Imagine being surrounded by water lilies and reeds as you bathe in naturally purified water while in the comfort and privacy of your backyard. You can take a refreshing, mid-summer dip without dry skin or itchy red eyes. Natural swimming pools present a unique opportunity to have a pool that looks and acts like a swimming pond in your backyard, without the harmful effects of chlorine and other chemicals to your body and the environment. With a natural pool, you get excellent water quality and gorgeous wildlife of a recreational pond, while having lower maintenance costs than traditional pools.
They utilize bacteria and microbes to keep the water pure, clean, and healthy for swimming in. They stay clean by having clearly defined swimming areas and constructed wetlands. Generally, half the pool is plant free for swimming and the other half is for regeneration and cleaning. The regeneration zones have small, energy efficient pipes that mechanically circulate the water to break down impurities in the same way nature does. Each of the regeneration zones has specific aquatic plants, which extract excess nutrients in the water to keep the pool clean. Water from the swimming zones pumps through natural, biological filters made up of microorganisms, plants, and small life forms to purify the water. Each natural pool has overflow channels, which collect debris from the water.
Choosing a natural swimming pool has many advantages to your personal health and the health of the environment. Reflections will work with you to design and help in natural pool construction so that it can be personalized to your specific needs and tastes.
