Description

Natural swimming pools are the biggest news for gardeners since green roofs. The water is cleaned by aquatic plants instead of chlorine so it is gentle on the eyes and healthy for swimmers. These self-cleaning ecosystems are beautiful to look at and provide a valuable water source for dragonflies, honeybees and other beneficial insects. Wolfram Kircher has researched extensively into the low-nutrientdependent plants that are needed for the surrounds of natural swimming pools and the high-nutrient dependent plants that are required for the regeneration zone. In the book he demonstrates how to maintain the nutrient level in perfect balance to keep down the algae down and water sparkling. The authors have installed pools for decades and trialled different systems and plants to come up with the best possible designs. Read more

    • not an engineering guide, or diy instructions, but more in depth than inspirational
This book will not actually give you plans for building your natural swimming pool, but the presentation and pictures are very lovely. A satiny texture to the book cover is also very nice from a tactile point of view. As for content, I like the flow of information. I think you could use this if you are technically minded to help in making good decisions when drafting your own plans (sizing, hydrology, etc). The end section with the case studies I feel were the most enlightening, because they show what HAS been done and in what context. There is a bit of pricing information, but I would say these are ballpark figures for you to have an idea of the feasibility of different styles. Same goes for the plant guides, in that obviously what works specifically for your microclimate will vary, but the author gives advice on why different plant groupings work well together. ... show more

    • Informative
If you're wanting to take NPs seriously, buy this, you'll want it on hand. Very technical but there's a wide variety of design choices you'll need to make. Good illustrations, plants chart and the case studies helped me create my unique design plan.

    • Best info out there!
This book is legit! Some just skim over with pretty pictures, this one has case studies showing what goes into those beautiful pictures, what part of the world they’re in, the rough pool plan, details on components used in each pool, how to build if you are okay with it looking like a pond, or want it to be crystal clear like a normal pool, and anywhere in between. ... show more

    • Excellent book.
I am a pond owner and this book would be good for anyone thinking to install. It may get a bit technical, however you don't need to know as much as this book provides. The filtration beds and aeriation are key.

Very detailed. I like that it spends so much time discussing the chemistry of natural pools. It has lots of case studies you could use as a guide.
