rock salt in there and it'd be fine? Maybe you need a couple bags if it's a big pool. Hell if you don't want to do that you could probably put in a couple goldfish instead. I think it's a conspiracy by the chlorination lobby.

Some people do just that. They’re called saltwater pools, you peasant, and they own.

saltwater pool systems just break up the salt into chlorine that goes into the water, not literally salt in the pool

if you put actual salt in it's like set and forget and you don't have to worry about it evaporating out or anything

no I was just thinking about pools. If you had a pool and put fish in it you could redirect all your gutters into it too that would be neat. You could even have a little creek coming out.

I got this all planned out: you plant mangroves and sea grass in the shallow end. Bam. Perfect. All nutrients absorbed and integrated to a really cool tree.

big problem is keeping the whole thing warm thru the winter. You'd need a powerfully good greenhouse and maybe even a heat pump.
man. I cannot see any downsides to this, except if there was an earthquake it would gently caress up and spill saltwater out and kill some regular plants.

"Natural" pools are a thing that exists. People design and build pools to recreate hydrological and ecological processes so the pool effectively cleans itself without chemicals. It's a whole thing.

If he doesn't fix the roof he'll have an indoor pool eventually, win/win.

People have converted their disused pools into ponds, it would probably be much more of a task to convert one into an aquarium capable of supporting a reef.

Here's a youtube vid by a guy talking about his own home reef aquarium:

You DO just pour bags of salt into the pool. You then stir around around until it's dissolved.

Not to mention that the reef aquarium thing is covered with netting and screens to keep stuff from dropping into it from outside, and the pond conversions I've seen online are usually pretty murky, so you'd rarely be able to get a good glimpse of the fish in your poolquarium.

The best uses of pools are when they are emptied and skated in.

Pool care isn't that complicated, but don't waste your salt and however many gallons of water.

Is your pool disgusting?

Just drain it, cover with a tarp, and rent out to homeless people? And when it gets too gross all you have to do is fill and flush
