I have fallen totally in love with the new natural swimming pools ... ch-lore free .
'City Ponds' have made the first urban one in St John's woods.
City pools are technology, not design based so you can choose whatever design you want from ultra chic and design to natural unsophisticated....
30 square meters is the current minimum space. But surely that will shrink as our desire grows stronger to have one.
They can be heated.You can convert an existing pool.
Clear, clean water is the naturally occurring state in ponds and lakes if the body of water is large enough and deep enough. Swimming ponds are purposely built to emulate this state by using the natural purifying properties of plants and micro-organisms to produce clear, clean and healthy swimming water.
The water is kept circulating slowly by differences in temperature in the shallower and deeper zones, and also by a small pump. When water leaves the swimming area it passes through a skimmer where any surface debris such as leaves are removed. Then in the plant zone (also known as the regeneration zone) the water is further cleaned through natural processes in a number of different ways. For example in and around the roots transformation takes place on a micro-bacterial level, whereas the leaves of different plants take out different types of nutrients, important to restrict the growth of algae.
An example of a must have of the future: an outdoor cypress tub.
It would seem the US hot tub thing is gaining ground here though there are few 'design' versions available.
Things are changing and ultra simple tubs inspired by Japanese models is one direction the movement is taking.
The Schimmerchild Tub , from the spring will be available for outside with all the accessories like steps,backrests, bubble jets etc...www.schimmerchild.co.uk
By B. Guichard ... As they say, beauty speaks for itself.
