It might just be something like a bunch of sand filters that pass the output through a patch of moss before it enters the pool. Basically a series a grey water tanks that feed into a spill basin full of Sphagnum or the like before it goes back in.

It's much easier to grow the council budget if you add more duties that require workers, even if those duties are mostly pointless. With a larger budget and more employees, those in management can justify high salaries for themselves.

he's lying.

you have to change at least half the water out once a year or so, or else the mineral content will go through the roof.

early water filtration plants were built on the same principle before modern chemical treatment, and some cities keep them around as backups.

dude's pool doesn't look anything like other pools that use nature-mimicing filtration though. suspicious.

Probably because she’s hanging up laundry in her front yard, which is trashy and unsightly, like a retard instead of in the back like every other person who ever hung laundry out to dry.

They're called natural swimming pools. This has been being done for some time.
The idea is that it's not just a hole/tank filled with water like a regular swimming pool-- there is the pool part and then a small constructed wetland that the water "filters" through. A microbial matrix forms in the soil of this filter section and helps to filter the water, which is normally moved around with a pump.

It says that nothing is put in the water, not that none of the water is ever exchanged, numbnuts

>>2880367
Look at the right of OP's image, there is a second bassin for filtration.
