It's a dractically different climate so the maintenance might be easier. You won't have like, tree leaves gunking it up. Yeah, what I'm reading is that they are mostly self sufficient because they filter through plant life in a retaining pool built next to the pool itself. you never have to drain or refill the pool either.

Dikitain posted... Pools in general decrease property values because you are decreasing the potential market of your house. If people don't want pools and want something like, say, a garden or a large patio, it makes it harder for them to justify buying your house. Really, any large addition to your backyard that requires extensive amounts of work to remove decreases the property value. Having a fruit/vegitable garden is probably the most environmentally responsable while being easy to replace for the next owner of your house. oh that is absolutely not an issue here because everyone wants a pool lol i am also going to have a garden in my yard. i have a 7200 sqft yard. i am planning a fruit/veg/herb garden with some fruit trees, a natural pool with a patio, and a shed in that space. i think i'm being as environmentally conscious as i can by going for a natural pool. apparently their popularity here is actually rising. not super concerned about my property value anyways because i want to live in my house, not update it and sell it for more money.

Probably something you should have thought of before you bought your house. :) sure if i could have afforded to i would have lol idk what type of life you live where you can just afford to live anywhere at any time but i'm really happy for you <cite>Jen0125 posted [p:965727023] in i'm thinki...
