PASES Aqua specializes in 3D designs, conversions and construction management of freshwater natural swimming pools.
Natural Swimming Pools” or “Swimming Ponds” is a relatively recent concept that originated in Europe, which uses freshwater without any chlorine or other chemical additives traditionally used in swimming pools. A submerged vegetation zone is included to filter the nutrients in the water just like natural lakes and the appearance of the natural pool is absolutely stunning.
What Are The Benefits?
- Stunning appearance and experience assimilating a natural lake or rainforest in your backyard
- It’s salt and chlorine-free hence prevents irritation to skin and eyes
- Eco-friendly, bringing you closer to nature – Frogs, ducks and low numbers of fish can inhabit your pond, if you want them
- Cheaper in maintenance than traditional swimming pools if designed and executed properly
- No harmful pathogens or bacteria with our filtration technology
Why Choose PASES Aqua To Design Your Natural Swimming Pool?
- To get the best results, you would need an expert that has a background in biology, pond systems, pool systems, aquatic macroinvertebrates, sterilization and wetland function. Dr. Dulana Herath; the founder of PASES Aqua, is one of the very few experts with a strong background in all of the above
- We have attended relevant workshops and conferences around the world evaluating natural swimming pool designs, filtration, and advances in technology
- Our designs are meticulously addressed and ensure crystal clear water with our filtration methods
- Our costs are affordable

Frequently asked questions
In early stages they can. Once the plants and nitrogen cycle becomes established they require little maintenance and cleaning. Much less compared to conventional swimming pools.
No. Algal outbreaks can occur in early stages which can be treated by natural alternatives. Algae is also seasonal and certain seasons may require different treatments. Generally once the ecosystem is established algae levels reduce and treatments are rarely needed.

We can then arrange an onsite consultation and provide some design options and quote. Alternatively we can supply a questionnaire to give you a ballpark figure on the build!
Yes. We recommend smaller native species that produce very little waste. For example native pygmy perch and native glass shrimp. Koi and goldfish are not recommended.
To provide optimum water quality and less maintenance, then yes. PASES Aqua uses both plant, mechanical and biological filtration to achieve the best results. Our filters are a lot more advanced than european and american systems to account for the warmer climate to combat the algae.
Yes. Natural pools are becoming more increasingly popular worldwide and have proven to be safe when designed, built and maintained correctly. We do have sterilisation systems that prevent 99% of pathogens and harmful bacteria to survive.
Natural swimming pools are slightly more expensive to build compared to conventional pool due to the extra landscaping required (concreting, block-laying, fibreglassing, vegetation zones, artificial zones). However, we find these costs can quickly be saved back in reduced ongoing maintenance and electricity expenses.
