Why choose a sustainable pool?
Environmental impact of a traditional pool
For years, having a home pool meant summer enjoyment but also a high environmental cost: excessive water use, heavy reliance on chemicals, and constant energy consumption. Little by little, this picture is changing.
Change starts at home: sustainability from your garden
Turning a conventional pool into a more responsible space is not only possible but increasingly simple. Your commitment to the planet can begin in that corner of calm and enjoyment we all associate with summer.
Keys to reducing energy consumption
High-efficiency pumps and filtration systems
One of the most effective steps is upgrading to a variable-speed pump. These units use up to 80% less energy than older models and keep water crystal clear with less effort.
Solar energy for heating the water: options and advantages
Installing thermal solar panels blends ecology with savings. They extend the swimming season without fossil fuels by harnessing the cleanest energy available: the sun.
Smart automation: technology in the service of savings
Home-automation systems adjust filtration and heating to real usage, preventing waste. You can also control everything from your phone with a single tap.
More eco-friendly water treatments
Alternatives to chlorine: active oxygen, salt, and ultraviolet light
Chlorine has been the standard for decades, but there are gentler options for people and the environment. Active oxygen disinfects without residues, salt systems generate chlorine naturally, and UV light eliminates bacteria without adding chemicals.
Natural pH control and chemical balance
With automated systems and biodegradable products, water care can be simpler and less aggressive for the environment. It also improves the bathing experience: no red eyes or harsh smells.
Materials and design: sustainability from construction
Eco-friendly, durable finishes
Choosing low-impact materials such as natural stone, recycled stoneware, or low-maintenance finishes reduces resource use over time. Their understated beauty and durability elevate the overall aesthetic.
Covers and thermal blankets: smart insulation
A cover doesn’t just keep debris out; it also prevents up to 95% of water evaporation. Thermal blankets retain heat overnight, reducing the need for heating.
LED lighting: efficiency with style
Replacing traditional fixtures with LED lighting saves up to 90% of energy. LEDs also offer softer, customizable light—ideal for magical summer evenings.
Eco-conscious maintenance
How to clean without polluting: biodegradable products
Choose phosphate-free cleaners without harsh substances. Plant-based alternatives care for your pool and for surrounding wildlife.
Responsible water management: reduce, reuse, recycle
Install rainwater collection or repurpose pool water for irrigation (when properly treated) to cut waste. The goal is to ensure no drop goes to waste.
Emotional and economic benefits of a sustainable pool
Well-being with a conscience: enjoy without guilt
Knowing your pool isn’t harming the planet adds an extra layer of satisfaction. Clean water, solar energy, natural products… Everything aligns to deliver a pure, tranquil sensory experience.
Long-term savings: lower consumption, higher efficiency
Investing in sustainability is noble and smart. Lower spending on energy, products, and upkeep makes your pool more economical year after year.
