Leave it for another 10yrs, you’ll see a civilization and the lost city of Atlantis

Now if this was Florida you would have found a gator in that pool.

I went the other way. We had a drought, so couldn't fill the pool. I added plants and within 4 days dragonflies were mating and laying eggs. Next added 12 x galaxias and 10 x tilapia (indigenous species). Haven't added anything since except occasionally a bread slice to watch the feeding frenzy - there are now a lot of fish. And it's a thriving ecosystem - no chemicals, no electricity, no effort, and it looks great. Also fun to occasionally catch some of the occupants, especially for the youngsters. The fish, dragonfly larvae and water striders ensure there are no mosquitos, and it's a really relaxing place to sit and take a nature break during the day (I work from home). If I ever sell and the new owner wants a pool? Drain it into bladders, relocate the fish (there's a dam just down the road), repaint with fibreglass, and refill from the sterilized bladders. Much nicer as a natural pond, tho'. And I can still take a dip - it's like swimming in a mountain pool...

The house my wife and I bought a few years ago had an abandoned pool. Had a snapping turtle, a red ear slider, and an unknown amount of frogs and tadpoles. I rehomed the slider to my fishing pond and moved as many frogs as I could to that area as well. The snapper went to a friend's pond. We filled it in at that point.

You're probably correct in saying that it might have its own ecosystem. That is clear, not murky, meaning something in there is filtering the water.

“It’s got its own ecosystem down here” 😂😂

1:13 I outright started appreciating on how beautiful nature can turn a misrble pool into a green ecosystem that i personally want to live in.

3:08 the dog 🤣

To be honest, for 8 years the tiles were surprisingly clean.

The fact that a COMPLETE ecosystem was made in that pool is mind blowing.

The first home I bought had a pool that looked like that. I debated whether to fill it in or repair it. Spent about 10 grand having it repaired and refurbished. The kids loved it. Got quite a bit of equity out of that house when we sold it 12 years later.

I am impressed with the tiles and how good it now looks. great job guys.

The underwater shot was amazing, from a swamp to a pool.... just so satisfying!

I find it quite fascinating what nature does in only 8 years. It's taken the whole thing back in a relatively short amount of time. Imagine mankind is gone for 100 years. What would it look like then?

LOVED the underwater shots

The underwater shots are fantastic!

That is not a pool, it's a scientific environmental experiment. It looks like a sci-fi horror movie in there. 😷 Good on you for taking that on. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

Even the dog is like, “You sure you want to go in there Man?”

y'know, the algae makes it look... cooler and more nature-ish i would totally dive in there with a full set of diving gear to look at the beautiful ecosystem that formed

That looks great!! You got that pool very clean.

It looked like an underwater forest!

Personally, if I had a pool that has advanced to that level of ecosystem, I'd keep it like that. Those underwater shots were incredible.

Came back to tell you this is still my favorite video you have made! It’s just so magical! And I see something new every time. XD I feel so weird saying this but I just wanna make my own pool like this one! :)

I love how the surroundings were clean unlike other transformations 💀

When you're under the water, it's so gross knowing it's a pool. Yet, it's so beautiful cause the plants grew very well 😂

Just some advice, lately its hard to hear what you say, even on max volume. You should talk louder or use a microphone 😅

Really guys salute to your wonderful efforts ❤️❤️

These videos are really cool and these pools were built to last. Just amazing how they were built back then.

It looks beautiful when he puts the cam under water.

Would have liked to have seen the whole process, like the tilling and heater set up maybe could have done a part 2 or even 3

It honestly looks amazing, how nature does it’s thing “naturally”

the end is so gorgeous i love it ^^

Keep the volume level consistent, boy. We're watching this at 3:00 am.

It's so fascinating how nature can take back over even a chlorinated pool and see all this amazing growth in the water.

The dog is so cute! 💙

It's amazing how clear the water is - good video

Please bro record the time when you fill the swimming pool with clear clean water at the end cuz it's so important 👍🏼

Amazed that human remains weren’t found in that algae-scape!

The transformation is insane 🤌🏻🤌🏻

Honestly looks amazing.

When you went underwater I was expecting to see a lure skimming through the water. That looked like every fishing show underwater scene I've ever seen.

One of my favorites because of the doggy supervisor! I bet he was waiting to get to swim! Also I dig the choice of time lapse music.

Wow, so beautiful, both at the beginning and at the end

Nice job fellas

Surprised there wasn’t small fish living in it!!

I know the number of mosquitoes in that backyard was insane!!!

It's cool see underwater view kinda like those clear swamps/rivers and just wow at same time

those underwater shots were something I never knew I needed to see

It's insane that someone would have a pool and leave it like that

The underwater shot at the start is one of the coolest things I've ever seen lol

This was so satisfying to watch

NICE TRANSFORMATION!!!

those algae formations in the pool are so mesmerising- thanks for that underwater shot

The dog dont even want no parts of that 😂

The fact that this was posted on my b'day :D Thankyou!!!

That underwater shot was fricking amazing!

We had almost the same neglected pool when we bought our house. Unfortunately under all of that neglect was $30k of plaster, plumbing, coping, concrete and equipment replacement. I wonder how much was left out of this video between the end of cleaning and final product.

Can someone give this man a raise? After what he cleaned he deserves one :,>

Great watching material while eating!

Brilliant underwater video!

That was too nice of a underwater view to clean up I was hoping for decent fish inside there

As an aquarist I kinda love when pools turn into ponds

That’s a beautiful tiled pool

It's so beautiful down there.. I have so many wallpapers now hahahaha

The lack of “pressure” used in this video bothered me for some reason 😂

Thought we switched to a update on what the titanic looks like now.

It's strangely beautiful

I'm just amazed he went into the pool, that's some level of dedication to get GoPro footage!

Shrek doing well for himself, an upgrade from the forest!

Great work mate but please sort the Audio editing out one minute I had to turn it up so I could hear you next I was deafened by music. But keep up the hard work great results

The water is amazingly clear.

Great work

Get a bucket, drill some small holes in it, sink the bucket into the sludgy mess and then stand you pump inside the bucket. The small holes will stop the gunk from clogging the pump up but sill allow the water to enter.

I love these videos! A lot more than compilations. Also that underwater shot was crazy, looked like a forest

You get a lot of views you deserve loads more subs

That looks so cool underwater its kind of butifull

Follow ya boy for the pool work

I’m in love with seeing the inside of the pool! Thank you! It’s a whole amazing ecosystem of Succession I’ve never seen close up and beautifully made for us to see! I think I’ll add this to watch later because literally it’s so awesome!

Brilliant job

Good job 👍🏻

You really leveled up this house. Well done👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

Have you ever gagged or felt sick doing any pools

Thank you for keeping your language clean. Makes your videos good for everyone.

good pool cleaning. thank you

Use a snow shovel for that algae, won’t damage the tile and most likely do it in half the time 👍🏻

1:13 welcome to Subnautica also forest

That looks great underneath

That dog when you turned around 😂😂😂

Literally a whole ecosystem started growing down there

It's interesting how addictive these are to watch.

That algal forest was absolutely beautiful. Ofc clean the pool, but it was bittersweet to see it go

Liked the video before it even started cause anyone who deals with this is the real mvp

I want to do this for a living! I clean homes in my cleaning business for a living, and now this makes me want to take pools on!

I purchased a house that had been in foreclosure and a neighbor told me that the pool had all sorts of algae in it.The pool had already been cleaned when I bought it.The pool guy said he would fix the problem with the recurring algae growth.The algae gets into the pourous cement and you can't get rid of it.It grows back,not alot but its always noticable.So after numerous chemicals have been tried and all of them have failed,the pool guy says drain the pool and use two coats of rubberized paint.I hope he is right this time,its been over ten years of failure.

It's beautiful if only flowers could bloom underwater

Bro that looks sooooo cool under

This is a massive undertaking! Can I ask how many hours it took you to do the job from start to finish?

The dog was making sure you ain’t gonna steal the pool

That dog just watching him! 😂

That dog is like beware man !! Beware! Lol
