Does anyone know if lake water compromises the structural integrity of concrete?

What happens here

First, pour a bag of high-strength concrete mix (Ak-Ret brand) into a blue wheelbarrow. Next, gradually add the previously collected water to the dry mix. Use a shovel (with a 'Frongco' brand handle) to thoroughly combine the water and concrete mix. Continue mixing until a consistent, workable concrete mixture is achieved, ensuring there are no dry pockets.

Goal: Create a workable concrete mixture

Tools and materials

  • Blue Wheelbarrow — Mixing and transporting concrete
  • Shovel Frongco — Mixing concrete
  • High-Strength Concrete Mix Ak-Ret — The primary material for setting pavers
  • Water N/A — Hydrating the dry concrete mix
