Building Natural Swimming Pool

Beautiful love it thank you for sharing God bless you always have a beautiful day

[@Bettinasisrg]

Beautiful! Thanks for sharing.

[@raydreamer7566]

Wow after having build a regular type ( chlorinated ) pool I see this video. We are on top of a small mountain with a circular view. My wife is a farmer at heart and I know this would have suited her style much better than what we have. Fantastic - - garden pool !

[@peppevenez]

Thank you! Maby you can change it in a couple years! 👍😉

[@silviavoss6411]

Wow the lava stone and plants are the wetland filtration, great approach much like aquascapes , they also have bio falls which enhance clarity, nice job guys!!!

[@peppevenez]

Thank you! 😊

[@Ohsage1111]

Dreamy. It's wonderful. Thanks for sharing!

[@peppevenez]

Thank you! 😊

[@DocLindgaard]

Well done! Super good looking.

[@peppevenez]

Thank you! 🙏

[@atulksingh13]

Very nice... Creation shows your talent 👍

[@peppevenez]

Thank you! 🙂

[@jefftoycollections743]

Very nice, what type of pump did you use?

[@peppevenez]

We have 2 pumps of 15000 lt/h but we use just 1, we start the second when we want more water in the waterfall.

[@krisrose219]

Lovely

[@mr.gambol1807]

ayos bro. nice

[@miguelruizm]

Clearly mother nature took care of building this pond! How much did she charge you?

[@benpaynter]

Looks awesome

[@peppevenez]

Thank you!

[@koteswarammaramireddy3723]

natural good

[@jbonnett1225]

Impressive. Did the shallow filter area warm up the water in the pool area as well as clean it out?

[@peppevenez]

Not really, because the gravel in the biofilter is 50cm deep. The water flows outside only a few cm. But the goal is not to heat the water too much otherwise the processes for the formation of filamentous algae increase.

[@andifaizalbahri2793]

Thanks for sharing this amazing project. What makes me so curious about the level tank. Is the level tank lower than swimming zone or just couple cm above the bottom of swim zone?

[@peppevenez]

I missed your question. Sorry. The level tank is in line with the edge of the swim zone. The water inside is at the same level of the swim zone so I can control the water level from It.

[@chapter45reset93]

O wow ...I love this ...absolutely amazing❤️❤️❤️❤️ Serious question, I'm looking to make something similar in my home country...in the islands how much am I looking at price wise?

[@peppevenez]

Thank you! 😊 Depends if you build by yourself or hire a company. We built it by ourself, i think we spent less than 8 k euro. Maby less.

[@chapter45reset93]

@@peppevenez thanks for replying. It's not as much as I thought...will be making mine in Jamaica...I'm so excited

[@peppevenez]

@@chapter45reset93 enjoy your project! 👍😊

[@rexio06]

Did you have to water proof the concrete or is the liner underneath enough?

[@peppevenez]

The liner is enough but the concrete need a treatment for painting.

[@rexio06]

@@peppevenez thank you for you answer. I am thinking of making a pool which will have liner underneath and flagstone fixed with concrete on top, and was really wondering if the water could muess up the concrete if i put liner under it.

[@peppevenez]

Surely to attach tiles you need a rigid wall and it must be treated with specific products to stay in contact with water. 👍

[@rexio06]

@@peppevenez Only the floor would be concrete and stone. Would i have to waterproof the concrete before I lay the stone? The walls would be sloped of or i would have big boulders where the wall would be steep. Thank you for your advice

[@doldenar6853]

does it get slimy

[@peppevenez]

Yes, only in the shallow area, just few centimeters, but it's normal.

[@tracylinden8043]

If the regen zone was fully integrated with the swimming area, maybe it wouldn’t look so green. Especially since you painted the swimming zone white.

[@peppevenez]

Hello, make a natural swimming pool with an integrated regen zone means to have a bio filter with a static water system. It is a good method but it's not good for the climate where i live, a very hot area with a four seasons. My system is a dynamic water filter, the water flows through the lava stone and there is continuous water movement. The green water is normal in a natural swimming pool, it is the effect of unicellular algae, this is possible to tone down with a UV light, but we decided not to use one. 😊

[@slystarsky6976]

Wow, potrei spiegare come si fa? Ne vorrei fare una qua in Sardegna. Dove trovi come si fanno?

[@peppevenez]

Ho fatto parecchie ricerche prima di cimentarmi. In un posto caldo come la Sardegna (lo sono in Sicilia) ti consiglio una biopiscina "dinamica" e non statica. L'acqua deve circolare altrimenti forma alghe filamentose.. le piscine con il bio filtro statico nei lati secondo me vanno bene solo dove le temperature rimangono miti. Su internet trovi parecchie informazioni. Se vuoi qualche info nel dettaglio chiedi pure! 👍

[@slystarsky6976]

@@peppevenez Grazie mille!! Cercherò di trovare tutte le informazioni online, se avrò ancora domande, ti invierò nuovamente un messaggio. Ora che hai la piscina da un po'... è ancora bello?

[@peppevenez]

@@slystarsky6976 Ciao, il bio laghetto è sempre bello e piacevole, la manutenzione è costante come una piscina classica, delle volte di più. Le piante acquatiche vanno pulite, togliendo il secco e se si vuole il fondo limpido bisogna aspirare i depositi, avendo dentro delle carpe i depositi si formano prima.. Dipende che tipo di piscina si vuole, una biopiscina ti da la possibilità di nuotare con pesci, rane, libellule, ecc.. Una piscina classica estiva ti da l'idea di una acqua pulitissima, limpida ma in realtà è acqua trattata chimicamente. Entrambe vogliono costantemente pulizia.

[@dr.ing.salmanstmsc538]

What maintenance do you do particularly concerning the filter?

[@peppevenez]

Hi it's a biofilter, so 3, 4 times a year I remove the dry leaves from the plants, that's it.

[@duckling9854]

Natural swimming pool with lots of cement n plastics.

[@peppevenez]

We don't have clay in our area. The liner is the only option to keep the water in. The water is filtered by plants, no chemicals are used.

[@GassyJalapeno]

How much this run you?

[@ValerieHaro]

Amazing result! I’m curious, what are the measurements of the swimming area?

[@peppevenez]

Thank you! 🙂 12 mt x 3 mt.

[@tangoESPECIAL]

Looks filthy green and algae

[@michaelcarman5216]

expensive and hard labor

[@sebatos8794]

What happens when a fish dies?

[@jenson1569]

it gets eaten up like in nature

[@barakcohen3612]

What natural about it I see ton of plastic and other non natural stuff

[@peppevenez]

We don't have clay in our area, the liner is the only option to keep the water in. When i write natural I'm referring to the water and the filtration sistem, no chemicals.

[@Ohsage1111]

@@peppevenez Ya know, you don't have to respond to these morons. If they don't get it, don't sweat it. We who understand what you've done here applaud you as you have created a habitat for so many species. You're rocking it.

[@crazylittlepartytifs]

@@Ohsage1111 yup, haters gonna hate, for no reason at all other than the fact that they enjoy it

[@chapter45reset93]

Go away‼️‼️‼️

[@SometimesMonkeysDie]

Gorgeous, what were you approximate build costs if you don’t mind me asking?

[@peppevenez]

Thank you! I don't know really the total cost, because we built it by ourselves, little by little. I think probably between 10 and 15 thousands euro.

[@SometimesMonkeysDie]

Did you lay the concrete and build the walls On top of the liner?

[@peppevenez]

Hi, yes, the liner is under the structure.

[@SometimesMonkeysDie]

@@peppevenez thanks for taking the time to reply. Do you remember the size of the liner you used? Thanks!

[@SometimesMonkeysDie]

Also, did you use 1 liner or two for the pool/bog filter?

[@SometimesMonkeysDie]

Sorry for all the questions, greatly appreciate your time! Do you know the dimensions of the high wall and the shorter wall with the plant filter? The height and width of the steps? Thank you so much!

[@peppevenez]

@@SometimesMonkeysDie i used 2 different pieces of liner, the swimming pool size was 15x6.5 mt, i don't remember the bio filter size, but something similar, maby 10x5. The water level is 80 cm in the lower side and 1.7. Mt in the deepest, it's 3 mt wide. I don't remember the dimension of the steps, we only did 2 with a little platform.
