Germany has been home to natural outdoor pools for 25 years now. Much has proven itself over these years and much has been further developed and improved. Naturbadinfo was founded 6 years ago in order to take up and present the most important topics from the area of further developments and innovations. There are still so many new things happening that we can only cover some of the topics. We hope to have made an exciting selection.
This time we would especially like to thank the authors of our guest articles:
- Paul Steinbrück from the “pool is cool” initiative reports on the first natural outdoor pool in Brussels, which is also the first outdoor pool in Brussels. A special and exemplary project, in our opinion.
- Dr. Georg Krafft deals with questions of personal liability in natural outdoor pools. This is a very important topic on which he already gave a presentation at the last ABS conference.
- Daniel Sasse from Naturbad Troase presents his ideas for the pool of the future. An exciting perspective from the field. We also report on the first floating natural outdoor pool that uses both biological water treatment and seawater – the Millenium Pool in Gothenburg. We look at the role of cyanobacteria (“blue-green algae”) and plants and what art can do in natural outdoor pools. We also take a look at a new technical development from Switzerland and Austria that could also play a greater role in public facilities in the future: Rapid filters – a technology that can reduce the amount of cleaning required by eliminating phosphorus.
We hope you enjoy reading it and find it inspiring!
