The advantages of the ecological swimming pool and natural swimming
Everyone dreams of having an eco-friendly swimming pool, a pond at the edge of the woods that is not a pond, but a natural swimming pool.
Many people like to enjoy natural swimming, especially during the warm season.
When you swim in pure water, you feel as if you are being transported to a mountain lake or swimming in a river without the cold if the temperature is still very pleasant. And then, you don't have chlorine in your mouth and it is very pleasant.
But, pure water attracts new inhabitants.
Very quickly, you notice a real dragonfly breeding ground, the arrival of frogs. And little by little, we also saw birds arrive, all year round, to drink and preen themselves. The ecosystem will be created, enrich itself little by little and balance itself out
To obtain clean swimming water, we do not need chemicals, but we must follow several natural filtration steps.
The first step is filtration. Filtration is essential to remove impurities such as hair or dead leaves. Then the water will be treated in this regeneration basin thanks to plants and rocks. This filtration step is integrated into the swimming area.
So, the water will end up under this regeneration. What is regeneration? It is about 90 to 120 centimeters of aggregate. And if you want, the water will rise through this aggregate and come into contact with the habitat. Microorganisms are there to eat the bacteria that we, as human beings, bring during our swims.
Taking precautions before swimming is essential!
To avoid bacteria, taking a shower is mandatory to remove as many of our bacteria as possible. There is the aggregate made of limestone pebbles that does 80% of the work. The rest is done by the plants.
The water will come into contact with the plants.
The plants will provide oxygen, complete the filtration work and then, naturally, the water will end up in the swimming area. So, a natural swimming pool is quite economical in the long term because you do not have to buy any chemicals and the only thing you will have to pay for is the electricity to run your pump.
That is to say, barely a few euros a year for the use of this pump which returns the filtered water to the swimming pool, in the long term, these natural swimming pools do not cost much.
The pump has quick access without tools, and maintenance is not complicated.
On the other hand, the construction cost of this type of pool is generally higher than that of a traditional swimming pool.
Past the test islands, the plants that live permanently at the bottom of the water oxygenate the water, to eat the sediment, so. But these plants only live in the water, and cannot live outside of it. That is why above, we put water lilies to try to add an aesthetic side, it is the regeneration part,
Natural aesthetics are the asset of a pond and respect for the environment.
