Swimming pond loose shape

In this fairytale setting, this swimming pond is very natural. The pond was constructed for dual use; not only the owners can refresh themselves here, the animals from the region also come here to drink and many birds come to wash themselves.
The swimming area measures 18m x 28m and is 1.5m to 2m deep. The filtering of the water is done in a completely biological way by means of lava, irises, coco gut and a circulation pump. The stepping stones act not only as a separation between the swimming and filter area, but also as a natural skimmer. This causes the surface dirt to float faster to the filter zone. Due to the simple edge finishing with a flexible hose to protect the foil, the pond integrates nicely into the landscape.
