A natural pool has a swimming area and regeneration zones, separated by low submerged walls. The regeneration zones are home to beautiful water plants which filter and purify the water naturally keeping it hygienically clean and crystal clear. Natural pools can start from 40m2 up to a swimming lake.
Our natural pools are fitted with Biotop water balancing technology and are easy to maintain. Designed to fit your lifestyle and blend into your garden, a natural pool can be formal, contemporary or naturalistic in design. The water's edge may be finished with a fringe of marginal plants, or choose a formal look with stone coping.
Most natural pools have a sun deck or paved area as a living space adjacent to the water. It’s not just about swimming - a natural pool is a magical place for family fun, relaxing beside the water, alfresco dining and outdoor living. It changes with the seasons too, with especially beautiful reflections on the still surface in winter.
