Natural swimming pool : how it works
The idea is to create a zone of swimming in a pond. This zone will be deep and large enough for your needs for swimming. Around the zone of swimming, one finds the zone of plantation known as of regeneration and/or lagunage. A retaining wall between these two sectors maintains them distant. The retaining wall finishes approximately 30 cm below water surface so that water can freely run zone of swimming in the zone of regeneration and/or lagunage. Of a visual prospect, this allows the zone swimming to amalgamate in the total feeling of natural pond.
The zone of regeneration apart from the sector of swimming is filled of suitable aggregate which makes it possible the bacteria to abound while also clinging to the surface. Be not worried by the bacteria because they are essential. They are charged to clean water. A variety of bacteria breaks up any organic matter releasing the water of nitrates and phosphates. Above the aggregates, the plants feed from these nitrates and phosphates. The plants go from those which prefer deeper water such as alive lilies with those in the margins and the sectors of marsh. Pipes filter under the zone of regeneration allow water cleaned to turn over to the zone of swimming by the use of a pump. Other components in the system of piping include/understand skimmers to remove sheets and the large remains, filters for finer particles and filters UV for an additional safety.
The bacteria which carry out work in the zone of regeneration are aerobic, càd that they need oxygen. Oxygen is drawn by the plants via their systems of root but an additional ventilation is always one more and can be brought via a device such as a water fall or a fountain. In general, the sector of filtration should be presue as large as the zone of swimming. If your space is critical, or if the design does not allow you pasd' to have a zone of filtration, filters bio are then available. They are boxes filled with mesh in which are present the bacteria. Water passes then through the filter and is cleaned. Do not forget however, if you test that your biological swimming pool resembles a natural pond, that you need sufficient space to devote to the zone of regeneration to carry out the desired effect.
The design of the biological swimming pools can be changed. What is described above is the basic concept but the only factor of control is its imagination. A biological swimming pool can be very modern and minimalist. The zone of swimming can be separate at the zone of regeneration. The possibilities are without end.
