Chemical-free water garden and swimming pool. The plant portion, or
regeneration zone, is separated from the swimming area by the wall seen a
few inches below the water’s surface.
'The regeneration zone can be along the perimeter of a natural pool or a pond unto itself but connected to the swimming area.
The pools have skimmers and pumps that circulate the water through the regeneration zone and back into the swimming area. The aquatic plants filter out contaminants and use nutrients from the water as food which helps prevent algae. Then rocks, such as granite river rock or haydite, to which friendly bacteria attach, act as biological filters.'
See how the swimming area and water regeneration area are separated?
I am a water person, I need to have access to water either physically or visually to stay sane. So these pools/ponds rock my world. Although I love water, I don't like mucky ponds where bugs breed and slimy algae attacks you every opportunity it gets. I also don't love creepy chemicals. These pools are so awesome in the way that they naturally filter the water. I want to move this very moment so I can create my own and jump in every day. Except in the winter...Then I will ice skate.
What I really like about these beautiful pools is that creates a good and refreshing atmosphere on your backyard. Not to mention that it makes a good connection to the environment as well. All in all, natural swimming pools are a great addition to one's property. Thanks for sharing!
