Swimming pondNew construction - the natural pool for your own garden
A swimming pond is much more than just a pond in the garden that is suitable for swimming and it is also very different from a classic swimming pool. It is a natural place that connects people with nature and transforms the garden into an oasis. Instead of chlorine and chemicals, a living ecosystem takes over water treatment here. This aspect should not be underestimated, as nature delivers a mature performance. Aquatic plants, microorganisms and a well thought-out regeneration zone ensure clear water quality and create sustainable bathing water.
You might think that it is easy to build a swimming pond yourself, but building a new swimming pond is as much about technology as it is about aesthetics, functionality and the fulfilment of your ideas. The size, shape and design depend on your wishes and the conditions of the location.
Why a swimming pond?
A swimming pond is a natural alternative to traditional pools. It offers not only bathing fun, but also tranquillity and beauty. People experience nature up close while swimming in clear bathing water. The combination of swimming area and regeneration zone creates a harmonious and uniform system and ensures a functioning ecosystem.
A swimming pond is therefore not just a place to swim, but also a living Biotop that integrates animals and plants. It is a sustainable solution that requires no chemicals and still offers the highest water quality.
Planning and creation
The construction of a new swimming pond begins with careful planning. Our experts will accompany you from the initial idea to the finished installation.
1. choice of location
The location is crucial to the success of any new pool construction. A well-chosen location influences the water quality, the maintenance effort and the long-term enjoyment of the system. Several hours of sunshine a day promote water circulation and the growth of aquatic plants. At the same time, the water becomes pleasantly warm without any additional technology. A location directly under large trees is less suitable, as leaves and foliage affect the water quality and make cleaning more difficult.
Most important aspects when choosing a location
Solar radiation: Several hours of sunshine a day for good water quality and pleasant temperatures.
Distance to trees: Less foliage and leaves in the water, less maintenance required.
Wind direction: A light wind makes it easier to clean the water surface.
Underground: Stable subsoil for safe excavation and a long-lasting system.
Visual axes: Visibility from the house or garden area for more pleasure and aesthetics.
Size and shape: Adaptation to the conditions of the garden and the wishes of the users.
Access and utilisation: Easy access to the swimming area and harmonious transition to the regeneration zone.
2. design
The shape and size depend on your ideas, but at egli jona ag you will receive expert advice on the options and best possibilities for your garden. The design can be modern-minimalist or close to nature. In principle, a swimming pond can be completely customised and it is possible to implement your own unique ideas.
3. planting
The plants in a new swimming pond are far more than just a decorative element. It plays a key role in water quality, water treatment and the stability of the entire ecosystem. Aquatic plants bind nutrients, prevent excessive algae growth and create habitats for microorganisms and small animals. This makes the swimming pond a functioning Biotop, that does not require the use of chemicals.
With a swimming pond, our experts ensure that the regeneration zone is equipped with a variety of plants. Deep-water plants provide oxygen, reed plants filter the water and shore plants visually connect the pond with the garden. This creates a gentle transition.
4. technology
Even if a swimming pond basically works without chemicals, technology plays an important role in new construction. It can be used to support natural water treatment and ensures that the pond water remains permanently clear. Modern pumps ensure gentle water circulation that continuously flows through the regeneration zone. This allows microorganisms and plants to do their work optimally.
Another technical option is skimmers, which remove leaves and foliage from the surface before they sink and release nutrients. Especially in locations with many trees in the garden, this use is crucial for long-term water quality.
The technology is integrated in such a way that it does not detract from the aesthetics of the pond. Pipes, shafts and service points remain inconspicuous, but make maintenance and cleaning easier.
Care and cleaning of the swimming pond
Even if a swimming pond is built naturally and is virtually self-cleaning, it also requires a certain amount of maintenance to maintain its balance. Cleaning includes removing leaves, dead plants and foreign bodies. Regular water changes can be useful to ensure the water quality.
However, the maintenance effort is significantly less than with classic swimming pools, as nature does a lot of the work. Microorganisms and aquatic plants take care of the biological water treatment. If you don't want to take care of a swimming or bathing pond yourself or would like a thorough and professional cleaning on a regular basis, you can rely on our service.
Consultancy and expert knowledge
When building or converting a swimming pond, the support of a professional is crucial, even if anyone can basically have a pond dug in their garden. Many people underestimate the complexity of construction and handling, as a self-dug swimming pond without specialist knowledge can quickly become a problem.
