Everyone is now talking about organically purified open-air pools as an alternative to chlorinated installations. However, do they represent a genuine alternative to conventional pool water purification using chlorine and could they even make open-air pools more attractive?
Because the demands placed on installations in the hotel, camping and wellness sector are naturally higher, we recommend choosing the BioNova® Vario or BioNova® Pool solutions here. These approaches to pool construction are also extremely suitable for publicly accessible facilities. What is more, swimming pond constructors benefit from a lot more design possibilities, meaning that the organic swimming facility can be adapted to the establishment's overall look and feel.
In principle, organically-purified open-air pools can be used for all water-sports activities. It is, of course, also possible to install other attractions familiar from chlorinated fun pools. In most cases, slides of every possible size and shape, jumping rocks or towers, liana ropes, climbing walls, splash and massage showers, heating, counter-current systems or pool play equipment for small children are installed. There are often also small hideaways for visitors seeking rest and relaxation.

Unfortunately, outdoor bathing is only possible in northern Europe for a few months of the year at the most. Outside of the bathing season, the pools in chlorinated facilities have to be emptied and cannot be used for the rest of the year. Empty and unattended in this way, they are no great pleasure to look at. This is a particular problem for hotels and guest houses because beautiful grounds are absolutely vital whatever the season in order to remain competitive in the often hard-fought hospitality sector. Swimming and bathing ponds or organically purified natural pools make the ideal alternative to conventional, traditional outdoor swimming pools. The vegetation planted around the purification areas of these facilities makes them the highlight of any garden all year round – because guests are always ready to enjoy nature!

And during the summer months, the organic variant has no drawbacks compared to a chemically purified pool. On the contrary: Because they have no need for chemical cleaning agents, guests and operators alike tend to find swimming ponds to be the more attractive alternative. While the guests enjoy bathing in pure, soft, crystal-clear water, the operator saves hard cash. Because the water in organically purified installations flows in a constant cycle, the expenses for wastewater and refilling with freshwater are reduced. The ecological system is also able to withstand enormous strains, such as large numbers of users or extended periods of high temperatures.
