What info is covered in the eBook? Though our eBook focuses on the Essential construction style -- our most economical (and most diy-able) style of NSP, which use a multi-section underwater wooden wall -- many of the concepts covered, like the bio-filter details, are universal and could be applied to more custom NSP projects as well. The Essential style of pond is very flexible and customizable and can be made anywhere from 28FT to 50FT+ overall. In addition to the underwater wall construction, the eBook also illustrates how to size the bio-filter, plumb the system (including the biological filter, pumps and other equipment), excavate the pond, install the liner, add a pebble beach and/or pier and so much more!

The Essential NSP Plans (PLUS How-to Ebook)

These construction plans are the essential guide to creating our most basic, most affordable Natural Swimming Pool/Pond (NSP), now scalable in 8 different sizes and shapes! You get the Essential NSP Plans and a copy of our how-to eBook, Natural Swimming Pools & Ponds: THE TOTAL GUIDE, 3rd Edition all for one bundled price! In the plan pages you will find detailed, scaled drawings of the NSP and all of its major components, including the biological filtration system (made from off-the-shelf materials), plan & section views of the NSP, wooden jumping pier, simple wooden ladder, underwater bio-filter retaining walls and optional waterfall/edge geology.
