How It Works

In our most popular model, the swimming area is separated from the planted, biological filter area and a waterfall offers pleasant music and valuable aeration. A skimmer collects large debris and a UV sterilizer polishes off the water cleaning process and assures biological safety.

Let’s Go Swimming
Have you ever seen how many pounds of chemicals go into a typical swimming pool? Have you ever read the warning labels on the chemicals used to sterilize typical swimming pools? The basic pHilosopHy behind water quality in a typical swimming pool is to kill everything short of killing the swimmer. There is another way.

Visualize this: you are lazily floating, toes up,  in a pond of sparkling clear running water, surrounded by wild grasses.  Hummingbirds land on nearby trumpet flowers and the scent of jasmine and mint is in the air. Is this a dream or some mid-life fantasy? Neither. You may just be part of a new trend in swimming the natural way -without chlorine or other harsh chemicals in the water.


In a natural swimming pool we harness natures’ own processes to produce clean, clear water. If you have ever had the opportunity to swim in a crystal clear lake or stream, then you know the sense of bliss that only nature can supply. Swimming is much more enjoyable without burning eyes and chemical odor.

In Europe they have built hundreds of natural swimming pools since 1985. Interviews with pool owners have shown overwhelming satisfaction.

We have tested and swam in pools by Bio Nova and BioTop (see photo of Mick in Germany). Their systems' work well when water temperatures are cold (colder than 25 degrees centigrade). We have developed a system for much warmer climates. From Canada to Mexico, our system is biologically safe and will pass the bathing water standards in your area.

What do we clean from the Water?

  • Ecoli and other harmful bacteria
  • Plankton algae
  • Oils, including skin oils
  • Body fluids (all kinds, including accidentals)
  • Fish and fish food waste (if needed)

 

What about mosquitoes?

Natural predators and moving water make a Natural Swimming Pool practically mosquito free. Four tires stacked in your neighbor's backyard will create 100 times more mosquitoes.
