I am in the planning stages of redoing part of my backyard and intend to put in a deck, pond, and firepit. I am concerned with where I will be able to place the firepit in relation to the pond. I will probably be going with an EPDM pond liner so I was going to go with a minimum of 6' to prevent anything from melting/combusting, but I am also thinking that stray ash could cause the pH of the water to decrease and muck up the filtration.

Anyone have any thoughts, opinions, or experience to share?
 
Hello; One thought came to mind. You may want the fire pit to be down hill from the pond so that rain runoff will not carry stuff from it into the pond?
