How-To Ebook FAQ's
What's The Natural Pool Academy? For over 20 years, we've helped people build their own natural pools with our how-to eBook, Natural Swimming Pools & Ponds: THE TOTAL GUIDE. In 2023, we launched The Natural Pool Academy in order to expand our educational offerings. This includes a new website, NaturalPoolAcademy.org, which hosts the newest edition of the eBook along with a new video course, Natural Pools: The Essential Online Course and our Essential NSP Construction Plans.
How do I receive the eBook once I purchase it? The eBook is instantly viewable online on the Natural Pool Academy website (NaturalPoolAcademy.Org) and is designed to integrate with our online course and Essential NSP Plans which you can also view there. After purchase on the Natural Pool Academy website, you will be automatically prompted to create a password and allowed to login to the eBook pages of the website. Once there, you can download a PDF version of the eBook for offline viewing, if you so choose.
Is a printed eBook available? The eBook is meant to be read on a computer, tablet or smartphone and features a double page "spread" format and many live links. If you do plan to print the eBook, you can download a special PDF version by following the "request a pdf" link. We recommend printing it in color since some of the pages feature important color-coded details (it is 69 pages total). The eBook is copyright protected, so please do not distribute, post online or otherwise share it. We've worked very hard on this eBook, so please only use it as intended!
What info is covered in the eBook? Though our eBook focuses on the Essential construction style -- our most economical (and most diy-able) style of NSP, which uses a multi-section underwater wooden wall -- many of the concepts covered, like the bio-filter details, are universal and can be applied to more custom NSP projects as well. The Essential style of pond is very flexible and customizable and can be made anywhere from 32FT to 50FT+ overall. In addition to the underwater wall construction, the eBook also illustrates how to size the bio-filter, plumb the system (including the biological filter, pumps and other equipment), excavate the pond, install the liner, add a pebble beach and/or pier and so much more!
