Pool Construction With Natural Filtration And Custom Features

by Franklin Wilson

Natural filtration is a great solution if you are planning on building a custom pool. Today, the design of your pool can combine modern technology and a micro-ecosystem to keep the water clean and chemical-free. The following pool construction information will help with the custom design with natural filtration.

Designing the Swimming Area of the Pool

Your natural pool's swimming area is important because there are a couple of options for custom designs. The first option is to create a swimming area that is much like a conventional pool with rectangular, round, or oval shapes. There are also options for custom designs that look more like a natural swimming hole or pond rather than a conventional pool.

Natural Filtration Designs and Changes to Landscaping

The natural filtration system is the most important component of your custom pool design. This system needs to be precisely designed to provide efficient filtration of the water in your pool. There are several components of your natural pool filtration design, including:

  • Main swimming areas
  • Skimmers and pool drains (pond-style systems are often used)
  • Multiple pump systems to circulate water
  • Sand, water features, and aquatic life to filter water

These are some of your natural pool design components that are needed to keep the water in the swimming area clean.

The Equipment Natural Pool Filtration Systems Will Need

Just like with the equipment for a conventional pool, the natural filtration system also needs pumps and other systems like skimmers to help keep the water clean. Some of the equipment that you are going to need for a natural pool design includes:

  • Pond-style skimmers to remove surface debris
  • The main pump with multiple smaller high-pressure pumps
  • Drain systems with safety design to keep water circulating

This is some of the equipment that you are going to need for a natural pool design. The right equipment is important to keep the pool clean and prevent problems like algae blooms.

Hot Tubs and Other Extra Features for a Natural Pool Design

Hot tubs are another feature that you may want to add to your pool design. The hot tub feature for your natural pool can have an independent filtration and heating system to keep it separate from the swimming area. This can be good if you want a conventional hot tub model. The conventional spa can be integrated into the natural pool area to make it appear to be part of the natural pool area. This is the best way to ensure the pool stays clean and make it easier to maintain the hot tub.

The installation of a natural filtration system will help make your pool more efficient and chemical-free. If you are ready to start your natural pool project, contact a swimming pool construction service to begin your project's design phase.

At the end of a long, hot day, nothing feels better than sinking into a cool pool of water. But think about all it takes to build and maintain that pool. A pool contractor had to first design the pool before pouring the concrete that comprises it. Then, as the pool ages, someone needs to make repairs when the surfaces starts peeling. That's not to mention the daily maintenance, like checking chlorine levels or scrubbing away algae. Pool contractors have an important job, and they're the reason you can take a relaxing swim.
