- 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

XD
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
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 :))
😊
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
The underwater shot was amazing, from a swamp to a pool.... just so satisfying!
Shrek doesnt approove
@@real_III 😂😂
@@lealea.x
It looks like some horror version of the barrier reef!
Fr it looks like something out of a Nat Geo documentary
Yes it was
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
“It’s got its own ecosystem down here” 😂😂
🤣
😄😄
That's what I said
The WWF should have intervened to have it protected.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
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
3:08 the dog 🤣
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
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.
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 😳
@@rosa.athome the smell probably wouldn't bother me 👁️
@@rosa.athome 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
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
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'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
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?
I love how the surroundings were clean unlike other transformations 💀
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
Keep the volume level consistent, boy. We're watching this at 3:00 am.

3:14am 😂😂

not his problem

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
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."
It honestly looks amazing, how nature does it’s thing “naturally”
The underwater shots are fantastic!
It looks beautiful when he puts the cam under water.
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
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
These videos are really cool and these pools were built to last. Just amazing how they were built back then.
Thank you for keeping your language clean. Makes your videos good for everyone.
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!!!!!
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.
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
those underwater shots were something I never knew I needed to see
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?
The underwater shot at the start is one of the coolest things I've ever seen lol
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
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
My daughter had brought a house were the swimming pool wasn't in use for 3 years, and one of our grand daughter felt in it, but her sister of 2.8 years alert the father and save her !!! The swing pool was all fenced but somehow she get in there and play a bit around and fell in it. So scary !! She is alright now, married and soon she will make me a happy great grand father !! Thank God.
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! :)
those algae formations in the pool are so mesmerising- thanks for that underwater shot
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
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
The dog is so cute! 💙
Add a couple of fish and a baby gator, and I'd swear that GoPro footage was shot in the Everglades. It's nothing I'd want to swim in, but it's strangely lovely~
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.
I love these videos! A lot more than compilations. Also that underwater shot was crazy, looked like a forest
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.
I was waiting for the Loch Ness monster to jump out of that ecosystem 😂😂
Wow, so beautiful, both at the beginning and at the end
That was too nice of a underwater view to clean up I was hoping for decent fish inside there
Shrek doing well for himself, an upgrade from the forest!
Yup!
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?
1:35 feels heaven❤️
I am impressed with the tiles and how good it now looks. great job guys.
The dog dont even want no parts of that 😂
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
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?
the end is so gorgeous i love it ^^
It's beautiful if only flowers could bloom underwater
Follow ya boy for the pool work
holler*
@@rjmit8 Holla*
You know what im talking about
@@iceain3441 holy
I was waiting for it 😂 Thank you
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.
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
The mosquitos must have *LOVED* that pool! 😉
That underwater shot was fricking amazing!
Use a snow shovel for that algae, won’t damage the tile and most likely do it in half the time 👍🏻
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
Thought we switched to a update on what the titanic looks like now.
You get a lot of views you deserve loads more subs
3:09 the dog like “bro, the hell you doing?” just cracked me up 😂😂😂
1:16 wtf that's amazing! It looks like an alien forest😂
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
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!
Really guys salute to your wonderful efforts ❤️❤️
The fact that this was posted on my b'day :D Thankyou!!!
I love the underwater shots!! You should start doing those more often!
It's interesting how addictive these are to watch.
the mud is REALLY GOOD fertilizer for plants in the garden
That looks great!! You got that pool very clean.
VFX artists and Under water photo Grapers know the real value of this
I’m loving the Edwardian style house in the back
Have you ever gagged or felt sick doing any pools
This is a massive undertaking! Can I ask how many hours it took you to do the job from start to finish?
It's cool see underwater view kinda like those clear swamps/rivers and just wow at same time
Liked the video before it even started cause anyone who deals with this is the real mvp
Literally a whole ecosystem started growing down there
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.
New evolution is taking place down there 😂🙏🙏
2:40 IS THERE A FISH ? I THINK YES ! 🐟
That algal forest was absolutely beautiful. Ofc clean the pool, but it was bittersweet to see it go
Great work! Alternatively, you could have recommended some local fish hatcheries to stock the pond with =D
I really like these pool findings? and what people find in the pool. or some other abandoned places?
The dog was making sure you ain’t gonna steal the pool
I wonder how much he charges to do a job like this.
like this problably 700/800
Not enough!!
I would guess 1500
Somewhere between 100-500 if it’s a small but for like large pools it’s prob like 1500-2600
£3.75
Rip 🪦 dudes white shoes 4:19 😭
The inside of the pool before cleaning would be an excellent movie setting.
The ecosystem absolutely perfect
1:08 I dont know why but I feel the necesity of swimming in that place, it looks so crazy!!, like an ancient natural formation.
1:13 welcome to Subnautica
also forest
His puppy dog face was priceless
That dog when you turned around 😂😂😂
