Natural Swimming Pools
Certainly, clean water has always been a precious commodity. However, when it comes to the purification of it, we sometimes sabotage ourselves by using strong chemicals in the process. Natural pools utilize nature's water purification processes to provide clean safe water for swimming.
Because a natural swimming pool is a chemical-free pool, it uses the same principles as nature in filtering out harmful microorganisms. That is how the systems work: A pool has two distinct parts: the swimming area and a regeneration zone. The regeneration zone features all types of plants that feed hydroponically on the water.
Additionally, there are aerobic and anaerobic bacteria as a biological filter in the regeneration zone and this takes care of undesirable elements. In short, water passes through the filter, into the zone, and back into the swimming area, clarified and completely clean.

Of course, it depends on the climate zone and micro-climate where you wish to enjoy your Ecopool. Therefore the material of regeneration area is adjusted including the size. Without doubt, in natural pools, many types of plants can be used to provide oxygen and to aid in water filtration. All plants are classified into three categories within the natural pool environment: emergent, deep water-rooted and floating plants. Some of the most commonly used plants in natural pools for temperate climates zones include water lilies, perennial grasses such as reeds like SparganiumOase AquaNatur BioNova
