On the occasion of the “Biotop Natural Pool Open Day” in mid-June, the most recent innovation by Biotop Landschaftsgestaltung was presented: The Biotop Swimming Pool looks like a traditional pool but operates like a natural pool. The only difference is that the new phosphorous filter “PhosTec” replaces the water plants. This filter is integrated into the water circulation and binds the phosphorous dissolved in the water with a new filter material.

What is so “ingenious” about the Biotop Swimming Pool is the intelligent combination of tried-and-true components from the natural pool system with the PhosTec pressure filter.

The tried-and-true components:

• The curved sieve skimmer
  
• The submerged pump house
  
• The biological filter
  
• The pool robot

How they work together:

• The curved sieve skimmer and the submerged pump house create the first water circuit which runs approximately four hours per day during the season. The pump’s short operating time minimises electricity consumption.
  
• The biological filter and the PhosTec pressure filter are operated by a second, smaller pump that draws out the water from the bio filter and pumps it into the PhosTec. This pump runs constantly and is located as an individual circulation system in the submerged pump house. – The pool robot runs independently and its operating time can be regulated as required.

The location:

Any components are concealed under the sun deck elements. This way there is no need for additional space.

The Pool types:

The Biotop Swimming Pool is the one extreme, the Natural Pool with no technical equipment the other. In between a varied mix of the many options can now be offered to customers interested in the new technology.
For example, the biological filter concealed under the sundeck can also be provided as a plant filter. This is a very attractive design option, in which the plants are clearly separated from the swimming area. Please find out more about this topic from our info sheet (PDF - 1MB).

Biotop-Boss Peter Petrich about his invention:

“The Biotop Swimming Pool looks like a normal swimming pool. The deciding difference is that the Biotop Pool operates without chlorine or other toxic chemicals. The water is treated on a purely biological basis and by means of physical mechanisms, the water is alive.”
