If you want
something out of the ordinary for a pool, why not build a natural
swimming pool? Here are a few tips on how to do just that:
Material
composition
A natural swimming
pool often requires additional finesse than your average swimming
pool. Such pools usually have a lining of bentonite clay that fuses
well to hold the water in; however, the pool stands to dry up if the
ground adjacent to the pool is comprised of dry soil or sand, which
compromises the clay’s integrity. Have your pool contractor fashion
an EPDM liner backed up by a layer of manufactured gravel to add
lining protection.
Area
Natural swimming
pools must have ample space on the property to accommodate plants
that will serve as a filter system; some design experts peg the plant
bed to be roughly 50% of the entire pool area. Slope the pool to
protect against cave-ins on a ratio of one-foot drop per three feet
of length. Plan ahead with defining the swimming and plant zones, and
put in the plants depending on root depth.
Machinery
A reputable NJ
pool company will recommend machine solutions to add efficiency for
projects like a natural swimming pool. For instance, an underwater
pumping and aeration system works in helping circulate water and air
all over the area and assists the plants’ filtration process.
