Currently we’re living in a house with a typical swimming pool in the back. It’s really nice to have that option of hopping in the pool after a long hot summer day. The cold water is nice, but the chlorine is not. Sadly, I feel like we’ve been spending more time saving helpless bees, beetles, and dragon flies from the chlorinated water than actually swimming. That’s right, I said it, we’re giant lifeguards for the wittle bees! It’s sad really, we can’t walk by the alleged beautiful water without seeing a bug fighting for its life!
Not that this is a solution to that but it’s definitely something we’re interested in doing once we get the proper land to do so. Natural Swimming Holes… doesn’t that sound nice? No more chlorine, no more testing/adding chemicals, no more expensive pool filter running all summer. We planned on using some type of pond system to clean our greywater for garden use, but this sounds even better!
