Chemical-free pools - swimming in harmony with nature
Chemical-free pools, also as Living Pools are the modern answer to the desire for sustainability and health. Instead of chlorine or other additives, biological systems take over the water treatment. The result of this natural water treatment is crystal-clear water without a regeneration zone as in a swimming pond.
Advantages:
- No chemicals, ideal for sensitive skin and children
- Sustainable and ecological
- Pleasant bathing feeling like in a natural body of water
The initial investment costs are often no higher for biological filter technology than for chemical technology. However, no subsequent addition of chemicals is necessary, which means that the costs are quickly amortised. In addition, the water quality always remains very good and pleasant.
Infinity pool - luxury with boundless views
The Infinity Pool is a symbol of luxury and modern architecture. The surface of the water seems to flow over the edge, creating a spectacular view of the landscape that is often only seen in holiday resorts or advertising.
Advantages:
- a unique look, especially on slopes or properties with a view
- Impressive combination of design and technology
- High aesthetic value
The construction type is somewhat more complex and requires higher costs depending on the design. Precise planning and high-quality technology are essential for this type of pool. An infinity pool is therefore an exclusive choice for people who prioritise luxury and design.
Skimmer pool - the classic with simple technology
The Skimmerpool is a classic among private swimming pools. A skimmer sucks up the water surface and thus ensures cleaning.
Advantages:
- Proven technology, uncomplicated and reliable
- More cost-effective than overflow or infinity pools
- Flexible in terms of construction and choice of materials
The water surface is slightly lower than the pool edge, making the visual effect less impressive compared to an infinity or overflow pool. However, thanks to its functionality, flexibility and modern appearance, the skimmer pool is a proven option for transforming the garden into an impressive swimming oasis.
Prefabricated pool - a quick solution for the garden
A Pre-designed pool is supplied as a complete pool and inserted directly into the ground. GRP or polypropylene versions are particularly popular.
Advantages:
- Quick assembly
- Smooth surface, comfortable swimming and splashing around
- Various sizes and shapes available
Even if transport can be more complex depending on the garden location, especially for larger pools, prefabricated pools impress with their modern appearance. They are an uncomplicated solution, but offer fewer customisation options in terms of shape and size.
Stainless steel pool - Elegant pool materials for luxury and durability
The Stainless steel pool is considered the epitome of luxury. With its shiny surface and clean lines, the stainless steel basin blends perfectly into modern gardens.
Advantages:
- High durability and hygiene
- Easy to clean, as hardly any dirt accumulates
- Particularly suitable for infinity or overflow pools
Despite the higher material costs for the stainless steel pool, stainless steel pools are an exclusive choice for modern gardens and make a statement for design and comfort with their unmistakable appearance.
Natural stone pool - timeless elegance in the garden
A Natural stone pool looks like a piece of landscape. With materials such as granite or porcelain stoneware, it blends harmoniously into the garden and offers a very special flair.
Advantages:
- Unique look, natural and elegant
- High value and individuality
- Durable with proper care
Even if the construction method is more complex and, depending on the material, involves higher costs, the natural stone pool offers a special aura. If you want to combine naturalness, sustainability and luxury, a natural stone pool is a stylish solution for a unique bathing experience.
Granite pool - robustness and elegance
The Granite pool is a special form of natural stone pool. Granite is extremely hard-wearing and gives the pool an elegant, timeless look.
Advantages:
- Very durable and robust
- Noble surface that enhances the garden
- Easy to clean and hygienic
PP pools - modern polypropylene pools
PP basin are made of polypropylene, a robust and flexible plastic. These polypropylene basins are customised and offer many design options.
Advantages:
- Flexible shape and size design
- Good cost structure
- Easy to clean and durable
GRP pool - glass fibre reinforced plastic for modern pool types
The GFK-Pool is a prefabricated pool made of glass fibre reinforced plastic. It is supplied as a whole and inserted into the ground.
Advantages:
- Quick assembly
- Comfortable material
- Good durability with proper care
Foil pool - proven solution with variable design
The Foil pool is another classic in which the pool is lined with a special foil.
Advantages:
- inexpensive
- Flexible design of shape and size
- Replacement of the film is possible
The disadvantages are that the liner has to be replaced regularly, which means more maintenance over the years. Liner pools are practical and inexpensive, but less durable.
Concrete pool - customised design with maximum freedom
The Concrete pool is also a traditional type of construction and allows almost any shape and size. They usually form the basis for a liner pool.
Advantages:
- Customised planning and design
- High stability and durability
- Integration of accessories or modern technology
Construction requires a great deal of expertise and must be carried out by experts. Concrete pools are robust and customised solutions. They are usually lined with a foil.
Tips for choosing the right pool type
Choosing the right pool depends on many factors, including budget, choice of material, maintenance requirements and desired appearance. If you are looking for sustainability, opt for Living Pool technology or natural stone variants. Stainless steel and infinity pools are ideal for luxury and clear architecture. If you want a quick yet modern solution, you can opt for prefabricated pools made of GRP or PP. Concrete and liner pools offer classic elegance.
Ask yourself questions such as: Should the pool primarily be used for swimming, or is swimming with children the main focus? Is it about luxury and design, or a natural oasis in the garden? Should the pool fit in with the existing design concept or should the rest of the garden also be remodelled?
Having a clear idea makes the decision easier.
