balanced natural principle of
regeneration using flora and fauna to keep the water oxygenated
using flora and fauna to keep the water oxygenated and reduce the built up of harmful algae. A wall is
constructed between the regeneration area and the swimming area.
Another type of bio-pool
relies on the natural flow of water. These types of pools are ideal
where there is an existing stream or water source, however with the
installation of pumps can be constructed just about anywhere.
The secret of this second type of
bio-pool relies on the natural reactions of the sun and water.
Installing a small water fall, with the right gradient drop, ensures
the water receives the optimum amount of UV rays to purify the water
killing any type of harmful algae or bacteria.
This kind of pool was made famous by
travel writer Chris Stewart. Chris, who moved to the Alpajarra
mountains region of Spain, constructed this type of swimming pool on
his land and chronicled it in his second book 'A Parrot in a Pepper
Tree'. |
