- So this pool was left for around 8 years since it was last used!! The new customers had only moved in around 3 months ago and wanted to get it up and running again! I took some under water footage with a go pro and it looks amazing to be honest!!! But it had to go!! Check it out and let me know what you think!! @poolboyb4nners helped me on this one! Thank you for the help it was much needed!
Difficulty level- 8/10

Now if this was Florida you would have found a gator in that pool.
You may have and fish too.
And a snake
@@denavenable9297 That's true too.
Fish, snakes, frogs, all forms of insect life including the dreaded mosquito and THEN Gators or even ducks.
No doubt.
The house my wife and I bought a few years ago had an abandoned pool. Had a snapping turtle, a red ear slider, and an unknown amount of frogs and tadpoles. I rehomed the slider to my fishing pond and moved as many frogs as I could to that area as well. The snapper went to a friend's pond. We filled it in at that point.
Fascinating
Should've stayed single
I went the other way. We had a drought, so couldn't fill the pool. I added plants and within 4 days dragonflies were mating and laying eggs. Next added 12 x galaxias and 10 x tilapia (indigenous species). Haven't added anything since except occasionally a bread slice to watch the feeding frenzy - there are now a lot of fish. And it's a thriving ecosystem - no chemicals, no electricity, no effort, and it looks great. Also fun to occasionally catch some of the occupants, especially for the youngsters. The fish, dragonfly larvae and water striders ensure there are no mosquitos, and it's a really relaxing place to sit and take a nature break during the day (I work from home). If I ever sell and the new owner wants a pool? Drain it into bladders, relocate the fish (there's a dam just down the road), repaint with fibreglass, and refill from the sterilized bladders. Much nicer as a natural pond, tho'. And I can still take a dip - it's like swimming in a mountain pool...
Actually I think that letting fish out into the wild is dangerous for them. Since certain fish (Like goldfish for example) will start breeding like crazy, and over populate whatever body of water that their in. Unless you already have a plan for that, then this comment will be for nothing :))
😊
“It’s got its own ecosystem down here” 😂😂
🤣
😄😄
That's what I said
The WWF should have intervened to have it protected.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
You're probably correct in saying that it might have its own ecosystem. That is clear, not murky, meaning something in there is filtering the water.
Lots of likes but no comments
Yep
I had just noticed that, i agree
2:40 i think its those things
All the murk settled
1:13 I outright started appreciating on how beautiful nature can turn a misrble pool into a green ecosystem that i personally want to live in.
Yeah bud i dont thing u want to live in there, probably a Lot of bad bacteria and other crap in there
3:08 the dog 🤣
To be honest, for 8 years the tiles were surprisingly clean.
Ya know... the rain...
@@gyorgymatyaskeszeg2082 The rain doesn't hit the bottom of the pool.
Took the words out my mouth
@@electr0maker436 we can at times, but there normally things like tadpoles
I'm pretty sure water soaked off dirty hence the lose dirty that was settled at the bottom
If u understand what I'm trying to say
The fact that a COMPLETE ecosystem was made in that pool is mind blowing.
Yeah, even little animals lived there
@@Klaproossje ITS SOOOOO COOL THOUGH!!!!!!!
@@ukraine19918 my enthusiasm is as high as yours, but I realize that it's not very well shown in my last comment 😅
@@Klaproossje ye
Now imagine what's in our ocean where the light doesn't reach if a pool like this exists 😅
The first home I bought had a pool that looked like that. I debated whether to fill it in or repair it. Spent about 10 grand having it repaired and refurbished.
The kids loved it. Got quite a bit of equity out of that house when we sold it 12 years later.
Did you call local pool companies or something? I just bought a house, and it has a pool that was left behind for about 8 years as well 😅
Yes we did. They sold us on the fiberglass marcite. It was more expensive but lasted longer than regular marcite and looks fabulous. @@AdeelAnsariUS
Fibertech is what we had installed.@@AdeelAnsariUS
If you should decide to have the pool filled in and done away with, You will need to remove the decking and about 1 to 2 feet of the upper portion of the concrete side of the pool and the bottom should be jack hammered so that all the dirt you fill in will be able to drain water into the ground below and a rising water table will not push the old pool upwards out of the ground. Not as complicated as it sounds as all the old debris can just be tossed into the pool as it is filled in. There is no need to remove anything, just break it up so ground water can get to wear it needs.
y'know, the algae makes it look... cooler and more nature-ish
i would totally dive in there with a full set of diving gear to look at the beautiful ecosystem that formed
What did the owners of Realtors find in the pool did they find anything interesting? or or cool findings?
tho i cant imagine thats quite sanitary
You would get three different kinds of AIDS from doing that. I had a pool that was maybe 1% as bad as this one, and you would start itching about 10 seconds after jumping in. It had to be drained and pressure washed just like this pool.
that would be terrifying
Even the dog is like, “You sure you want to go in there Man?”
Lol
Lmfaoooooo
The second clip of the dog is like a 8 Yo kid just watching his dad cleaning up the pool in summer lol
@@lol-lc8vd RELATE HAHAH
What did the owners find in the pool anything interesting? or no?
The underwater shot was amazing, from a swamp to a pool.... just so satisfying!
Shrek doesnt approove
@@real_III 😂😂
@@leanne496
It looks like some horror version of the barrier reef!
Fr it looks like something out of a Nat Geo documentary
Yes it was
I love how the surroundings were clean unlike other transformations 💀
It honestly looks amazing, how nature does it’s thing “naturally”
That is not a pool, it's a scientific environmental experiment. It looks like a sci-fi horror movie in there. 😷 Good on you for taking that on. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
👁️👄👁️
It looks like poop that has been left for 8 years
Dirty pools Perfect movie sets
It looks like the other Dimension in "Stranger Things"
I thought it looked like scenes from the movie "Fantastic voyage."
I find it quite fascinating what nature does in only 8 years. It's taken the whole thing back in a relatively short amount of time. Imagine mankind is gone for 100 years. What would it look like then?
Underwater Forest
There’s a great book called The World Without Us that talks through what would happen in 5, 10, 100, 1000 years to pools, houses, cities etc. without humans. quite fascinating.
@@CraigMCox oh wow I must read that
U should watch dr stone
It would make an entirely new animal
LOVED the underwater shots
those underwater shots were something I never knew I needed to see
It looked like an underwater forest!
It reminded me of the creep-vine area in subnautica
Swamp 🐊
yes
Yes
Lmao I was going to say that
Just some advice, lately its hard to hear what you say, even on max volume. You should talk louder or use a microphone 😅
Me trying to watch these to relax and fall asleep to: volume on max to be able to hear anything at all.
Random music half-way through: I'm gonna destroy these guys' whole eardrums
@@Anni_Mau HEHE boi
He mumbles...
Was just about to comment the same!!
@@Anni_Mau same here!!!!!
Came back to tell you this is still my favorite video you have made! It’s just so magical! And I see something new every time. XD I feel so weird saying this but I just wanna make my own pool like this one! :)
I am impressed with the tiles and how good it now looks. great job guys.
When you're under the water, it's so gross knowing it's a pool. Yet, it's so beautiful cause the plants grew very well 😂
Do you mean algae that gew very well?
@@gamerxxgamer6723 yes, the algae 😂
@@gamerxxgamer6723 algae is a plant I believe
@@nikn7747 it's a confusing topic, but they are not plants. Some (such as seaweed) may look like plants, but they are protists. Also, as a side note, I remember learning that plants can't live in salt water, which is pretty cool imo.
@@dahliasnowball8783 oh ok, thanks for correcting me
Personally, if I had a pool that has advanced to that level of ecosystem, I'd keep it like that. Those underwater shots were incredible.
Might as well start a hydroponic farm and put some fish in there too. Gets something out of it.
I'm sure the smell is not as wonderful 😳
@@rosabandera_home the smell probably wouldn't bother me 👁️
@@rosabandera_home it probably smells pretty natural, sort of like a swamp or a pond and not so much like rotten stuff
maybe it could do with some fish in there as well
3:09 the dog like “bro, the hell you doing?” just cracked me up 😂😂😂
The underwater shots are fantastic!
Keep the volume level consistent, boy. We're watching this at 3:00 am.
the comment i was looking for 😂🙏🏻
3:14am 😂😂
3:57 am
not his problem
@@elu7539 4:12 am😂😂but I'm one month late🤧👍
Would have liked to have seen the whole process, like the tilling and heater set up maybe could have done a part 2 or even 3
Give him some time. He usually puts out a long video a little while later. He’s done that with many of these massive clean ups.
I believe some other contractor did that. He probably just returned to the pool to add chemicals and check the water.
That pool looks like a mini-sized swamp
That looks great!! You got that pool very clean.
It looks beautiful when he puts the cam under water.
It's so fascinating how nature can take back over even a chlorinated pool and see all this amazing growth in the water.
chlorine will naturally dissipate . For example if you're setting a aquarium you let the water sit (depending on how many gallons) for 1-5 days before adding fish if you don't have water conditioner.
One evaporates the chlorine the algae and life can colonize very quickly
I'm just amazed he went into the pool, that's some level of dedication to get GoPro footage!
Did they find anything interesting in the pool? or no?
These videos are really cool and these pools were built to last. Just amazing how they were built back then.
One of my favorites because of the doggy supervisor! I bet he was waiting to get to swim! Also I dig the choice of time lapse music.
Yes
Amazed that human remains weren’t found in that algae-scape!
Imagine he did that underwater shot and panned to the right a bit to reveal an algae-covered skeleton
oh,you missed that part
@@johnmichaelkarma 😳
why exactly is that tim. have you...... 👁️👁️
The algae at em
VFX artists and Under water photo Grapers know the real value of this
That dog when you turned around 😂😂😂
I know the number of mosquitoes in that backyard was insane!!!
It had a lot of dragon fly larvae!!! Most pools just get mosquito larvae
@@thepoolguyml wuht?
@Euro Hugo Perdana lol mosquito babies
@@thepoolguyml Hey man did you replace the main drain cover? I noticed it was missing when the pool was full. I hope it was replaced as that’s pretty dangerous without it.
It's insane that someone would have a pool and leave it like that
I agree 👍
Keeping the pool all natural for the wildlife. Lol
Well if it was like that when you bought the place I can understand just keeping it covered
Right, I would have drained it long ago. That algae is dangerous
@@MsEss02 why is irgendwie dangerous
when he put the camera underwater it looked kind of cool, but falling into that would be discussing
Very discussing indeed
Yea might discuss about that later
What they discussing tho? 😳
This guy is like an apocalypse for single celled organisms lol
When you went underwater I was expecting to see a lure skimming through the water. That looked like every fishing show underwater scene I've ever seen.
Surprised there wasn’t small fish living in it!!
Tadpoles at least
I saw two
Not surprisingly there actually was!
@@laurawilson3049 ...this is in England!
2:37
That went from a horror movie science experiment to a lovely looking pool. Awesome work!
That dog is like beware man !! Beware! Lol
Please bro record the time when you fill the swimming pool with clear clean water at the end cuz it's so important 👍🏼
I know that’s the only thing that’s bothers me about him, he never films when he fills the pool
I think that's because the owner is the one who fill the pool
At the end...it literally shows water in it.
He leaves it to fill up for a few days and then he comes back
@@mrmaster1729 I would like to see it, my ocd gets triggered when it’s not complete
The underwater shot at the start is one of the coolest things I've ever seen lol
1:35 feels heaven❤️
The transformation is insane 🤌🏻🤌🏻
The dog dont even want no parts of that 😂
Can someone give this man a raise? After what he cleaned he deserves one :,>
He’s a pool guy, he can give himself a raise anytime he wants
Don't worry youtube gavem a Hell of a raise
It's amazing how clear the water is - good video
Add a couple of fish and a baby gator, and I'd swear that GoPro footage was shot in the Everglades. It's nothing I'd want to swim in, but it's strangely lovely~
We had almost the same neglected pool when we bought our house. Unfortunately under all of that neglect was $30k of plaster, plumbing, coping, concrete and equipment replacement. I wonder how much was left out of this video between the end of cleaning and final product.
Shrek doing well for himself, an upgrade from the forest!
Yup!
Wow, so beautiful, both at the beginning and at the end
That underwater shot was fricking amazing!
those algae formations in the pool are so mesmerising- thanks for that underwater shot
Follow ya boy for the pool work
holler*
@@Chicken_3475 Holla*
You know what im talking about
@@iceain3441 holy
I was waiting for it 😂 Thank you
My daughter had brought a house were the swimming pool wasn't in use for 3 years, and one of our grand daughter felt in it, but her sister of 2.8 years alert the father and save her !!! The swing pool was all fenced but somehow she get in there and play a bit around and fell in it. So scary !! She is alright now, married and soon she will make me a happy great grand father !! Thank God.
It's cool see underwater view kinda like those clear swamps/rivers and just wow at same time
Thought we switched to a update on what the titanic looks like now.
The lack of “pressure” used in this video bothered me for some reason 😂
I was saying to myself that he needs a better pressure washer
It's beautiful if only flowers could bloom underwater
That dog just watching him! 😂
That was too nice of a underwater view to clean up I was hoping for decent fish inside there
As an aquarist I kinda love when pools turn into ponds
What did the Realtors find in the pool? did they find anything interesting cool findings?
Really guys salute to your wonderful efforts ❤️❤️
The dog is so cute! 💙
Get a bucket, drill some small holes in it, sink the bucket into the sludgy mess and then stand you pump inside the bucket.
The small holes will stop the gunk from clogging the pump up but sill allow the water to enter.
Good idea but it wont work for too long for the small holes will be plugged with gunk too?
Until it eventually gets clogged.
Yeah small holes work for foliage but think stuff like this not so much
For the people saying the holes will get clogged, it does but then you simply run a brush or something around the bucket to clear it which is far quicker than clearing the intake on the pump every time! Anything that fits though the holes will go though the trash pump so you don't get the issue of the pump jamming up with debris.
Used to use this method for draining my neighbours pond which was always really slimly in the bottom after winter.
Bro don’t even get me started 🤣 I’ve said this on the last 3 jobs
I purchased a house that had been in foreclosure and a neighbor told me that the pool had all sorts of algae in it.The pool had already been cleaned when I bought it.The pool guy said he would fix the problem with the recurring algae growth.The algae gets into the pourous cement and you can't get rid of it.It grows back,not alot but its always noticable.So after numerous chemicals have been tried and all of them have failed,the pool guy says drain the pool and use two coats of rubberized paint.I hope he is right this time,its been over ten years of failure.
it.It
I think I was that pull guy
@@willsocietyacceptmecauseio1276 This week marks 11 years. So far the algae is winning.Planning on painting over the winter. If that doesn't work I will open an algae farm.
@@jeffhallel8211 ooo
Regular chemicals/cleaning will definitely keep the algae away.
His puppy dog face was priceless
If i were there i put cat fish there and say " Cat Fish Its Your Time To Shine 😂
The dog was making sure you ain’t gonna steal the pool
I love these videos! A lot more than compilations. Also that underwater shot was crazy, looked like a forest
the end is so gorgeous i love it ^^
I’m sure shrek isn’t going to be happy when he returns from far far away 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 awesome job 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Have you ever gagged or felt sick doing any pools
Use a snow shovel for that algae, won’t damage the tile and most likely do it in half the time 👍🏻
Nice job fellas
Lil homie lookin like that was a frickin cat cleaning the pool
Literally a whole ecosystem started growing down there
I’m in love with seeing the inside of the pool! Thank you! It’s a whole amazing ecosystem of Succession I’ve never seen close up and beautifully made for us to see! I think I’ll add this to watch later because literally it’s so awesome!
What did the owners find in the pool anything interesting? or nothing? or cool findings?
It's so beautiful down there.. I have so many wallpapers now hahahaha
The mosquitos must have *LOVED* that pool! 😉
1:13 welcome to Subnautica
also forest
This is a massive undertaking! Can I ask how many hours it took you to do the job from start to finish?
Honestly looks amazing.
That algal forest was absolutely beautiful. Ofc clean the pool, but it was bittersweet to see it go
the mud is REALLY GOOD fertilizer for plants in the garden
Looks like my uncle's pool, except it's been a lot longer that 8 years and had a disintegrating rat in it.
A whaaaat😱
@@nasonair I'm sure there's more now. Haven't been or seen it in years.
I can imagine the smell
@@adrienclemons5471 Well congrats that rat is part of the pool now
Broooo that was a natural resource 😭😂
That looks great underneath
I wonder how much he charges to do a job like this.
like this problably 700/800
Not enough!!
I would guess 1500
Somewhere between 100-500 if it’s a small but for like large pools it’s prob like 1500-2600
£3.75
Besides cleaning and refill, do you do pool repairs? Would be cool to see pool repairs done
I really miss the Big Bopper, Ritchie Valens, Buddy Holly Walt Disney Roy Disney, Rod Taylor, Cowboy Copas, Elvis Presley and Peggy Lee
At first I was like OMG HOW WILL YOU GET IT ALL OUT, but when you scraped some off at the beginning I thought oh it’s not that dirty
From the top glance, my first thought was ewww...but once the camera panned under the surface it was like a whole new beautiful underwater world. Nature is amazing.
