Thank you for the video. Sorry to comment a lot. It seems in cold climates the weather kills the plants. The plant mass rots leading to dead plant matter in the pool. As stated in this video it is unavoidable to stop external organic mass entering the pool. So even a rock only system will suffer from a built up of organic matter over time. I believe in this system nets are used to remove this algae. This helps remove the build up of nutrients. So every system needs a way to remove the constant built up of nutrient. Would the best system be some plants which can easily be pulled out roots and all? A a system which had minimum or no growing medium and only roots in contact with the water like in hydropinics. You pull out the plant you are pulling out all the minerals and nutrients and the this eliminates the much build up? I am no expert on this stuff. If you look up hydropinoics you will see roots growing directly in water with little or no medium.
I was skeptical too until I built my own. No plants needed. Very minimal maintenance and the water stays clean-fresh smelling, clear and a joy to swim in, and I live in the tropics where everything grows all year. This method really works!
You do not avoid them. But you keep them as little as possible. And this little as possible is processed by other microorganisms that live in the water before algae can get it......
Hi Rich, we get that question very often, but I assure you: You will definitely not have more mosquitos than before having a swimmteich. They will not disappear, but they will not be more than before. And you ask that question very smartly: We do not and cannot keep them from going to the water (water is never really still - the function of a swimmteich is also based on the NATURAL water circulation.....), BUT: in and around the water life develops. We have newts and we have birds (and probably other living things) that feed on mosquitos and their larvae. It's kind of fascinating to realize that it all developped into a balance! Best regards, Ines von Teichswimmer
Very interesting.
Thank you!
Thank you so much for translating this interview!! We look forward your release of the next parts.
Your are welcome. - we are happy that you like it.
Fantastic 👍
Yeah, isn't it?

@@greenmagic8391 Ok, but how do you manage unavoidable nutrients imputs from the wild then?

What about mosquitos? How do you keep them from going to the still water without chemicals?
