Living pools and natural pools are gaining popularity in New Zealand as chemical-free alternatives to traditional swimming pools.
Natural pools use a plant-filled regeneration zone for organic filtration, creating a pond-like aesthetic. In contrast, living pools use an underground bio-filter system for a more contemporary design. Both options provide "living water" that is gentle on skin and eyes. Natural Pools NZ reports strong interest, having completed around 50 eco-friendly projects across the country.
