What Is A Natural Swimming Pond?

A natural swimming pond is an outdoor water feature designed for safe swimming without chemicals, such as chlorine. Instead, the pool uses water naturally filtered by plants, biological filters, and mechanical filters. This process removes unwanted contaminants like algae, sediment, and debris.

These water features offer beauty and recreation. They also provide an opportunity to enjoy nature while relaxing in the comfort of your backyard.

Natural Swimming Pond FAQs

Algae control is easy if you know what causes it and prevent it from growing. Proper filtration is key for the health of the pond and to control algae growth.

The most common cause of algae is excess nutrients, which can come from fertilizers, garden soil, and other sources. To reduce nutrient levels, use a fertilizer that has low nitrogen content. Avoid fertilizers containing phosphorus because these are often responsible for creating blue-green algae blooms.

To prevent algae from forming, avoid adding large amounts of organic matter such as leaves, twigs, and mulch to your pool, which can encourage the development of harmful bacteria.

Natural pools are easy to maintain and require little cleaning. However, it’s important to skim the pool for debris, like dead plants, branches, and leaves. Too much dead organic material can lead to algae growth. Also, remove floating objects like plastic bottles and toys to keep your pool beautiful and healthy. We offer a variety filtration and skimming options.

A conventional pool uses artificial materials for construction and chemicals to clean the water. Also, maintenance costs more and requires more effort.

In contrast, a natural swimming pond uses natural materials in construction and filtration. Maintenance costs are lower with a reduced environmental impact.
