Natural Swimming Pools

Natural swimming pools are popular in Europe and are quickly gaining popularity here in the States. They incorporate mechanical and biological methods to regulate the biological balance of the structure. The concept is based on ponds and pools that existed in the landscape before chemical laden pools became the norm.

Natural swimming pools are eco-friendly, as they work with nature to keep the water clean rather than relying on chemicals. Just like natural pools and ponds, these swimming pools are cleaned and purified by a combination of plants, microorganisms (including beneficial bacteria), and water circulation. When done properly these methods can keep the water clean throughout the year. The benefits of natural swimming pools are considerable, but probably none more important than the absence of chemicals. They are also aesthetically pleasing to the eye either in your garden or within your landscape. Natural swimming pools basically incorporate all of the things we do at Brookside Contracting.
