What is a Natural swim pond?
A natural swimming pool is a self cleaning swimming pool; using plants instead of chemicals to clean the water.
We utilise aquatic plants carefully selected to keep the water clean all year round.
Minimal maintenance is required, and running costs are extremely low in comparison to a chlorine pool.
How Do They Work?
Natural swimming pools are a chemical free combination of swimming area and aquatic plant garden. The swimming area merges with the planted area, creating an environment that is intertwined and mutually dependent on one another.
These ecologically balanced, self cleaning swimming pools combine the natural cleaning properties of plants with filtration and skimming systems so that there is no need for harmful chemicals or intensive sand filtration.
The result is a biologically chemical free clean swimming environment. The water is clear but not sterilised, as in the traditional swimming pool, and it is able to sustain the normal range of pond life, microscopic organisms, invertebrates and even frogs and toads.
