Pool & Swimming Pond
In the Pool & Swimming Pond category, you will find technology and accessories for private pools, natural pools and swimming ponds. The focus is on reliable water treatment, stable water quality, pleasant water temperatures and operation that is as simple as possible. The range includes hydrolysis systems with copper/silver ionisation, pool heaters, swimming pond heaters and suitable components for water circulation, control and maintenance. These products are designed for owners who want clear water, a clean system and reduced-chemical water care. Correct sizing according to water volume, usage, technical setup and system type is essential. This category is not intended for fish ponds or Koi ponds; the separate Pond Technology and Water Quality sections are more suitable for these applications.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What technology do I need for a pool, natural pool or swimming pond?
The key components are a suitable pump, effective water circulation, reliable filtration and, depending on the system, heating or water treatment technology. For natural pools and swimming ponds, planted zones, regeneration areas and water flow must also be considered. The technology should always be sized according to water volume, usage and system type.
Is a hydrolysis system suitable for natural pools and swimming ponds with plants?
Yes, hydrolysis systems are very well suited to natural pools and swimming ponds with plants, provided no fish are kept in the system. The water treatment works with a small addition of salt and produces oxidising agents such as oxygen, ozone and peroxide directly in the water. In combination with copper/silver ionisation, algae, bacteria and suspended particles can be reduced, supporting sustainably clear water.
Can I use a hydrolysis system in a Koi or fish pond?
No, the hydrolysis systems with copper/silver ionisation listed here are intended for pools, natural pools and swimming ponds without fish. They are not suitable for fish ponds or Koi ponds. For a Koi pond, use suitable pond filtration, aeration, UVC clarification and fish-safe water care products.
What should I consider when choosing pool and swimming pond technology?
The main factors are water volume, frequency of use, circulation, existing pipework, the location of the technical equipment and the desired type of water treatment. For swimming ponds and natural pools, planted areas and regeneration zones also need to be taken into account. An incorrectly sized system can lead to cloudy water, algae problems or unnecessarily complicated maintenance.
Technology for Pools, Natural Pools and Swimming Ponds
A pool, natural pool or swimming pond only remains pleasant to use when the technology is properly matched to the system. Clear water does not depend on a single device, but on the interaction between circulation, filtration, water treatment, cleaning and, where required, heating. In private gardens in Switzerland, requirements vary considerably: a classic pool has different needs from a swimming pond with plants or a natural pool designed for reduced-chemical operation.
This category is aimed at owners who want to operate their pool or swimming pond reliably, cleanly and comfortably. The products cover essential areas such as water quality, temperature, circulation and maintenance. Choosing the right technology always depends on the water volume, system type, actual usage and the equipment already installed.
Hydrolysis with Copper/Silver Ionisation
Hydrolysis is an interesting solution for owners who want to reduce the use of conventional pool chemicals. The principle is based on splitting water molecules using electrical current. This process produces oxidising agents such as oxygen, ozone and peroxide, which help with water treatment. A small amount of salt is required to start and support the process.
In combination with copper/silver ionisation, hydrolysis can support the reduction of algae, bacteria and suspended particles. Copper helps combat algae and can bind fine particles, while silver complements the effect against microorganisms. This combination is particularly relevant for natural pools and swimming ponds with plants, where the aim is clear water with reduced chemical water care.
It is important to respect the intended use: these systems are designed for pools, natural pools and swimming ponds without fish. They must not be used in fish ponds or Koi ponds. For those systems, fish-safe pond technology must be used.
Natural Pools and Swimming Ponds with Plants
Natural pools and swimming ponds with plants combine bathing comfort with a natural appearance in the garden. Plants, regeneration zones and water circulation play an important role in the overall balance of the system. The technology therefore needs to be selected carefully so that it supports water quality without unnecessarily disturbing the natural character of the installation.
In systems with plants, the water must circulate sufficiently to avoid stagnant zones while still respecting the more sensitive planted areas. Skimmers, pumps, filters and water treatment components should work together as one system. The less time leaves, pollen and organic particles remain in the water, the more stable and easier to maintain the system becomes.
A correctly sized hydrolysis system can be a suitable option for this type of installation, especially when clear water and a gentler approach than heavily chlorinated pool operation are desired. Proper sizing, installation and compatibility with the existing setup remain decisive.
Heating for Pools and Swimming Ponds
In Switzerland, the bathing season can vary significantly depending on altitude, sun exposure and weather. Pool heating or swimming pond heating can noticeably improve comfort, especially in spring, early summer or during cooler periods. It can also help extend the bathing season when the system is properly covered and well planned.
The choice of heating depends on the water volume, desired temperature, period of use and technical environment. An undersized solution will take too long to heat the water, while an unsuitable system can lead to unnecessary energy consumption. For swimming ponds and natural pools, water circulation and system design must also be considered so that heat is distributed effectively.
Circulation, Control and Maintenance
Water circulation is central to the reliable operation of a pool or swimming pond. It moves water through filters, treatment systems, heating units and other technical components. Insufficient circulation encourages deposits, stagnant areas and water quality problems. Well-planned circulation, by contrast, improves system stability and makes maintenance easier.
Control systems help manage operating times, filtration cycles and technical components more conveniently. They do not replace correct sizing, but they make operation more consistent and easier to monitor. In private installations, this consistency is often crucial: well-adjusted technology requires fewer interventions and provides better operational reliability.
Maintenance remains essential. Leaves, dust, insects, pollen and other organic inputs should be removed regularly. Suitable cleaning and maintenance accessories help keep the water more stable and reduce the load on the technical equipment.
Not for Fish Ponds or Koi Ponds
Even though some technical terms may sound similar, pool and swimming pond technology must not be confused with technology for fish ponds or Koi ponds. A hydrolysis system with copper/silver ionisation is not intended for ponds with fish. The biological requirements, sensitivity of the animals and filtration demands are different.
A Koi pond requires suitable , good , and fish-safe . Owners of Koi ponds should therefore use the dedicated categories for pond technology, pond filtration, aeration and water quality. This category remains intended for pools, natural pools and swimming ponds without fish.
