Your neighbors kids ever ask you if they can swim in your pool?

It looks great.

how do you make the water safe for the fish? frequent water changes? Do you have a filter?

That is awesome ! Wish I could have something like that but the Homeowners Association says no dice. Insurance liability. Yeah right.

Nope. The water becomes natural when kept outdoors with the wind blowing over the surface and the pond plants in it. I've never used a filter system in all of my outdoor tubs, tanks and pool. Nature will take care of it all. I only add water when too much water evaporates. That's all. I'm doing this outdoor fish keeping ever since the mid 1980's. You really don't need that much to keep those fish healthy outdoors. We're mostly "too careful" with those fish... Most fish can tolerate much more than we think...
Just once in a while I use a net to skim dirt or leaves from the surface. That's all...

Well, that's a shame... Maybe you need to do this in a sneaky way... And don't tell them...

Actually , I do have something sneaky in mind.
