Your regeneration zone will need some time to build its supply of bacteria and microbes in order to properly filter your pool. This can range from a couple weeks to a month or so depending on your climate and how warm it is. Take a look at your pool, is it cloudy? Once a pool has begun its natural filtration processes, it should begin to clear up some.
To be absolutely sure about whether or not your natural pond is ready, consider professionally testing the water to see if it needs any bacterial or mineral adjustments.
