Organic Pool gravel on a slope - Why it stays there. 

As simple as physics! Thank you for the empirical demonstration!

Enjoyed your cameo at Mapperton, can't wait to see what you end up doing there! 😀

This is great topic…..watched it and directly implemented it in my organic pool design i am currently sketching…….gravel or pebbles is ideal cause they move around walking on them, releasing any sediment, algea or other impurities attached to them…….in worse case can even simply remove all for cleaning. In my previous organic pool used sandwash but now design in gravel/pebbles……..slope 1:6 gradient. Thanks to highlight this topiv

OMG ! ! ! Thank you ! ! ! I definitely would have built it wrong.... Now I will definitely do it CORRECTLY.

Very good demonstration.

Really good job with the lighting and cinematography!

Thanks!!!! Genius David 🙌🏼

Can’t wait to see you at maperton

This is passion and true craftsmanship ❤❤

Thank you!

Heck yes, very helpful thank you

Thank you

Thanks for the very helpful info

Thank you so much!

Genius!! Thank you 😊

Thanks for this heads up! I should be on the safe side (just...)

I’m here from Mapperton, can’t wait to see what you do there (your channel is very interesting).

Amazing❤❤

Hey David, wonderful work as usual. Entertaining and incredibly insightful. Do you do consulting work? We are close to starting the process of converting a pond on our property to an organic swim hole. I would love to use your consulting services - if your willing - before beginning this project to ensure we’ve thought through the process correctly. Cheers!

2:17.....fyi, on this side of THE POND it's referred to as 'angle of repose'.

Nice

Hello. 🙂👍

If you use light or dark blue gravel will that make the clear water of a natural pool look blue?

I am curious why not step down to the final meter drop so that you could have multiple flat levels? Also curious if you have any thoughts about using dirt packed tires as the retaining wall under the pond liner? Love your work and videos😁 Thank you

When will you be running a course David?

I’m wondering whether a fiberglass shell pool can be converted or is the concrete wall required?

Hallo David, in Portugal much houses have borehole, is the water of borehole is good to make a eco pool? Thanks

Does the plant filter have to be three meters wide or can you make it two meters and compensate the rest with making the concrete wall a bit higher? Reason i'm asking is that we would like to make a swimming pond with a swimming area of roughly 3*7m maybe even 3*10 ( depends on how big the yard wil actualy be after the house is built). As far as i can extrapolate we wil have ample space lenght wise, but we might come up short in the width if three meters is a must.

Thanks David! How can I purchase an Olive Biofilter? I’m in the USA. I’ve sent several emails but you might not be receiving them! Much appreciation!

Excuse me but surely the angle of a 1 in 3 slope is actually 30 deg - three 30s being 90 n all?

You have patrion? Like only fans?

I made the same mistake as yours. Too steep a slope, gravel won't stay. i am thinking of using flag stones locking each other. 🤔

2:38 Unless you're Moses. 😉

Good day, I'm from Ukraine. I'm in the army now, but I live with dream to do organic pool 🙂

Thank you!

Is it a bad idea to use a simple lime plaster (pulverized limestone+water) on the concrete blocks?
