so durable as in winter, and you can help the reel to free yourself quickly, watering ice hot water Or carefully done several holes.

In parallel, the plants you would like to land in the spring should be prepared. You can purchase ready-made seedlings in specialty stores or on the market, which in March-April, while water and soil have not yet warmed, grow up in pots. Another option is to purchase seeds and grow seedlings yourself. Just remember that water plants need a special soil, and the soil should always be wet, so that the pots are better to put into the container with water.

As for the plants to choose, experts advise to acquire RDEST and unsubscribe, which perfectly clean the water in the pond, as well as beautiful floating aponeal and salvinia. The classics have long become pita and water lilies, Iris Sibirsky, who loves shallow water, as well as a tradescania preferring a dry shore.

Plants are definitely the main decoration of the artificial reservoir. About their landing need to take care of even early spring

Spring cleaning of the pond

The main task of the owners of the artificial reservoir immediately after the ice and the coast of the shore came down - cleaning the pond from the garbage. In the fall, the leaves fell into it, for the winter they could freeze some plants and small inhabitants, so the garbage in the spring is enough. The main problem is not to collect leaves and litter floating on the surface of the water, but that the organic residues accumulate at the bottom of the reservoir, so without serious " general cleaning»Stones on the shore, walls and bottom can not do.

For the spring cleaning, the pond should be pumped out water, leaving only a small puddle for fish, catch all living inhabitants and temporarily transplant to some container, and the bottom and walls of the reservoir are carefully cleaned with a conventional brush. A good helper will be the water vacuum cleaner, the so-called Ilosos, which will squint all the remains from the bottom. And his special nozzles will make it possible to clean the stones and all surfaces of the reservoir. The price of German production reaches 8-9 thousand rubles, but the savings and effort during water purification are very significant.

In small ponds, water should be changed in the spring completely, however, they are usually dried back on the eve of the cold. Dirty waterThe remaining after cleaning, of course, should merge or pump out the pump.

In the spring, the pond requires general cleaning in the country - it will be necessary to clean every pebble. At the time of cleaning all living inhabitants should be transferred to temporary dwellings

Transplant plants

The transplantation of plants that will be decorating the shores and the surface of the reservoir should begin after the soil dried, and the water sat down and warmed. Plants that peeped out on the street are cleared, carefully divided roots. If, for example, the marsh iris grew in a plastic pot, he next year Larger capacity may be needed, so buying a suitable container for plants should be taken in advance.

It should be remembered that, for example, the varieties of the Queen of Ponds - Water Lilies - there are many: from large, with leaves with a diameter of up to 70 centimeters, to miniature. Accordingly, it is necessary to plant different varieties at different depths. If you could not find special lattice containers for the roots of aquatic plants, you can use and ordinary plastic pots For room colors. Just do not forget to join the drain hole at the bottom.

Those plants that in transplanting this spring do not need to be contacted using special fertilizers for flora growing in conditions high humidity. Soil should also be used special - heavy and clay, with a minimum amount of organic.

By the way, thanks to constant finding in water, pita, lilies, marsh and Siberian irises, AIR, Cubia and other water plants usually fulfill the transplant and division, practically no pain.

Choosing water plants for your pond, it must be remembered that Iris Bolotnaya loves shallow water, water lilies with a scope of leaves up to 30 centimeters should be planted on a depth of 15 to 40 centimeters, and the slime grows perfectly at a depth of about 10 centimeters. In general, each plant should choose its, optimal "place of residence"

Summer

Watch the level of water

In summer, an artificial reservoir does not require weekly cleaning, the plants are already transferred, so the hassle is delivered a little. However, the evaporation of water can be a significant problem for a small pond.

During the heat, the water level drops rather quickly and almost every week should be pouring it to the required mark. Of course, it is more convenient to do this with a hose, but too powerful pressure will be the cause of worrying for fish and can damage water plants, so it is better to pour water slowly, thin-rod. Specialists advise not to top up the water directly from the crane, but to give it to stand and warm up so as not to harm the inhabitants of the pond.

In a small water branch located on open place The plot, in the summer it can evaporate to 5 centimeters of water daily. If you do not add water in a timely manner, soon your pond will turn into a regular puddle

Fight pests and garbage

High temperature and humidity are ideal conditions for the development of all kinds of pests. Insects usually believe the leaves and trunks of plants living on the shores of the reservoir. The easiest and safest way to combat such pests is to wash off their water from the hose. This option has two more advantages: harmful insects, washed into the water, will become food for fish, and the "washed" from the hose leaves the plants get rid of dust and delight fresh greens.

In addition, after feeding fish, remnants of feed should be removed and ensure that the garbage does not accumulate on the surface. If the pond is small, then it is possible to do this manually, but for a medium-sized water branch, it is already necessary to purchase a skimmer - a device that collects the top layer of water, together with floating garbage. Skimmer filters water from the sera and returns it to the pond. It is worth such a device on average from 4 to 36 thousand rubles, depending on the size, it can be the bottom, wall or floating.

Fish should not be flipped, and plants fertilize too often - it will break the biological balance in the pond and create an ideal environment for the development of pests and weeds.

An important point is if you plan to treat terrestrial plants with chemicals, make sure that the poisons do not get into the water.

You can clean the garbage from the surface of an artificial reservoir and here such a sacc. Skimmer for pools and ponds will help to get rid of the need to work

We remove weeds

Excessive growth of algae in the pond will lead to the fact that the water will turn green, and it will completely hide under the layer of "green occupiers". Particularly annoyed by the owners of artificial water bodies, nice algae and azolla (it is a water fern). Unprofitly multiplying, such plants may eventually float the whole small pond, without leaving the place for your favorite water lily.

The okay should not be launched into an artificial pond, since, due to its unpretentiousness, it is almost inexperienced. True, these small green leaves love ducks very much and the other poultry, so the owners of the poultry houses should not throw a catchy row - everything is useful in the farm.

Small and seemingly such a harmless risk able to marry all the reservoirs, without leaving a single pure water window. Regularly catching it with a saccker, it is difficult to cope with this algae, skimmers, filters, and also fish - lovers to have a snack rod, for example, karasi or carps

Fall

We remove the leaves and cut the plants

The main task of the owner of an artificial pond in the fall is not to give a large number of organic residues to get into the water and bend. Therefore, all the fallen leaves are caught regularly, and plants on the shore are cut in a timely manner - the leaves from most of them will be filled with the onset of cold and fall into the water. Crop plants follows such a level so that they do not touch the water.

Prevent falling leaves in the reservoir will help small barrier grids. The network along with the accumulated garbage can be removed when the leaffall will end.

No one argues with the fact that yellow and red leaves on the surface of the water is very beautiful. But after a couple of days, they will rush and start rotting, turning your pond into real swamp. Therefore, in the autumn, the reservoir needs no less than the paths in the garden or an open terrace

We collect winter kidneys and thermal-loving plants to save them until spring in the room

In late autumn, most aquatic plants forms the so-called winter kidneys, of which new shoots will appear in the spring. If you plan to dry the pond completely or fear that the plants in the strong cold will freeze, such kidneys should be accurately assembled, placed in a flat vessel with sand, pour water and leave in a cool but not freezing place. In February, the vessel with the kidneys should be taken to the room and give the shoots to germinate. In the spring, in the form of already grown plants, they will return to their native pond.

If the plants in the reservoir grew in pots, they can simply be put into the room, ensuring a fairly high level of humidity. Leaving water plants to winter in the pond, you should move them to the deepest part so that it is not less than half a meter to the surface. Some of the Flora representatives, for example, pita, can be transferred in autumn to the ground and cover the peat, sawdust or leaves from above to protect against frost.

At the bottom of a fairly deep reservoir, the buds formed in the fall are perfectly punishant. But if the pond is small, it will freeze completely, so plants should be raised to warm "winter apartments"

We feed the inhabitants

Fishes Before the onset of cold weather, it is necessary to "feed fat", therefore it is necessary to provide protein food in sufficient quantities. Wintering in the pond fish can only if its depth is at least 1.5, and better - 2 meters. The water temperature at the bottom should not be descended in the winter below plus 5 degrees. Otherwise, fish should also be sent to aquarium in a timely manner.

Remember that in the winter time the fish in the pond is not active and does not need it in the feeder.

The most popular inhabitants of artificial reservoirs are bright and very active koi carpets or Japanese carps, anew, bleak, Gorchak and Goldfish. It is not necessary to overcooot the pond - for a relatively large carp koi, you will need a fairly spacious reservoir area of \u200b\u200bat least 5 square metersand in the pond with a volume of only 100 liters can comfortably live no more than 10 goldfish

Winter

We merge water

As already mentioned above, in winter, the water depth to 50-100 centimeters can extinze completely. Therefore, such small ponds dried. Conveniently, if there is a drain hole in the reservoir. Otherwise, you will have to either use the pump or pump out water with a hose using the principle of reporting vessels.

So that the hose does not get fish or rubbish, which can cause a blockage, to wear a special filter to the hole better or just pull the burlap.

Dried with water can be covered with a film, boards or a dense cloth so that leaves or other trash do not fall into it.

Such a small reservoir in winter will definitely fluctuate completely, so water is worth merging on the eve of the cold

We provide fish access to oxygen

If the fish remain wintering in the pond, you will have to worry about not only about them, but also that the ice does not damage the concrete walls of the pond. The last problem is solved quite simply - in the center of the reservoir should be placed the usual board and it will take on the pressure of ice, protecting the wall.

In order to secure the fifth of the air flow, you need to take care of the presence of wormwood. Hug ice ax specialists do not recommend - shock wave can damage underwater inhabitants. It is easier and easier to put on ice a container with hot water, such as a kettle or a saucepan. So that the resulting wormwood is not freezing, you can regularly water boiling water.

Another lightweight, but more costly way to provide fisher air in winter - install electric water pump, which has a vertical drainage tube. With the help of such a tube in the pond there will be a non-freezing cleaning with constantly raging water, which will contribute to its saturation of oxygen.

In such a thin, the first ice to do wormwood will not work. But in severe frosts to provide fish oxygen, you will have to make a significantly more effort

Warm water in the pond to optimal temperature for its inhabitants

Koi carpam and gold fish that are immigrants from Southeast Asia, for comfortable existence, the temperature requires no less plus 7, and even better - 10 degrees Celsius. Provide such favorable conditions in the region where the winter is often minus 20-30 degrees without special heating is impossible.

The heating system of an artificial pond includes a heat exchange tank, which is equipped with an electric pump with a biofilter. The power of the pump and the thermal element is calculated based on the size of the water branch. Conveniently, if the system includes an automatic temperature sensor, which turns off and includes heating, not allowing to spend electricity wasted.

Heating the pond will save from the need to monitor the presence of wormwings, since the surface window will remain on the surface of the water.

The heating system of the pond - the pleasure is not cheap, however, if you want to leave exotic fish in the reservoir for winter, without it

As you can see, an artificial pond requires attention. round year. However, the rules for the care of the reservoir on the household plot are simple and easily fulfilled. If you adhere to the recommendations and rules listed in this article, the pond will delight you with beauty, and its inhabitants are excellent health.
