The liner for my 1 acre pond cost like $20K in 2014. Wouldn't want to re-do the project this day and age...

Eric, Are you going to have fish, waterfall or any other features such as fountains, spitters etc.?
If you’re not going to have fish then you definitely don’t need to exchange all of the water every hour.
If you’re planning on fish especially Koi or Goldfish then you’re going to want the every hour exchange along with some sort of filter system. I’ve kept fish without any filter but you have to keep the amount of fish to a minimum.

Sounds like a great project. I'm glad now that I connected to the creek ifor our ponds nstead of using a liner. We didn't realize it at the time, but local moose, elkm and bears would have just poked holes in any soft liner we could afford. But they are all fun to watch.
If you put in some fish, you will also get to see how many critters like a fish dinner. Mink, great blue herons, otters and kingfishers can clean out a shallow pond in a morning.
