    TYPE I

    PURE NATURE
    This natural swimming pond offers a very rich natural experience, very exuberant flora and a diverse fauna.
    This type does not use filter technique but can use a small cascade, fountain or water figure.
    Periodic cloudy water is normal (like in nature) but the water will be mostly clear. There are no, or low, energy costs and the
    maintenance is done periodically (pruning the planting zones, vacuuming the bottom). The walls of this type of pond will
    not be free of algae and/or biofilm growth. The use of bacteria formulas is strongly recommended to cut maintenance
    and to improve the water quality in general. Pure nature swim ponds offer a very intense natural experience.

TYPE II

NATURAL
Type II is reasonably equal to Type I with the difference that a little technique is used. The
water is mostly clear with low power consumption. Maintenance is done periodically but regular
maintenance is reasonably light (cleaning the skimmer). Technical support is done with skimmers,
sieve filters and UV-C. Natural swimming ponds offer an intense natural experience.

TYPE III

CLEAR
This type of swimming pond offers a natural experience, good planting growth and a diverse fauna.
The carefully chosen technique guarantees clear water all year round. Applied technique: bottom drains,
skimmers, sieve filters, beadfilters and UV-C units. Maintenance is done periodically but regular maintenance is
required (backwashing filters). Clear swimming ponds offer a nice natural experience in clear water.

CRYSTAL CLEAR
Enjoy swimming in natural water with (limited) flora & fauna, possibly separately from the swimming area. This type
of swimming pond is also called a ’Hybrid’ swimming pond. Pond construction and filter technique guarantee crystal
clear water all year round. Energy low pumps run 24/7 during the season. Swim season can be easily extended by using
heat pumps. Regular care and maintenance are necessary. Crystal Clear offers a biological swimming experience.
