Self-cleaning “ecological” pools use microorganisms and aquatic plants to filter the water and prevent algal growth, and are designed to attract wildlife, such as dragonflies and butterflies. They do not taste and smell of chlorine but are like natural pools.
Pioneered in Austria, chemical-free pools have become increasingly popular in France, Germany, Italy and Switzerland. Small hotels looking to save energy and attract wildlife to their gardens, such as Hotel Marini in South Tirol, Italy and Orion B&B in the south of France also have these pools .
So next time you want to cool off with a swim seek out these environmentally friendly pools and treat yourself to visual treat of butterflies and insects.
