I think that if you have no rain you could use DI water, this implying a potent Inverse Osmose system. Of course, one can implement a Schwimmteich also with saltwater. In this case one should of course keep an eye on salinity, as seawatar aquarians do. Doying ICP analysis once in a while would also help.
In California, swimming pool owners need to add water weekly during the summer. There’s not a lot of rain yearly and no rain for about 5-6 months for sure. It’s over 100 degrees. Do you think that this design would survive here? Thank you
It's really hard to tell because we do not have evidence yet. I think it will work, but you would have to "refill" the swimmteich from time to time. That alays bears the risk of bringing in new nutrients which would cause turbidity. So, what we would do, we would install a rainwater cistern to refill....... And pay attention to the size of the deep zone ( the bigger the better).....
I was expecting something about optimisation of rain catchment...... Every square meters of non porous material is a potential rain collector.. Otherwish I find it very egoistic to -still- take for yourself from every other less rich peoples, this very precious *essential ressource* that is clean water, even more in summer, to let it evaporate in full sun, for the leisure of very few people...... 😅
You are right - we in Europe still have so much clean water that we do not think much about it - we kind of take it for granted!..... - Personally I think, sooner or later we all should think about collecting rainwater.
Hi, Ines, I THINK YOU HAVE TO BE PREPARED BETTER IF YOU WANT TO TAKE ABOUT THIS ISSUE. ITS VERY CONFUSING AND UNCLEAR WHAT YOU REALLY WANT TO CONVEY. TOO MUCH BLA BLA AND NOT MUCH CONTENT. TAKE CARE

Thanks for these advises, good ideas.-- I think that it's probably more easy and sustainable to collect rain water.....
Best regards, Ines

From this I would understand that 100 degrees Fahrencheit is the temperature outside. What is the actual temperature in the water?

Actually, all these non porous material are *already collecting rainwater* ... 🙃@@teichswimmer6746
