Awesome Having a natural pool in your backyard is easier than ever

Ever considered going ala natural with your swimming pool? It's so much easier than you think. Natural swimming pools are self cleaning pools that combine a swimming area and a water garden in one. The materials from which these pools are made vary as widely as the designs. Your pool can lined with reinforced polyethylene or rubber and depending on the aesthetic appeal you're seeking, you can make your pool look modern, antique or natural and surrounded by vegetation and plants. With a little imagination and money you can construct your own rainforest grotto in your backyard.

Do your homework before you talk to a pool contractor to make certain they understand the intricacies of what's needed with the pool skimmer and pump. The circulation in the pool will draw the water through a wall of rocks, loose gravel or tiles, which friendly bacteria attach themselves – the bacteria and rock/tile acts as an additional biological filter.

Rainwater, which typically messes with the balance of the chemicals in the pool water, is not a factor with natural pools. Also if the pool springs a leak or overflows the edges, the water won't harm the plant life or grass that surrounds it. For homeowners who want to turn their backyard into an oasis, rather than simply "having a pool," a natural pool is the way to go as it adds to the natural environment of your backyard, especially if it is lush with plants.

 Here are some benefits of a natural versus a conventional swimming pool:

You can use stone or clay instead of concrete or fiberglass
You won't need a complicated water filtration system
The pool doesn't need to use harmful chemicals in the water – aquatic plants take the place of chemicals
Less expensive to maintain than conventional pools
Low maintenance
Provides a natural habitat for water wildlife such as dragonflies, and frogs (make certain, though that it doesn't become a home for mosquitoes)
A natural pool makes a beautiful, impressive statement

A natural pool works best if your pool won't be full of children and if you're not planning to host a lot of pool parties. If you're looking for a pool that offers an oasis and a place to simply relax and unwind, you might want to consider a natural pool.
