    I loved my little pond and the natural habitat I had going on about 10 years ago. Also miss my fish aquarium hobby. but in July when I was sitting in the 100° heat I'd be jealous of my neighbors who were cooling off in their above ground swimming pool. I didn't really know you could have both until about 6 months ago. I have seen people connect a chemical area with a natural area and make it look like they are the same pond. I have a new spot on the side of a small mountain that would be perfect for a natural pond/pool. Plenty of big rocks already on the property and gravity for the waterfalls. Besides some tough digging and long term excavation rentals it'll be a fun rewarding time. I do wonder about snakes, snakes don't bother me at all here in central illinois, i love seeing them in my yard but in the Ozarks where I'm moving cottonmouths are common. Don't want to be worrying about a midnight swim followed by an emergency drive to a hospital 40 miles away.

    You need to add depth (I know "too late for that!") but once you get 15 feet down the thermal mass of the Earth really cold the water efficiently. Barring that, you could try to retrofit misters in the pond. This will increase water evaporation so you'll need to watch your water levels, but it should cool the water several degrees. The only other affordable option is to add shade. I feel you, summer is unbearable in this heat.

    @@GregJoshuaW Thanks for the advice. Its only about 5 feet now with a liner so that would almost be a complete redo. We have two chests with ice (80 pounds a day) just slow draining it into the pond now, but the temp will not get down past 85 during the day. We even put dye in the pond because I heard that works. Looks like I will have a big project before next summer!! I'll ad some more shade today. thanks again.

    You could experiment with an idea. If you have access to land nwar your pond (and the ability to dig deep) you could make a thermal radiator. The idea is you bury water line deep in the earth and run it similar to a radiator. Some use a concentric circle layout, others do the typical up / down run. The point is to create enough surface area with the warm water running through the pipe contacting the earth near it for the Earth to absorb the heat from the pipe radiator configuration, the pump just needs to push water through it from the pond back into your falls or stream which then flows back into your pond. The deeper you go, the cooler the Earth gets. IDK, you can't redo the whole pond but this idea might save you all that ice work. I hope it works out for you, hot areas are very challenging. If it does, please report back how effective it is!
