The modern swimming pool, despite its ability to refresh and relax, is usually a harsh, chlorine-filled experience that leaves one with red eyes and irritated skin. A healthier alternative can be found in companies that specialize in natural swimming pools (such as Total Habitat in the US and gartenArt in the UK). These companies assist in the creation of bodies of water that are chemical-free, using organic filtration systems which are friendly to the surrounding environment. Judging from the photos and case studies on the aforementioned sites, a natural swimming area has the potential to make one’s backyard look absolutely stunning as well. What’s more, one forgoes the annual costs of chlorine and chemicals associated with owning a standard issue pool.
