The concept of swimming ponds is slowly breaking into the market. As people continue to look for what's organic and natural, most consumers nowadays prefer that ‘natural thing' more and more, be it in food, interior and exterior designs.
Even the concept of the swimming pool is being influenced by this market trend. In Europe, Australia and emerging in North America, the idea of the swimming pond is slowly becoming a sensation.
In concept, the swimming pond is actually an expanded garden pond. Â An area is designated as a swimming zone while around it is the area where the fresh water is allowed to regenerate. Â A membrane or wall separates the two parts of the pond and water is circulated through a perforated pipeline system.
In the area where the water is allowed to retain its natural state, plants and other greenery is allowed to grow. Fish and other organisms are present in this area to assume the natural flow of a fresh water ecosystem.
As the water is allowed to regenerate, it goes through the pipeline and gets circulated through the swimming area. This "natural" water allows a unique feel of nature in one's backyard.
Adopting an ecosystem means facing both advantages and disadvantages. It is easy to keep an ordinary pool clean and free from parasites with the use of chemical treatments. However, a pond lake is harder to keep from contamination because you can't treat the water without harming plants, useful microorganisms and the whole ecosystem in your pond.
A great way to maintain the natural feel of a swimming pond is to use natural and organic-based products. Amoeba and algae are purveyors of diseases and an infested swimming pond may cause serious health risks.
Enzyme treatment is a very effective method in maintaining the clarity and visibility of the water whether in swimming ponds or as a lake management strategy. Algae and other organisms are highly reduced since the enzyme allows a huge increase in the oxygen-content of the water.
Slime and organic material are also lessened with the increased digestion set forth by these enzymes. Plant health is strengthened as the natural course of the ecosystem is not disrupted by unwanted outbreaks like algal bloom.
Aeration also increases circulation. It prevents water stagnation allowing organic matter to flow instead of piling up as sediments on the pond floor.
The swimming pond is a revolutionary concept when it comes to home leisure.  Maintaining one need not be a hard task. Using the types of treatment and maintenance mentioned above are very effective and economical ways of maintaining that piece of heaven in your backyard.
