I got to experience one of the most divine pristine swimming experiences in what seems to be a modern pool at first. When you look at it closer with it’s rock pool waterfalls and wetlands area, you can see the tiny shrimps cleaning the water hidden away, and small fish hiding in the roots.
Norm vant Hoff from Bali Eco Lodge talks through the 3 main things to think when considering creating your modern natural pool:
1. Aeration
2. Filteration
3. Circulation
He also shares about the ideas of Viktor Schauberger and recommends looking into his ideas and research on water and how it moves and revitalises.
There really is no reason for us to have any pools as chemical pools anymore when we can have modern pools that revitalise our cells and truly are a blessing to swim in!

Yes, it is rocket science. Finding balance, locating perfect components like the wetlands, the bamboo, the pump size for aeration specific gallons, the man is a genius! He invented a swimming pond of clear water?!! Bravo!! Thank you for the video!

You can certainly tell by the way this man talks that he has not wasted his time like most of us(myself included)worrying about things in life that aren’t important,He really seems to know quite a lot about water,At one point he spoke of man that he gained information from and it seems he took that knowledge and applied it in a very useful and beautiful way!!Im completely blown away by the simplicity but yet technicality of this!!I want to build a pool in my backyard(not as grand)but without the use of concrete etc,Wish me luck!!

Yes Johny! Norm has a lot of experience and researched a lot, as well as constant observation and pondering. Then applying all this to create such a beautiful oasis! Good luck with yours! Check out the second interview I did where he shows the pump and the water flow which I think would be super helpful: kzread.info/dash/bejne/an6gtaxqdLrTec4.html

Hi Norm, I am exploring the idea of natural pools and found this video. Great to listen to you, a wonderful pool, it's natural and so beautiful!
Thanks Norm for building this beautiful pool and showing us. Thanks also for mentioning Viktor Schauberger. His Living Water principle teachings I feel are what will bring humankind back in tune with nature, and ourselves.
I always ideas out of the box and admire people who dare to make it different, not have to follow the rules of a traditional pool designs, this gives me motivation to go ahead with my own one that people around me would make fun of my intention to do the same
I went here with my class for camp! It was so amazing, especially the bungalows!

wonderful article ! the man is a genius.
I think they're really underestimating just how many people absolutely would love to swim with fish and frogs and whatnot. As long as the water is clean and clear like that, that's exactly what most people would want. It's different than swimming in a normal pool, and people love a change in pace/something new. If you had some bigger fish (nothing capable of harming people like a pike or catfish obviously) for people to swim with, I'd bet that'd only increase the interest.

@ThrivingwithNature

Hi there, actually Norm explains that there are cost savings in the general maintenance as you aren’t buying chlorine all the time. Depending on your design it can be about 10-20% more than a conventional pool.
Would love to do this, but harder in a climate where the ground freezes solid every winter...plus we don't have the money to get an excavator, cement, etc., So we got a cheap above ground pool instead, use a sand filter and salt water system. The pool is easily drained, disassembled, and stored away for cold weather. Great if you have money to build yourself a natural pool like that.
@ThrivingwithNature
10 ай бұрын
Yes we are yet to see someone do this where it freezes, but I imagine if you have some sort of protocol you may be able to… I mean some creeks do keep moving in some places in the snow… but I’m not an expert.
@ravenwolf7128

@@ThrivingwithNature Yes, very fast moving water keeps moving in winter, but also sometimes gets ice over it--like ice caves with flowing water inside--beautiful, but can't imagine keeping a man-made system going in such cold temps--also, I'm not the ice man and don't need to swim until summer. And...money. If I can't build and maintain it on a tight budget, it doesn't get built...but I admire all these lovely pools that others build! I think I'll work on natural hot tubs for Northern climates! 🙂

Hi Angela, this is definitely tropical and very humid so a bit different from desert. If there are any natural springs or water around (not sure as it’s a desert) I would look at what plants are around there… I know the main plant used for filtration here was Vetiver Grass which may also be ok in that climate as it’s sturdy, but I’m not 100% sure. If you wish, contact Norm or ask over on the Bali Eco Lodge KZread channel: kzread.info
