Creating your
natural swimming pool
Each aQua-designed pool
is as different and unique as its setting. The pools are tailored to your
environment and tastes.
- aQua-design boasts 20 years of
experience in aquaculture; designing and building aquatic systems around
the world.
- The founder of aQua-design is Jerome Davis who
holds a Ph.D. in aquatic bio-engineering and many years of international
experience in aquaculture which enables aQua-design to provide a unique
combination of solid science, design savvy and practical experience.
- Our depth of scientific knowledge enables us
to be extremely flexible in our designs. We prefer to liase with the
client to establish clearly what they want to see when all is done. Then
we biologically engineer the system to fit in with that requirement.
How we work
We are
flexible in the way we work. We usually offer a turnkey service but also have
relationships with a range of trained experts in their respective fields. All
projects are managed by us to form a seamless product of superior quality that
enhances the value of any property that they grace.
We have
Premier Partners in
We also offer remote consultation services to assist clients in outlying areas to build their own natural swimming pools.
In all cases as we share in depth technical knowledge which is the intellectual capital of Aqua Design. We require that all parties sign a confidentiality agreement to protect our intellectual capital.
It is helpfull if you have a budget identified from which we can work, alternatively we start by indentifying the budget required.
To start the process simply contact us on info@naturalswimmingpools.co.za and we will guide you through the process.
Building
Either existing pools can
be converted or new pools constructed from scratch. We welcome collaboration
with architects, builders and landscapers so that our pools blend seamlessly
with the theme and flavor of any garden, property or development.
Cost
Construction costs vary
considerably with design and materials, but as a rule of thumb the pools cost
more than chemical pools of an equivalent size. This is due mainly to the extra
cost of the aquatic garden and plumbing system. There will however never be
another bill for pool chemicals, shock treatments or expensive services. Electricity
costs can be cut by 60%. The pool will substantially add to the value of the
property. Most importantly, the valuable time needed to care for the pool is
minimal.
Energy
Because there is no algae
in the water
that needs to be filtered out by a preassure pump and sand filter, Eco Pools can
use much smaller and efficient pumps. We also offer wind and solar options for
driving our pumps.
aQua-design has a protected, unique airlift
pumping technology. The pump oxygenates the water as it moves. This technology allows
for more flexibility in design.
Green footprint
aQua-design strives constantly to reduce the carbon
footprint of its swimming pools: innovative pumping technology; lightweight
flexible liners and recycled construction materials are all unique features.
