- So this pool was left for around 8 years since it was last used!! The new customers had only moved in around 3 months ago and wanted to get it up and running again! I took some under water footage with a go pro and it looks amazing to be honest!!! But it had to go!! Check it out and let me know what you think!! @poolboyb4nners helped me on this one! Thank you for the help it was much needed!
Difficulty level- 8/10

“It’s got its own ecosystem down here” 😂😂
🤣
😄😄
That's what I said
The WWF should have intervened to have it protected.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Leave it for another 10yrs, you’ll see a civilization and the lost city of Atlantis

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.
Fascinating
Should've stayed single
@@Marcuswelby-nx2te ur weird
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...
Actually I think that letting fish out into the wild is dangerous for them. Since certain fish (Like goldfish for example) will start breeding like crazy, and over populate whatever body of water that their in. Unless you already have a plan for that, then this comment will be for nothing :))
😊
Now if this was Florida you would have found a gator in that pool.
You may have and fish too.
And a snake
@@denavenable9297 That's true too.
Fish, snakes, frogs, all forms of insect life including the dreaded mosquito and THEN Gators or even ducks.
No doubt.
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.
Lots of likes but no comments
Yep
I had just noticed that, i agree
2:40 i think its those things
All the murk settled
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.
Yeah bud i dont thing u want to live in there, probably a Lot of bad bacteria and other crap in there
I love how the surroundings were clean unlike other transformations 💀
The fact that a COMPLETE ecosystem was made in that pool is mind blowing.
Yeah, even little animals lived there
@@Klaproossje ITS SOOOOO COOL THOUGH!!!!!!!
@@ukraine19918 my enthusiasm is as high as yours, but I realize that it's not very well shown in my last comment 😅
@@Klaproossje ye
Now imagine what's in our ocean where the light doesn't reach if a pool like this exists 😅
To be honest, for 8 years the tiles were surprisingly clean.
Ya know... the rain...
@@gyorgymatyaskeszeg2082 The rain doesn't hit the bottom of the pool.
Took the words out my mouth
@@electr0maker436 we can at times, but there normally things like tadpoles
I'm pretty sure water soaked off dirty hence the lose dirty that was settled at the bottom
If u understand what I'm trying to say
3:08 the dog 🤣
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
What did the owners of Realtors find in the pool did they find anything interesting? or or cool findings?
tho i cant imagine thats quite sanitary
You would get three different kinds of AIDS from doing that. I had a pool that was maybe 1% as bad as this one, and you would start itching about 10 seconds after jumping in. It had to be drained and pressure washed just like this pool.
that would be terrifying
Even the dog is like, “You sure you want to go in there Man?”
Lol
Lmfaoooooo
The second clip of the dog is like a 8 Yo kid just watching his dad cleaning up the pool in summer lol
@@lol-lc8vd RELATE HAHAH
What did the owners find in the pool anything interesting? or no?
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. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
👁️👄👁️
It looks like poop that has been left for 8 years
Dirty pools Perfect movie sets
It looks like the other Dimension in "Stranger Things"
I thought it looked like scenes from the movie "Fantastic voyage."
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.
Did you call local pool companies or something? I just bought a house, and it has a pool that was left behind for about 8 years as well 😅
Yes we did. They sold us on the fiberglass marcite. It was more expensive but lasted longer than regular marcite and looks fabulous. @@AdeelAnsariUS
Fibertech is what we had installed.@@AdeelAnsariUS
If you should decide to have the pool filled in and done away with, You will need to remove the decking and about 1 to 2 feet of the upper portion of the concrete side of the pool and the bottom should be jack hammered so that all the dirt you fill in will be able to drain water into the ground below and a rising water table will not push the old pool upwards out of the ground. Not as complicated as it sounds as all the old debris can just be tossed into the pool as it is filled in. There is no need to remove anything, just break it up so ground water can get to wear it needs.
LOVED the underwater shots
The underwater shot was amazing, from a swamp to a pool.... just so satisfying!
Shrek doesnt approove
@@real_III 😂😂
@@leanne496
It looks like some horror version of the barrier reef!
Fr it looks like something out of a Nat Geo documentary
Yes it was
It looked like an underwater forest!
It reminded me of the creep-vine area in subnautica
Swamp 🐊
yes
Yes
Lmao I was going to say that
I am impressed with the tiles and how good it now looks. great job guys.
It honestly looks amazing, how nature does it’s thing “naturally”
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 😂
Do you mean algae that gew very well?
@@gamerxxgamer6723 yes, the algae 😂
@@gamerxxgamer6723 algae is a plant I believe
@@nikn7747 it's a confusing topic, but they are not plants. Some (such as seaweed) may look like plants, but they are protists. Also, as a side note, I remember learning that plants can't live in salt water, which is pretty cool imo.
@@dahliasnowball8783 oh ok, thanks for correcting me
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?
Underwater Forest
There’s a great book called The World Without Us that talks through what would happen in 5, 10, 100, 1000 years to pools, houses, cities etc. without humans. quite fascinating.
@@CraigMCox oh wow I must read that
U should watch dr stone
It would make an entirely new animal
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! :)
These videos are really cool and these pools were built to last. Just amazing how they were built back then.
Just some advice, lately its hard to hear what you say, even on max volume. You should talk louder or use a microphone 😅
Me trying to watch these to relax and fall asleep to: volume on max to be able to hear anything at all.
Random music half-way through: I'm gonna destroy these guys' whole eardrums
@@Anni_Mau HEHE boi
He mumbles...
Was just about to comment the same!!
@@Anni_Mau same here!!!!!
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.
Might as well start a hydroponic farm and put some fish in there too. Gets something out of it.
I'm sure the smell is not as wonderful 😳
@@rosabandera_home the smell probably wouldn't bother me 👁️
@@rosabandera_home it probably smells pretty natural, sort of like a swamp or a pond and not so much like rotten stuff
maybe it could do with some fish in there as well
those underwater shots were something I never knew I needed to see
That looks great!! You got that pool very clean.
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
Give him some time. He usually puts out a long video a little while later. He’s done that with many of these massive clean ups.
I believe some other contractor did that. He probably just returned to the pool to add chemicals and check the water.
It looks beautiful when he puts the cam under water.
The underwater shots are fantastic!
Really guys salute to your wonderful efforts ❤️❤️
It's so fascinating how nature can take back over even a chlorinated pool and see all this amazing growth in the water.
chlorine will naturally dissipate . For example if you're setting a aquarium you let the water sit (depending on how many gallons) for 1-5 days before adding fish if you don't have water conditioner.
One evaporates the chlorine the algae and life can colonize very quickly
Keep the volume level consistent, boy. We're watching this at 3:00 am.
the comment i was looking for 😂🙏🏻
3:14am 😂😂
3:57 am
not his problem
@@elu7539 4:12 am😂😂but I'm one month late🤧👍
It's cool see underwater view kinda like those clear swamps/rivers and just wow at same time
Wow, so beautiful, both at the beginning and at the end
Amazed that human remains weren’t found in that algae-scape!
Imagine he did that underwater shot and panned to the right a bit to reveal an algae-covered skeleton
oh,you missed that part
@@johnmichaelkarma 😳
why exactly is that tim. have you...... 👁️👁️
The algae at em
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.
Yes
the end is so gorgeous i love it ^^
The dog is so cute! 💙
Please bro record the time when you fill the swimming pool with clear clean water at the end cuz it's so important 👍🏼
I know that’s the only thing that’s bothers me about him, he never films when he fills the pool
I think that's because the owner is the one who fill the pool
At the end...it literally shows water in it.
He leaves it to fill up for a few days and then he comes back
@@mrmaster1729 I would like to see it, my ocd gets triggered when it’s not complete
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.
I'm just amazed he went into the pool, that's some level of dedication to get GoPro footage!
Did they find anything interesting in the pool? or no?
It's amazing how clear the water is - good video
It's insane that someone would have a pool and leave it like that
I agree 👍
Keeping the pool all natural for the wildlife. Lol
Well if it was like that when you bought the place I can understand just keeping it covered
Right, I would have drained it long ago. That algae is dangerous
@@MsEss02 why is irgendwie dangerous
Surprised there wasn’t small fish living in it!!
Tadpoles at least
I saw two
Not surprisingly there actually was!
@@laurawilson3049 ...this is in England!
2:37
Honestly looks amazing.
The transformation is insane 🤌🏻🤌🏻
The underwater shot at the start is one of the coolest things I've ever seen lol
I know the number of mosquitoes in that backyard was insane!!!
It had a lot of dragon fly larvae!!! Most pools just get mosquito larvae
@@thepoolguyml wuht?
@Euro Hugo Perdana lol mosquito babies
@@thepoolguyml Hey man did you replace the main drain cover? I noticed it was missing when the pool was full. I hope it was replaced as that’s pretty dangerous without it.
It's so beautiful down there.. I have so many wallpapers now hahahaha
Nice job fellas
The dog dont even want no parts of that 😂
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.
That pool looks like a mini-sized swamp
The fact that this was posted on my b'day :D Thankyou!!!
those algae formations in the pool are so mesmerising- thanks for that underwater shot
Can someone give this man a raise? After what he cleaned he deserves one :,>
He’s a pool guy, he can give himself a raise anytime he wants
Don't worry youtube gavem a Hell of a raise
when he put the camera underwater it looked kind of cool, but falling into that would be discussing
Very discussing indeed
Yea might discuss about that later
What they discussing tho? 😳
That underwater shot was fricking amazing!
Thought we switched to a update on what the titanic looks like now.
That was too nice of a underwater view to clean up I was hoping for decent fish inside there
Great watching material while eating!
This was so satisfying to watch
The lack of “pressure” used in this video bothered me for some reason 😂
I was saying to myself that he needs a better pressure washer
As an aquarist I kinda love when pools turn into ponds
What did the Realtors find in the pool? did they find anything interesting cool findings?
Liked the video before it even started cause anyone who deals with this is the real mvp
That algal forest was absolutely beautiful. Ofc clean the pool, but it was bittersweet to see it go
Shrek doing well for himself, an upgrade from the forest!
Yup!
I love these videos! A lot more than compilations. Also that underwater shot was crazy, looked like a forest
NICE TRANSFORMATION!!!
3:09 the dog like “bro, the hell you doing?” just cracked me up 😂😂😂
Use a snow shovel for that algae, won’t damage the tile and most likely do it in half the time 👍🏻
Have you ever gagged or felt sick doing any pools
VFX artists and Under water photo Grapers know the real value of this
That went from a horror movie science experiment to a lovely looking pool. Awesome work!
Follow ya boy for the pool work
holler*
@@Chicken_3475 Holla*
You know what im talking about
@@iceain3441 holy
I was waiting for it 😂 Thank you
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.
Good idea but it wont work for too long for the small holes will be plugged with gunk too?
Until it eventually gets clogged.
Yeah small holes work for foliage but think stuff like this not so much
For the people saying the holes will get clogged, it does but then you simply run a brush or something around the bucket to clear it which is far quicker than clearing the intake on the pump every time! Anything that fits though the holes will go though the trash pump so you don't get the issue of the pump jamming up with debris.
Used to use this method for draining my neighbours pond which was always really slimly in the bottom after winter.
Bro don’t even get me started 🤣 I’ve said this on the last 3 jobs
His puppy dog face was priceless
Brilliant underwater video!
Literally a whole ecosystem started growing down there
The dog was making sure you ain’t gonna steal the pool
Thank you for keeping your language clean. Makes your videos good for everyone.
The inside of the pool before cleaning would be an excellent movie setting.
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
It's interesting how addictive these are to watch.
That looks so cool underwater its kind of butifull
That dog when you turned around 😂😂😂
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!
What did the owners find in the pool anything interesting? or nothing? or cool findings?
This is a massive undertaking! Can I ask how many hours it took you to do the job from start to finish?
when you dipped camera in the pool it seems like the view of inside the sea😍😍
when you put the camera underwater it looked so cool! it looked like an underwater fairy land!
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.It
I think I was that pull guy
@@willsocietyacceptmecauseio1276 This week marks 11 years. So far the algae is winning.Planning on painting over the winter. If that doesn't work I will open an algae farm.
@@jeffhallel8211 ooo
Regular chemicals/cleaning will definitely keep the algae away.
Besides cleaning and refill, do you do pool repairs? Would be cool to see pool repairs done
I really miss the Big Bopper, Ritchie Valens, Buddy Holly Walt Disney Roy Disney, Rod Taylor, Cowboy Copas, Elvis Presley and Peggy Lee
Amazing!😮
good pool cleaning. thank you
You really leveled up this house. Well done👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
It's like a bloody fabric peeling off the walls! That's so cool and awesome! Though I feel bad for the man an owners having to deal with it.
It’s so satisfying watching the algae satisfyingly slip off of certain areas of the pool.😍
It's beautiful if only flowers could bloom underwater
