Sustainable swimming pools
Material
Vegetable filtration
The principle of a biological pool lies in its maintenance and filtration system, which is carried out by means of plants.
Spot and relaxing lights
The lighting of the biological pool highlights the importance of the vegetation and its direct relationship with the water. It stages the plantations and the water and creates a very cozy space, especially in
summer nights. A good option to continue with the ecological idea is to use in different points, even camouflaged, lighting with LED lamps.How to take care of it?
The maintenance of these elements requires a lower investment than in traditional systems where you have to check chlorine, flocculant ... With biological pools this process is simplified and, except for a few minimal annual jobs, you only have to take care of the filter - the plants - as well as the rest of the vegetation. Indeed, an advantage of this system is that it is not necessary to change the water in the pond. It is necessary to maintain its constant level, clean the bottom of the pool well and cut the plants once a year.Separated in two heights.
The bathing and vegetation areas can be differentiated by a small wall, only allowing the water to circulate between them, as is the case in this wonderful French garden created by the L'Orangerie, Architecture de Jardin studio. The two natural ponds are arranged in steps taking advantage of and following the natural unevenness of said terrain.Traditional pumping
For better filtration, a traditional pumping system is installed to complement the natural filtration of plants. We can use solar pumping to have a more ecological garden.Design
Eco design
Biological pools, in addition to being healthier and more ecological, allow giving a different touch of design to the garden.
Naturalized pool with the TeichMeisterm system, one of the most consolidated in the natural purification sector. Natural edges
For a perfect integration, the edges of these sustainable pools are completely different from those of traditional pools.Integrated into the environment By opting for an eco pool,
A delight for the senses 365 days a year
The natural pool constitutes a living and vegetated environment that blends perfectly into its surroundings and offers aesthetic interest every day, unlike traditional pools that are completely covered once the summer is over. This feature is a great advantage. The natural pool area forms an environment favorable to the development of biodiversity.

In any space
Almost any space can house a small sustainable one, as shown in the image. Naturalized pool also with the TeichMeisterm system, which is already installed in more than 1,000 projects like this one carried out in the Sierra de Madrid.
Well differentiated areas
The biological pool is a true ecosystem composed and divided into two parts: the bathing area and the vegetation area. They must have roughly equal surfaces for natural filtration to be effective.

A very flexible concept
An ecological swimming pool can be a very contemporary project, with great architectural and landscape strength. Overweis House in Germany, natural water purification with the ARAGrup-TeichMeister system, which Biostyle installs in Madrid.Nature
Turning a pool into a natural pond is the best bet to blend it with nature.Integrated into the environment
By opting for an eco pool, explains Fernando Pozuelo "in addition to a pool, when we bathe, we will have the feeling that we are doing it in a natural pond, with all the" romantic "aura that these types of baths have and, also, without any of its disadvantages - swirls, dirt or dangers - and with the advantage of knowing that the environment in which we swim, in addition to being clean, does not have any additional or artificial additives. "Natural purification
The plant area is the lung of the natural pool
and it is in this area where the water is purified. Carbonic gases are filtered directly
there, like the various minerals.Waterfalls
A small natural or artificial waterfall can find its ideal place in the environment of the biological pool. Apart from its aesthetic beauty, the waterfall is a means of circulating the water in the pool and preventing it from stagnating.Natural filters
The plants, which constitute the vegetation zone, are important for a particularly efficient natural filtration. Several species of aquatic vegetation, very useful for the functioning of the ecosystem, oxygenate the water in the pool.What experts are saying.
“The filtering carried out by the vegetation is natural, no additive that could be dangerous for the skin, eyes or health intervenes. Furthermore, it does not generate harmful residues”.
— Fernando Pozuelo (landscaper)
“Choosing a biological filtering system is betting on innovation, savings, integration and ecology. Innovation because, although the system has been operating abroad for more than twenty years, experts are still looking for different systems that are more efficient and economical.”
— Fernando Pozuelo (landscaper)
“It is easier to integrate a biological pool into any space, since it can have a traditional look (...) That depends on the style of the garden, the imagination of the landscaper, the taste of the owner ...”

— Fernando Pozuelo
“A biological pool is always close to the vegetation. From an aesthetic point of view, This fact is a great advantage, since it is integrated with the natural environment. The landscaper is not forced to create hard concrete spaces, to separate the area for the bathroom from the rest of the garden, but can integrate both so that they are the same, as it happens in nature. ”
