Why Go Natural? The Scoop on Natural Ponds vs. Traditional Pools

Hey, ever wonder why someone would choose a natural pond over a sparkling chlorinated pool? Well, it’s like choosing between a fresh apple from the tree and one found in a store with a whole lotta wax. Natural ponds are living ecosystems right in your backyard. Morgan Brown from Whole Water Systems is all about these eco-friendly beauties. He says you can sip the water if you're feeling adventurous because it’s that clean—no need for a post-swim shower either

The cool part? These ponds cut down on your upkeep chores and costs because nature’s doing the heavy lifting. They're not only about being low maintenance; they also nail it in the eco-department, using plants in a separate zone to filter the water naturally. Plus, adding a little waterfall can make your backyard sound like a serene retreat while keeping the water oxygenated. And yeah, for those who get the ick factor about germs, some systems like Total Habitat toss in a UV sterilizer to zap any nasties, making sure your swim is as clean as it gets.
