Natural Pools

I could not resist an invigorating cold dip this morning in this incredible natural pool surrounded by the warm colours of autumn trees. I love that this pool is chemical free. Inspired by a freshwater lake, this pool is filled with low-nutrient, natural water covering the swim area and flooding into a beautifully planted regeneration zone that is a self-modifying, organic system. A phosphorous pump and carbonators keep the water moving, aerated and filtered maintaining the pool’s self- cleansing properties. A natural pool costs about as much to construct as the common chlorine pools. Not having to add chemicals yearly saves hundreds of dollars annualy. A normal pool requires regular input of chemicals, like chlorine, it also uses quite a bit of electricity to run. Natural pools when done well are healthier, economical as well as sustainable. What a big difference to the common chlorinated pools that leave our skin and body drenched with chemicals ! Taking a swim was utterly refreshing, my skin, body and spirit felt vibrant.
