There's a pump and a sand filter in the bamboo hut. In fact you can install any treatment and filtration system, all the accessories that you can install in a traditional concrete pool are also possible with this type of construction, outboard filtration unit, counter-current swimming, salt treatment, chlorine, etc. ... The only thing that differs is the structure, which is without concrete, and the cost...
Thank you, there are still a few small folds, but in this case the larger ones were glued to themselves by folding them over without cutting. It is also possible to have the geomembrane welded by a professional welder, but you need to find a welder...
Hello, it is still in service, nothing special to report except the pump of the filter which was changed, it will soon begin its 14th year of service...
I LOVE this pool!! I bought your book but we won't start a pool for another year after we build our own house. One project at a time right? Did you replace the liner? This looks amazing for 20 yrs!! Great job!
@@sixgunsue8 Thank you very much Suzanne ! I wish you well with the construction of your house, it's true that you have to respect certain priorities for projects like these, but if I may say so, if you build the house yourself, do the pool as soon as possible, so that it will be operational even if the beaches are not done. I restored my house myself but I did the pool long before I finished the work on my house, and I can say that it is very nice to be able to cool off during the hard work... I haven't changed the liner yet, and rectification the liner is now 21 years old this year, and I think it can do a few more years... I hope you enjoy it quickly, time goes by so fast... Keep me informed of the progress of your work... See you soon, Daniel
@@buildyouringroundpool8405 Hi Daniel, that is exactly what we intend to do!! So we can cool off while working on house! Can I ask how long approximately it took for your pool to be operational? We have friends with heavy diggers and skid steers to do the hole. We are trying to plan when to break ground. It does not get hot here until June. We are starting next year. Also how do you incorporate the stone without it growing algae? And is your pool salt water pump? Many thanks! Sue
@@sixgunsue8 Construction time varies greatly depending on the person, the type of project and its size. Personally, when I realized it 21 years ago, I was alone and the pool was operational in 1 month without the beaches, moreover at the time I had not yet developed the technique of fast smoothing of the walls. The development of algae is conditioned by the treatment of the water, whether there are stones or not. At the moment I don't have any salt treatment, only chlorine, but in the future I might do it. You have to know that everything that can be installed in a traditional concrete pool can also be installed in this type of pool. But all this is indicated in the ebook...

Thank you Larry ! She resisted very well, she is now 13 years old and she is in the same condition. But above all, look at the condition of the first built which will begin its 21st year of service in July 2022 : ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-GtnVYsXtug4.html
@@buildyouringroundpool8405 .. I may have missed this but what state are you in I’m in Ohio and curious of winter with a pool like this , thanks for the reply
@@larryrobinson1399 I am in France, you can watch the slide show on the home page of my site to see photos of the swimming pool in the middle of winter : buildyouringroundpool.com/ We have already had winters at -20 °, and I know that some were built in the mountains in the Alps with even lower temperatures, and also in Quebec. Winter is not a problem, geomembranes are designed to withstand -40 °. A swimming pool must obviously never be emptied in winter, so that the water possibly contained in the ground does not cause damage, and also so that in the event of frost the thrusts are balanced between the swimming pool and the ground, but this is valid for any type of in-ground swimming pools ...
Hello, thank you for your interest in the concept. I do not know the precise brand of the product, but I indicate a reseller in the links page of the site, and on the internet you can find other resellers. But any brand can be suitable, you just have to know that it is necessary to use a PVC geomembrane, and not EPDM geomembrane.
Merci, but it is not a treatment of water by plants. The treatment of water by plants is complicated with many inconveniences, a large part of the basin is not usable for bathing and is only used for plants, if the water temperature exceeds 25 ° it becomes unmanageable, and you need a pump that works 24 hours a day ...
Beautiful well done over the years, you’ve saved a fortune by doing it this way. I’m 71 otherwise I would be in my back yard doing the same. What do you do for winter freezing the water? Drain it out with a pump?
Thank you, at 70 it is not too late ! This system for having a real solid and durable inground swimming pool is the easiest, the fastest and the cheapest in the world. For the winter I simply drain the filter and the pump.
Hello and thank you, I indicate on the site a reseller for Europe, for the USA you have to prospect on the internet, but by looking for "PVC geomembrane" I think that in a large country like the USA you should find it quite easily.
@@buildyouringroundpool8405 I Yes,To many kinds,Only Black, also different thickness.I'm losed ,I wish you guys were here in usa to contract you😁But Thanks for answering I wished you the best luck on you future projects.
@@tonysegarra7086 Thank you so much ! The black geomembrane is EPDM and it is not good for a swimming pool, it needs 1mm thick PVC. If you are looking for all the information to build this type of pool from A to Z, there is the ebook that you can order here : buildyouringroundpool.com/index.php/order Good luck to you too for your projects
Look at this one, it's the first built : ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-lLUrRPJ2gD0.html She is 20 this year and i think she can do a few more years.
Please, i have one question: How your swiming pool have the blue color apect? I ask this because you used a type of cover in the excavation of black color ... how did you get that bluish aspect? Thanks for help us! And congratulations! Wonderfull work!
Hello and thank you, the geomembrane is not black but dark green, and the blue appears systematically with the thickness of the water, and its color varies with the color of the geomembrane and also if the sky is cloudy or sunny.
Hello to the Philippines :). Filtration is the same as for a traditional concrete pool, sand filter and pump. You can also install an outboard filtration unit to save time. Everything that can be installed in a concrete pool can also be installed with this process.
@@DigzGuy The ground is naturally stabilized, no backfill is necessary, if you want to know all the techniques for this type of construction, you can get the ebook here : buildyouringroundpool.com/index.php/order
Yes, but we can remove the folds by welding or gluing, and even with folds it is how many times less expensive compared to a concrete swimming pool ? ... And the completion time ? ...
Yes, it is PVC geomembrane that can be welded with a heat gun, if you do not know how to weld you can also use an adhesive. You can even guide the folds to make them bigger and glue them on themselves by folding them without making any cuts.
@@Jayskitso I agree....How do we get ther PVC geomembrane liner? Is there a website? I want to make sure I can get the liner before I download the book.
Question.. maybe it's there but I didnt see it. What is holding the vinyl from moving . I see the big builder rocks .. what if the vinyl needs repaired. How easy is it to get to the vinyl.
