Natural Swimming Pool/Ponds
Whether you call them natural pools, eco pools, organic pools, pool-ponds, swimming ponds, swimming holes or NSP's (for short), our Natural Swimming Pool/Ponds are chemical-free, low-maintenance alternatives to traditional chlorine/salt pools. The water in our natural pools is clean, crystal-clear and filtered naturally using a robust built-in biological filtration system. Instead of dumping toxic (and expensive) chemicals into a sterile, chlorinated pool each summer, surround yourself with the beauty and tranquility of nature (and enjoy it all year round). Let our experienced design team help you to create the Natural Swimming Pool/Pond of your dreams and start swimming the natural way!

Have you ever seen how many pounds of chemicals go into a typical swimming pool? Have you ever read the warning labels on the chemicals used to sterilize typical swimming pools? The basic philosophy behind water quality in a typical swimming pool is to kill everything short of killing the swimmer. There is another way. Visualize this: You are lazily floating, toes up, in a pond of sparkling clear running water, surrounded by wild grasses. Hummingbirds land on nearby trumpet flowers and the scent of jasmine and mint is in the air. Is this a dream or some mid-day fantasy? Neither! You may just be part of a new trend in swimming the natural way, without chlorine or other harsh chemicals in the water. In our Natural Swimming Pool/Ponds we harness nature's own processes, with powerful built-in biological filters, to produce clean, clear water. If you have ever had the opportunity to swim in a crystal clear lake or stream, then you know the sense of bliss that only nature can supply. Swimming is much more enjoyable without burning eyes and chemical odor. Plus, our NSP's are pet, fish & kid friendly!
