Ep 2. Edible Pool

In the second episode of Pool Master Season 1 entitled "Edible Pool," Anthony Archer-Wills, a world-renowned pool designer, takes on the unique project of designing a pool that doubles as a functional garden. The clients, a family from Massachusetts, want a pool that not only looks beautiful but also allows them to grow vegetables, fruits, and herbs.

After meeting with the clients and inspecting the backyard, Anthony comes up with a design that meets the family's needs. He plans to build a pool that has built-in planters on the lower level, which will allow the family to grow their own produce. Anthony also plans to incorporate a wall fountain and a swim-up bar to make the pool area perfect for entertaining guests.

As construction begins, Anthony works closely with his team of builders to ensure that every aspect of the pool is built to perfection. They start by excavating the area and laying the foundation of the pool. Next, they install the plumbing and the electrical systems. Anthony also oversees the installation of the planters, which are built with a custom irrigation system that will keep the plants hydrated.

Once the structural work is done, Anthony and his team move on to the aesthetic details. They start by giving the pool a natural look by using stones to create a waterfall and a river-like flow. They also create a deck area around the pool that is made of composite wood, which is both durable and eco-friendly.

The next step is to add the finishing touches to the pool. Anthony and his team install underwater lighting that will illuminate the pool at night. They also place floating planters on the surface of the water, which not only look beautiful but also help to filter the water naturally.

Finally, it's time for the big reveal. The family is overjoyed as they see their new pool for the first time. They are thrilled with how the pool looks and how functional it is. The built-in planters are filled with strawberries, lettuce, and herbs, ready to be harvested and eaten. The family can't wait to start using their new pool, and they are grateful to Anthony and his team for creating a pool that is both beautiful and sustainable.

In the end, "Edible Pool" showcases Anthony Archer-Wills' exceptional talent for designing pools that go beyond aesthetics and become spaces where families can gather, entertain, and grow. The episode highlights the importance of sustainable living and how even small steps, like incorporating a garden in a pool, can help us live more responsibly and harmoniously with nature.
