About Natural Swimming Pools

Remember how glorious it was to find a swimming hole, somewhere out in the woods, where nobody else would ever find it? Now you can have one in your own backyard. Natural swimming pools, sometimes referred to as green pools or organic pools, recreate the back-to-nature feeling of that old swimming hole. Typically built as two connected pools — one for plants and one for swimming — natural swimming pools are essentially self-cleaning and offer a wide variety of other benefits (we’ll get to those in a minute).
Before we get to those benefits, we want to clear the air about a few things. You might be thinking that a natural swimming pool sounds kind of gross, with mud between your toes and a pond of stagnant water gathering bugs and turning brackish. We promise, those concerns will totally evaporate once you see how it looks in your yard. There are many misconceptions about natural pools, and we happened to come across an awesome source the debunks all of those myths and casts natural pools in a pretty good light. If you’re a little iffy on the idea of a natural pool, click here to have those concerns settled.

Environmental Benefits of Natural Swimming Pools

So, if you clicked over to that article, you have a pretty good idea of what a natural pool can do for you. But what about their impact on the environment? This blog post is about Earth Day, after all. Well first of all, there’s the obvious in that you’re building your own little ecosystem in your backyard. Adding plants to your landscape is always an environmental plus. Mostly, natural pools are all about the energy and chemicals that you don’t use on a regular pool system. There are no filters or heaters that’ll rack up your energy bill and use valuable resources. There are no chlorine or pH maintenance chemicals. It’s all natural. Like shopping in the organic section of the grocery store, shopping for an organic pool with Rhine is just as beneficial. Maybe not as directly to your health, but definitely to the health of this big ol’ rock we call home.
At Rhine Pools, we stop at nothing to fully realize your dreams of building a backyard oasis. If that means talking about adding a natural swimming pool to your property, we’re all ears. We’re excited to take on any challenge you may bring on. Just give us a call to get the conversation started.
