The rise of organic pools – also known as ecological pools, eco-pools, natural pools, biological swimming ponds, or ecological basins – aligns with a global movement towards responsible and environmentally friendly consumption. But what exactly is an organic pool, and why is it attracting more and more nature and wellness enthusiasts?
Why Organic Pools Are Revolutionizing Swimming
Organic pools stand out for their innovative and sustainable features. Here are ten reasons to adopt them:
- Natural Purification: Uses plants, stones, gravel, and sand to filter water without chemicals.
- Gentle on Skin and Eyes: Naturally soft water that prevents irritation.
- Biodiversity Promotion: Creates a welcoming ecosystem for various species (frogs, dragonflies, etc.).
- Energy Efficiency: Autonomous operation that minimizes electricity consumption.
- Environmental Support: Reduces the use of harmful chemicals.
- Harmony with Nature: Integrates a swimming space into a soothing natural setting.
- Sleek and Authentic Design: Aesthetics that reflect simplicity and a harmonious coexistence with nature.
- Sustainable and Self-Sufficient System: Easy maintenance through natural and ecological processes.
- Wellness Invitation: An atmosphere that encourages relaxation and self-reconnection.
- Positive Impact on the Environment: A concrete commitment to regenerating natural spaces.
An organic pool is much more than just a swimming area—it’s an invitation to live in harmony with our environment while enjoying a healthy and natural space.
The Ecological Pool at Orion Treehouses: A Model of Sustainable Excellence
At Orion Treehouses, the eco-pool goes beyond a simple swimming basin. A true ecological oasis, it offers:
Exceptional Natural Purification
The water is purified through an ingenious system using plants, stones, gravel, and sand. This method prevents irritation while ensuring impeccable water quality.
A Living and Dynamic Ecosystem
In spring, the gentle chorus of our little treefrogs and, in summer, the dance of dragonflies bring the aquatic space to life. A waterfall and fountain provide continuous oxygenation, keeping the water clear and vibrant.
A Place for Connection and Sharing
Nestled between the treehouses, the pool is complemented by a welcoming terrace and a large communal table, inviting guests to share a coffee or dinner in a relaxed setting.
“Compared with your average chlorinated pool, it feels like you’re swimming in Evian.”
— Richard Hammond, The Guardian, August 19, 2006
