I HAVE BUILT A NATURAL CONCRETE SWIM POND WITH A GRAVEL BOG AROUND IT. OUR WATER IS CRYSTAL CLEAR BUT, MY QUESTION IS, HOW DO YOU KEEP ALGAE FROM GROWING ON WALLS AND FLOOR?
is the rotate the water with a pump? and is the water from the raining water of the house ? thank you ..i ts wonderful and we want to build this look like yours in our alternative universitiy with bee sevencorner stonecircles tree circles in the design of the flower of life energie ..and nature together and know how to teach/learn in this space
This is the only way to have a pool in my opinion. However, can they be heated at all? Perhaps radiant heat in the floor of the pool or geothermal heat of some sort? Or heating ran off of a solar unit?
They could. But they couldn’t reach more than 28C. Insulate bottom and sides to decrease heat loss to the ground. Also the regeneration zone absorb heat from the sun to the water.
I really like this sort of pool. My only concern is whether this is going to work in Western Australian conditions (prevalent problems with meningitis and other harmful microorganisms). Does anyone know anything about it? Cheers.
Ervin Nagy you can definitely do it in Australia I have built aquaponic system in Hawaii that basically did the same thing. The water was clean and my fish were happy and my plants thrived.
Wheres that little robot thing that sweeps up the bottom of the pool?..Kidding! Very nice..maybe the best I've seen on you tube. Still,if you are going to swim in it...why not use UV lights for making sure disease organisms are killed?
I'm not absolutely positive, Stan. But I do know that these pools rely upon good bacteria to compete with algae to keep the water clear. I've read opposing views on the UV lights, and we are seriously considering one of these pools. My search for knowledge continues.
IF some pool goes bad on you..UV would kill the blue green algae I believe. Something about gram negative bacteria and gram positive..the good guys filter,the bad guys are gray water,toxic blue greens. Something to explore. The pool above is gorgeous.
I agree natural is the only way to go, I also follow aquascapes who developed a eco system natural pool or pond, amazing stuff

Would this with in an area with snow?

Because there are bacteria needed to compete with algae for O2. Otherwise your algae will be out of control.
Not sure about that..they are used in Aquariums all the time..never upset the filter bacteria or plants.

Parabéns. Isso e um sonho
One day i would build one
how to maintain pool with crystal clear water? Please Advise
I need this.
U sure this was his idea first ? 😂😂
Jay Benjamin it was the English guy david
what about the brain eating amoebas that live in warm freshwater?
