How To Make a DIY Natural Swimming Pool

David Pagan Butler introduces natural swimming pools -- no chemicals, just plants and a simple 12 volt powered filter to clean the water -- and shows you how to make your own from recycled materials for a fraction of the cost of one installed by a professional contractor. Great fun and a beautiful wildlife habitat too. This is a trailer for David's full length DVD coming soon to http://www.green-shopping.co.uk

Mosquitoes find life very hard in a healthy pond ecosystem. There are so many natural predators, like dragonfly larvae, that they have little chance of survival. You will find far more mosquitoes in a forgotten bucket of water.

@swool123 Yeah I'm calling you stupid because you are. Don't have to know your bitchy ass, your first comment reveal that you are a total dickhead. The second reinforced it completely. Just shut your pie hole you stupid teen.

Where can I find a pool like this to swim in my area? I don't have a pool and I really miss swimming.

@neelantra um dont call me stupid you dont know me bitch! that was MY FUCKING opinion its not like im trashing the idea of a natural swimming pool i think its nasty for a SWIMMING POOL a pool is ment to be clean and clear to swim in if ppl wanted to swim in dirt then they can go to a lake like that one behind my house that i HAVE swam in a couple of times before thank you so maybe next time you should STFU before you say something when you dont even know the person. god damn.

@btblou I'm looking into this also and I have narrowed it down to EPDM rubber lining. Check it out.

@swool123 have you ever swam in a river or a dam? You stupid city slicker. harden up.

[swool123]

ew that fkn disqusting i dont care if the water is circulated or clean i wud never even touch that water just because of the way it looks. no one wud ever wanna bring friends over to swim in that swamp. ive seen waaay CLEANER PRETTIER and NICER "natural" pools and this is deffinitely not one of them.

Congrats, this is a wonderful idea, why didn't I think of that :)

Would be happy to by the DVD if I can confirm that there is a liner available that is environmentally friendly (no pvc). I haven't been able to locate a green alternative here in Australia. Thanks

This is an awesome idea.. but I have an extreme fear of frogs, lizards, salamadars and such.. so this does not appeal to me.. but I love the fact its all natural..

how do you do the pool circulation??
