  • Question
    Will the water turn green from the plants? If so, is that bad?
    Community Answer
    That is very unlikely, but if the water does turn green, don't use the pool. it could mean chemicals or algae have contaminated the water.

  • Question
    How does square footage translate to length and width for the pool and plant zone?
    Community Answer
    The dimensions aren't very precise. Using 22-foot sides gives you a 484 square foot "pool". A a 5-foot-deep shelf (in this configuration) gives you a 27' by 27' complete pool size with approximately one third plant zone.

  • Question
    Can I make an 8 foot square pool, or is this too small?
    Community Answer
    It would be a little small ,about a little bigger then a twin size bed, but if it is just for you, thn it would be okay for somewhere to just chill.
