Whether indoors or outside, it’s only natural to have questions about chlorine-free swimming pools. At Clear Water Revival, we’re often asked the same questions about the safety, maintenance, heating, environmental impact, and more concerning natural pools and our technology. We’re here to answer your most common queries, backed by science and our years of expertise.
What exactly is a natural swimming pool?
A natural swimming pool has no chemical cleaning agents. Instead, our proprietary Natural Pool Filtration Technology leverages beneficial microbes and minerals, such as magnesium and zinc, to purify the water naturally and nourish your skin and microbiome. The result? Mineral-rich, crystal-clear water that far exceeds EU bathing water standards
How does the filtration system work without chemicals?
Our system uses a three-stage process:
- Ultra-fine filtration: removes dirt, and impurities down to particle sizes of less than 5 microns.
- Bio-filtration: Removes phosphates and other nutrients, starving algae and pathogens, inhibiting growth.
- Ultra Violet: A robust secondary disinfection system.
Are natural pools hygienic and safe?
Absolutely. Our system delivers high water quality without harmful disinfectants, while avoiding associated skin, respiratory, and toxic risks of chemical pool systems. They exceed all EU natural bathing water standards.
Can natural swimming pools be heated?
Yes! Our pools can be heated up to 30 °C (around 86 °F), making them ideal for year-round use in both indoor and outdoor settings
What are the maintenance and running costs like?
Natural pools require far less upkeep than traditional chemical pools. We are passionate about sustainability, and aim to help reduce water and energy wastage, saving you further money on your pool. Plus, there’s no need to handle or store chemicals
Can I have a counter current/swim machine?
Yes! We regularly install counter currents in our natural pools and they are completely compatible. Great for those looking to build a modest sized, low-energy pool who want to maximise training functionality.
