In this section, you’ll find answers to the most common questions about permits, costs, construction timelines, maintenance, and converting traditional pools into natural swimming pools.

What are the advantages of a natural swimming pool compared to a traditional pool?

The main advantage is the total absence of chlorine and chemical products. Water is purified biologically through an integrated system of aquatic plants, filtering substrates, and beneficial microorganisms, supported by a technologically advanced recirculation system refined over more than twenty years of experience.
The result is clean, crystal-clear water that is gentle on the skin and eyes, while also environmentally responsible. A natural swimming pool offers a unique bathing experience—true immersion in nature

How much maintenance does a natural swimming pond require?

Maintenance follows the rhythm of the seasons. It includes occasional pruning and care of aquatic plants, along with simple routine checks on the technical system.
For cleaning the bottom and walls of the swimming area, robot pool cleaners can be used—just like in a traditional swimming pool

Do natural swimming pools attract mosquitoes or bothersome insects?

Natural pools primarily attract beneficial wildlife such as dragonflies and pollinators—clear indicators of a healthy ecosystem.
Mosquitoes rarely proliferate because the water is constantly moving, thanks to the recirculation system often enhanced with small waterfalls and streams.

How much does it cost to build a organic pool?

Costs vary depending on size, terrain features, and the desired finishes—such as pathways, beach areas, water features, and lighting.
After an initial consultation and cost estimate, a detailed quotation is prepared following an on-site technical assessment.

How long does it take to build a natural swimming pool?

The average construction time for a turnkey project is 20 -25 working days.
This includes every phase: excavation, waterproofing, installation of the technical system, planting of aquatic vegetation, and final testing (with guarantee).

Are building permits required to construct a natural swimming pool?

Permitting requirements vary from one municipality to another.
The absence of reinforced concrete and chemicals often simplifies the process. In many cases, a SCIA (Certified Start of Activity Notice) is sufficient.
However, in areas with landscape or hydrogeological restrictions, a Building Permit or additional authorization may be required.

What does the design of a biopool include?

Every project is fully customized and may include:
• Analysis of the functional zones (swimming area, regeneration zone, pathways)
• Plan drawings and technical sections
• Photorealistic renderings
• Technical system layout
• Planting list and material specifications
• 3D video presentation
• Garden design, if required

Can a traditional pool be converted into a biopool?

Yes, in most cases it is possible—this includes the restoration of old water tanks or agricultural reservoirs.
Sometimes the existing basin must be adapted or resized to incorporate the regeneration zone essential for the ecological balance of the new natural system.

What is the recommended minimum size for a natural swimming pond?

To ensure proper system functionality, the ideal minimum surface area is generally at least 40 m².
For smaller spaces, we recommend an alternative: a saltwater pool without reinforced concrete, which still maintains a low environmental impact

Can ornamental fish be introduced into a natural swimming pond?

Natural swimming ponds are designed to maintain pure, safe bathing water. Introducing fish increases the organic load and can compromise the efficiency of the natural purification process.
For fish, we recommend a separate ornamental pond, designed with a different filtration system.
