BioNova® is one of the leading installers of Natural Pools and Ponds based in Europe with a global network of Partners on 6 continents who work synergistically to push the state-of-the-art of Natural Swimming Pool design, construction, aesthetics and maintenance. With decades of experience they are one place to start if you are seriously thinking about this water feature.
Conversion of your existing chemical-pool can also be easily accomplished. You just need enough space to create a regeneration zone approximately equal to the size of your existing pool. The regeneration zone will vary in depth and will have aquatic plants rooted hydroponically in substrate. Then you must modify the plumbing on your pool to move water from your pool through the regeneration zone.
If you have questions a good source is a blog website sponsored by two industry experts out of the UK; Michael Littlewood of Eco Design Scape and David Nettleton of Clear Water Revival-on Natural Swimming Pools. The best book to show the look and background of these beauties is by pioneer, Michael Littlewood, called Natural Swimming Pools.
Or, better yet, visit Total Habitat, the best known promoter of Natural Pools here in the States. You can download his e-book for more information on the actual building of your very own Natural Pool! Mick, the owner is a wealth of information and provides services from consultation to complete installation all over the United States.
If you have a pool, or are thinking of adding a pool, I encourage you to research and consider installing a natural pool that is safer for you and for the environment…Plus a Little Bit of Beauty™ for sure, COME ON AMERICA, GET WITH THE PROGRAM!

This could not have been MORE timely! Truly, 5 min. ago I paid the pool man for two weeks worth of “green pool” remedies, only to find I need a new pump… it won’t PRIME! Time, money, YIKES!… not to mention the way your skin feels when you hit a chlorine “shocked” pool! I’m so ready for a natural pool, and seriously, without this information from you… I would NEVER have even considered nor known where to start. Irene you are a dream resource! AND BTW… my house looks amazing after your suggestions. Looking forward to paint colors (I’m liking pale yellow ALOT!

I’m glad you like the yellow Jolin. It’s such a happy color, sunny, warm and empowering. All good things in our home. I know that when you’re ready you will re-vamp your pool into a natural pond pool, which will be perfect for Fairy Terra. Lot’s of nature/water fairies you know

Wow, those look great! I hate the idea of swimming in a heavily chlorinated pool. It kind of reminds me of when I was a teen in Pennsylvania swimming in the strip mines that were filled with pure spring water. Well, except that the strip mines were about 150 feet deep and there were sometimes rattlesnakes sunning themselves on the rocks nearby.

Same feel Joe, but no rattlesnakes, and they look a lot prettier! Plus, if you still live in Pennsylvania, you can ice skate on them in the winter…not bad!

Wow this is a great idea? How do you keep it up? Do you clean it from time to time or do you let it do its own thing?

Hi Rosie, This pool has a pump to keep things stirred up and flowing through the plant life. But in general there is no cleaning. It’s more like a pond then a pool, but cleaner, depending on the lining you use
