Natural Swimming Pool Design and Construction

Natural swimming pool design creates water features that rely on nature to keep the water clear and clean. First used in Europe, natural swimming pools are increasingly popular in North American, especially in the fields of backyard swimming pool design and small swimming pool design.

SWIMMING POOL DESIGNS AND THE ENVIRONMENT

Natural swimming pool design avoids chemicals entirely, using a complex filtration system that includes water plants, beneficial bacteria, and microbes. Natural swimming pool landscape design creates a filtration area next to the pool that has all the features of a natural watershed. Natural swimming pool design allows beneficial bacteria to flourish. The beneficial organisms prevent the buildup of unhealthy bacteria. Natural filtration has a much lower environmental impact and requires less energy than traditional filtering systems.

SWIMMING POOL LANDSCAPE DESIGN

Natural swimming pool design often mimics a natural pond or swimming hole. Beach entries and waterfall features are popular, as are rock features and islands. The pool edge is often surrounded with plant life, including the plants needed for filtration. Backyard and small swimming pool design can create pools that merge seamlessly with the surrounding landscape. Traditional swimming pool designs that incorporate natural filtration systems are also possible.
