Natual Swimming Pool
- Hollow a hole in the ground.
- Make sure the sides slope.
- Reserve at least 50 percent of your pool's surface area for shallow plants.
- Separate the swimming area of your pool and the filtration area.
- Inside the plant zone, the water should get steadily deeper, reaching a maximum depth of 18 inches near the swimming zone.
- Aerate the water so the water organisms' oxygen needs are met.
- Channel water from your pump into your plant zone through the use of PVC tubes.
- Bury the tubing in the soil about 18 inches deep.
- Use skimmers hooked up to an additional small pump, to suck off floating undesirables.
- Apply a layer of bentonite clay to seal the soil or lay a synthetic liner.
- If you choose a liner, select one made of ethylene propylene diene monomer rather than PVC.
- Cover the bottom of the pool with 4 to 5 inches of gravel.
- Open the spigot and run water through the gravel.
- Build cobblestone steps for access into and out of the pool.
- To finish the edges of your pool, run a plate compactor around the perimeter.
- USe the perimeter with rocks, flagstone or wood planking.
- Plant the perimeter right next to the edge and let the plants stabilize it.
Concrete Options
- Consider construction with cement.
- Have the right mix and the right density to prevent cracking.
- After the concrete is poured, trowel on a %inch coat of stucco to waterproof the pool, since concrete is porous.
- Prepare the plant zone with 3 to 6 inches of soil.
- Avoid harvesting soil from areas where animal excrement is prevalent.
- Disturb the soil as little as possible and let the pool rest for a week before installing plants.
Plants
- Before collecting a single plant from the wild, know the laws protecting wetlands and their plants.
- Be sure to choose plants suited to your climate.
- Obtain your plants from a native-plant supplier.
- Be sure to include submergent plants such as common waterweed for their high oxygen output.
- In water 6 to 18 inches deep, plant a mix of floating, submergent and emergent plants.
- Group plants according to height and type.
- Place your plants into the soil, anchoring them, with plenty of gravel.
Maintenance
- Remove plant litter in spring and fall.
- Keep your water level constant, be prepared to add water as needed.
- Check the mechanical systems annually.
