Building Natural Swimming Pool 

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

Thank you! 😊

Thank you! 😊

Thank you! 🙏

Thank you! 🙂

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.

Thank you!

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.

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.

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.

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

@@chapter45reset93 enjoy your project! 👍😊

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! 👍

@@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?

@@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.

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

@@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.

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

@@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

Thank you! 🙂 12 mt x 3 mt.

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

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

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. 😊

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.

it gets eaten up like in nature

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.

@@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.

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

Go away‼️‼️‼️

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.

Hi, yes, the liner is under the structure.

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

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

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!

@@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.
