What are biological pools?

Biological pools are places of relaxation

The biological pools or bio pools represent the latest trend in architecture and exterior design. These are natural pools, made with exclusively natural materials, which offer a pleasant bath in fresh water and in an environment with a relaxing and therapeutic effect. More and more people are moving away from a lifestyle closely linked to chemicals that have usually accompanied our lives.

For the purification of the bio pool (phyto biodepuration), oxygenating and purifying plants are used, as well as specific substrates capable of creating a natural oxygenation through the microorganisms present. In addition to the natural purification area, there is, of course, the bathing area, which visually forms part of the whole body of water, although it has a well-defined submerged limit. Thus, the water in this area is always perfectly clear and crystal clear.

Characteristics of biological pools

Today pools have been invented that do not need chlorine to be purified, but live plants. The background is not the classic faux blue and if you touch the edges in the water, you won't have that cold concrete feel. These are phyto-purified biological pools, which are capable of cleaning themselves, that is, they do not need chemical products to stay clean..

This is achieved through biological filtration of aquatic plants., which purify the water and use the collected substances to grow. Capable of giving life to the microorganisms present. In addition to the purification part, there is the part where you can dive, which forms the entire body of water, limited only by the bottom. In this way, the water is always crystal clear. The bio pool is the most advanced technology in architecture and exterior design. The pool is totally natural, in fact it is built with environmental materials in such a way that it provides relaxation in fresh water.

The innovative biological pool is undoubtedly a valid alternative to the traditional ones, and differs from them thanks to the natural insertion that characterizes them., forming a splendid and environmentally friendly result. So the advantages of a phyto-purified pool are many:

  • Perfect integration into the environment to make it look as natural as possible.
  • The bio pool does not need to be covered during the cold months, so it is always a decorative element.
  • It is healthy and is not harmful to the environment and living beings, both flora and fauna.
  • The natural pool can also be built in those places where there is an environmental limitation that does not allow the construction of normal pools.
  • All the materials used for its construction are natural and respectful with the environment.
  • Bathing is possible in all seasons, always taking into account how cold you personally feel.

Therefore, bio pools are ideal for those who love and respect nature, because in addition to being used for bathing, they are a true ecosystem with flora and fauna, with a continuous circle of aquatic plants, in short, a place full of life , therapeutic and especially relaxing for people. Bathing in a phyto-pool is like bathing in a real pond, feeling the pleasure of clean water without the annoying smell of typical chlorine of artificial pools.

Natural pools are the ideal solution for those who want to create an oasis of peace and relaxation in their totally ecological and eco-sustainable garden, since only natural materials guaranteed and certified by associations committed to respecting the environment are used. Its design is usually the same for any biological pool and You can decorate them as you want as long as it is respecting their essence. The natural.

This type of phyto-purified pools are always divided into two different areas: one specific for bathing and the other dedicated to plants., both protected from leaks by a waterproof sheet hidden under the seabed. The bathing area does not contain aquatic plants, but the final oxygenation of the water takes place in this area. On the other hand, the specific surface area for aquatic plants should be approximately 30% of the total size of the pool, preferably higher than the bathing area.

In this way, the water flows from one area to another creating a small waterfall, which allows the water to become more oxygenated. It is important that, in the zone between the two areas, there are shallow peripheral riparian zones to help regenerate the water.. To complete the system there is a recirculation pump, which is essential to circulate the water in a closed environment. Depending on the user's needs, there may be surface removal systems or other specific accessories for each occasion.
