A swimming pond, also known as a natural swimming pool, is cleaned mechanically and with the help of aquatic plants. Each pool is divided into two areas: one is suitable for swimming, while the second is richly planted and looks like a garden pond. This regeneration zone is located next to the swimming area and connected by a pump. Aquatic plants purify the water, so chlorinated cleaners are not needed.

Because the cleaning is handled by mechanical systems and plants, a swimming pond is an appealing choice for home gardeners. It can also help avoid the dry skin and red eyes often caused by chlorinated pools. The planted zone is created in a separate basin so garden dirt can be kept out of the water. The water is analyzed, and suitable aquatic plants are chosen according to the results. Bacteria in the plant roots help reduce pollutants, keeping the water suitable for swimming. You do not need to replace all the water every year, and cleaning costs are lower. Careful planning is essential so the closed ecosystem functions properly. The cost of a biological pond can vary depending on terrain and project size, but as a rough guide you should expect significant costs per square meter.
