My natural pool in the rain. Year 6

income generator - put this on loop for hours

Thanks for the update in the rain. I find these pools awesome and am also stupidly thinking of building one in the woods. It seems like skimmers and a yearly vacuum keeps it pretty clear.

Amazing!

What do you recommend for mosquitos in the water ?

[@jonathanmcmahon2214]

The pool actually has a bunch of natural predators for mosquitoes and mosquito larvae. Frogs, tadpoles, dragonflies, dragonfly nymphs, salamanders all live in there and eat them. Our mosquito population around the pool is virtually 0 since we put it in.

Nice pool, how long to build and how much? That pool water stays clear with plant life?

[@jonathanmcmahon2214]

About 3 months mostly by myself. Around 22k. Yes.

So nice

Hi there, I love what you did with the pool, the design is beautiful ! Could you explain how you built it ? There are several ways and technologies for filtration, and I would like to know which one you chose. Thank you

[@jonathanmcmahon2214]

It uses a planted perimeter and 2 top skimmers powered with air lift pumps for filtration.

@@jonathanmcmahon2214 thank you for your reply. So you don't use any other mecanical filter than the skimmers ?

[@jonathanmcmahon2214]

Correct.

[@pierregauthier31]

​@@jonathanmcmahon2214 Thank you ! I am very much interested in this type of set-ups which doesn't require to buy any expensive devices 🙂 I'm glad that you established stability in your pool with it, it's conforting me to do the same !
