Transforming a pool into a biopool
Although a garden pool looks beautiful, it is often filled with chemicals. These substances may keep the water clean and clear, but they are harmful to both people and the environment. In the spirit of National Garden Week, it is important for everyone to act more climate‑friendly and contribute—big or small—to biodiversity and natural life in their garden. All the more reason to switch to natural water purification in your pool area! This way, you can still enjoy the luxury of a swimming pool while creating a more environmentally friendly garden.
Chlorine-free water purification
The main difference between a traditional swimming pool and a biopool lies in the way the water is purified. Swimming pools are almost always treated with chlorine, which is harmful to your skin, lungs, eyes, and the environment. A biopool, on the other hand, uses an ecological filtration system while maintaining the sleek appearance of a swimming pool. It offers a clean, modern look without chemicals, aquatic plants, biofilm, or algae.
Would you like to create more flora and fauna in your garden? Then a type 4 swimming pond (crystal clear) is an excellent choice. This type provides a natural swimming experience in crystal-clear water, with only minimal biofilm growth. Plants are regularly added for natural beauty and biodiversity, but remain separated from the swimming area.

AquaForte Plug & Swim Pallet Type 5
The AquaForte Plug & Swim filtration systems are perfect for creating a biopool or swimming pond. Since the complete systems are delivered on a pallet, all you need to do is plug in the power cable. The AquaForte Plug & Swim Pallet Type 5 is highly suitable for converting a traditional (chlorine) swimming pool into a biopool. This filter pallet is almost completely chlorine‑free thanks to low‑salt hydrolysis. However, the water will not taste salty, as only 1 to 2 grams of salt per litre are added.
Crystal‑clear water without chemicals
Would you prefer not to use any chemicals in your swimming pond? Then the AquaForte Plug & Swim Pallet Type 4 is an excellent choice if you want to enjoy clean and clear swimming water while maintaining the natural look of a pond. This system does not use low‑salt hydrolysis but relies solely on UV‑C, phosphate removers, and liquid beneficial bacteria. Because this system is 100% biological, flora and fauna can thrive in your garden environment. This also makes the Plug & Swim Pallet Type 4 highly suitable for fish!
