Bringing nature into your home is synonymous with calm and well-being for residents. Biological pools are popular for bringing this movement to the decoration of outdoor areas . The concept that seems exotic at first has become popular among Brazilians and is particularly different due to the presence of some elements such as: sand, stones, aquatic plants and even fish .

In addition to being refreshing, the pools have this introspective character. Snorkeling in a biological pool has a relaxing effect that is good for the mind and body”, explains biologist Rafael Catarino, owner of Clímax Ambiental.

But this is far from being the only advantage of investing in the structure.

[/caption] Contrary to the use of chlorine, biological pools use microorganisms to purify the water . The presence of fish contributes to this function, as they help control algae and mosquito larvae, which creates a biological flow – which is where the name comes from. Ozone is the only element added to water. With a cleaning power far superior to that of chlorine, it does not have adverse effects that could compromise human health, such as respiratory allergies or skin problems.

Care for biological pools

[/caption] To ensure this balance, it is important to have professional support for the creation and maintenance of the pool. Catarino emphasizes that a series of precautions are necessary to ensure self-regulation , from the creation of the biological filtration system to the control of ozone so as not to affect the health of the fish. When choosing fish, the biologist warns about different temperatures . Carp are recommended for regions with mild climates, but for warmer regions, such as the Brazilian northeast, it is worth looking for native species .
