Discover the future of swimming

Traditional swimming pools are becoming a thing of the past. With their flawed design, high operating costs, and heavy reliance on chemicals, they no longer fit the needs of the modern world. Now is the era of natural swimming pools, also known as biopools.

Welcome to Aqua Vitae—leading the way in designing and building eco-friendly, chemical-free swimming pools & water features that blend seamlessly with their surroundings.

Experience the Difference

Thanks to cutting-edge advancements over the past decade, biopools now deliver the same clear water quality as traditional chemical pools—naturally and with significantly lower costs. With up to 90% savings on operation and maintenance compared to a TSP, they provide a sustainable and cost-effective solution for both residential and commercial settings. Designed to handle heavy use without compromising water quality, these pools offer an eco-friendly alternative without sacrificing performance or aesthetics.

The Aqua Vitae Difference

  • Chemical-Free, Healthier Water

    • Traditional Swimming Pools (TSPs) use chlorine or salt, which can cause:

      • Respiratory problems (chlorine fumes)

      • Skin and eye irritation

      • Hair damage

      • Harmful chlorine byproducts (chloramines)

      • Increased asthma and cancer risk

      • Dehydration (salt pools)

    • Natural Swimming Pools (NSPs) use natural plant filtration and low-wattage UV-C technology, delivering fresh, high-alkalinity water that’s gentle on your skin and eyes—no red eyes, no irritation, just pure swimming enjoyment.

  • Lower Running Costs

    • TSPs rely on chlorine or salt treatments applied weekly and high-pressure pumps that consume excessive electricity.

    • NSPs use low-pressure pumps, significantly reducing electricity use.

    • Cost comparison for a 5m x 10m pool over 30 years:

      • TSP: $2,500 per year → $75,000 total

      • NSP: $300 per year → $9,000 total

      • Potential savings: $60,000+

  • Superior Design & Longevity

    • Traditional swimming pools (TSPs) use liners exposed to UV light, requiring replacement every 5-8 years.

    • Aqua Vitae Natural Swimming Pools (NSPs) have covered liners, lasting 30-50 years or more—saving time, money, and resources.

  • Natural, Organic Aesthetic

    • Traditional pools are often rigid, rectangular, and unnatural in appearance.

    • NSPs are designed with organic shapes, integrating harmoniously into natural landscapes. They also often include the tranquil sound of water moving.
