Though fairly common in Europe, natural swimming pools, are in their infancy in the United States.
But in recent years, a few builders and a growing number of homeowners have learned how to build pools without relying on a mass of manufactured materials and chemical additives. They've found it's possible to construct pools that are more about building with nature and blending into the natural landscape. Natural swimming pools use an ajacent pond and aquatic plants instead of harmful chemicals.
The plants enrich the pool with oxygen, support beneficial bacteria that consume debris and potentially harmful organisms..
The result is a beautiful, ecologically diverse system that is relatively inexpensive to construct. (A natural pond to support the pool can he constructed for as little as $2,000 if you do it yourself
I'll be submitting the plans to the ARC soon.
I'll have a typical pump with a sand or cartridge filter along with a UV or ozone system as most people do now.
But a small pump will circulate water thru the pond and pool.
No chlorine or make believe saltwater which is really just a different form of chlorine.
