David Pagan Butler's great!! He's the master. You can pay for his long step by step video about building a pond and it is not expensive and worth every penny. And you're right he does a lot that he shows right there on youtube! You have done an excellent job with yours! I am so impressed. I'm working on my own but on a much smaller scale but every time I see them so successful like this I feel inspired. Thank you very much for sharing this video.

Very nice. The water looks very clear and clean. They will enjoy it for years to come. Worth the effort.

wow, great results for a couple week's worth of work plus $10,000. Couldn't beat that, young lads enjoying the heck out of it too! Thanks for posting!

I love that you built this .. Absolutely beautiful idea

This is so cool. We have found some in PA. Must have been left over from an old estate. Spring fed, walled in & as refreshing as all get out

Great work. How does the pool look one year later? I would love to know what are the 'lessons learned', what you'd change, what you'd recommend for others based on your experience? I'm super impressed by how clean it looks, especially given the depth. Any suggestions for 'dos and do nots'?

That’s so nice looking, like a natural pond instead of a big blue pool.

This is awesome 😀 I love it! Thank you for sharing!! 🌺💫💫💫

If those plants are cattails those things are going to go crazy in there! Good luck! I had a 4000 gallon Koi pond, similar set up with a liner in it and I put one cattail in there and in maybe a year the whole pond was filled with them. Maintenance nightmare!

Awesome job, love it.!!

Excellent!

that is awesome. where I live, the plant area would be full of water moccasin.

Wow I think that’s awesome that is awesome swimming pool we put a lot of hard work into it and it is beautiful I would love to have one that is just awesome good work🥰💕💕💕

Looks awesome 👏🏼

I feel like with those rocks around the very outer edge, after a few storms, mixed with high winds, and with people going in and out, moving the water around etc. I feel like the rocks would just start to wash away, and deform the structure of the way the rocks sit now. It sure does look super fun to just hang out and float around in.

@@Turkeychuk one last question -- what filtration system did he use? I'm going to use bubblers, but debating between a pool filter or "the pond guy" filter, since it is all natural and chemical free-- I'm going to build a waterfall and want the water coming back out from the pump to flow over the waterfall -- not sure if you have seen the VIDS about the natural swimming pool at the Eco Lodge in Bali, but if not, definitely check it out.. This is the look I am going for, as well as a similar filtration system. Ps- concerning the filtration question, I'm asking what he initially did.. I know he's working on his own DIY filter system -- but the pool in the VID at first looks so clear, wandering if it even needs extra filtration

watched the video without audio because i'm listening to music, just putting this out there. please treat the water or keep it very cold, i live in florida and although it's highly unlikely to be able to come in contact with naegleri fowleri, you do not want to take that chance. that's why here, we only swim in the ocean or cold springs, never in warm bodies of freshwater because of naegleri fowleri but really more so because of the alligators, we prefer swimming with sharks

Looks awesome! I need to know a couple things. 1) what kind of gravel was used? 2) do you use chlorine? Or can you use chlorine? 3) how many pumps do I need? 4) you mentioned if the pool was deeper you'd put gravel in the bottom. Is there a reason for that?

@Turkeychuk

1. I believe it was a pea gravel that was used. 2. No on the Chlorine. It would kill all the life in the pool and defeat the purpose of having this kind of pool. 3. just 1 pump serviced this whole pool 4. I believe because when it's more shallow like this he can vacuum the sediment and if it were deeper, he would really have to worry about it.

As long as the water is moving it will make it harder for the mosquitoes to lay eggs. Therefore they find somewhere else. It's standing water that produces mosquitoes not water that's moving.
