Can swimming pools be eco-friendly?

As the season changes, swimming pools become quintessential symbols. Nothing can be more relaxing than a dip in the pool, perhaps you want to do it with an inflatable swan by your side.

So, you are worried because someone just suggested you add some eco-friendly features to your pool. Wait, what did you just say, an eco-friendly swimming pool? How can a swimming pool be environmentally friendly or not so friendly? Of course, you do not want to ruin your swimming fun by installing some eco-friendly upgrades. Do not worry, let us explain ourselves here.

If you have heard about any natural pool installation in North Vancouver, this is it. These natural pools play an important role because the traditional pools invoke the trifecta of environmental destruction – high water use, high energy use, and harmful chemicals. It is common with all the home systems; the specific impact of the pools depends on the electric and water sources.

So, how do you reduce the impact of your pool on the environment? The first thing you can do is to convert it into a rainwater storage tank. But you do not want to give up on your backyard appeal. Here is what you can do.

1. To save your pool and water, it is better to cover it up. This is true for hot and arid regions where the sun is too hot that is evaporates the water.

2. Go natural. In place of electrical systems to clean your water, use natural elements such as plants, stones and sand to clean water.
