The company was established in 2014 and has grown constantly since then. It is deeply specialized in nature based solutions, through the integration of nature and architecture. The Spanish SME has developed different systems for vertical gardens, green roofs, natural pools and other green tools. Due to that experience it has participated on European funded projects to implement green infrastructures in urban environments.
The company has developed a system to transform conventional existing pools into natural pools. This system performs water purification by natural means: using aquatic plants and other beneficial and non-dangerous microorganisms for people who carry out the necessary processes of the nitrogen cycle. Natural pools base their operation on the activation of the nitrogen cycle: Firstly, it promotes the appearance of beneficial bacteria that transform ammonia into nitrate through a biological filter. Then plants carry out a nitrate absorption process by removing these nutrients from the water. As a consequence of that the use of chlorine or any other chemical product is unnecessary in these natural pools.
The system components are: draining sheet, selected expanded clay layer, selected porous gravels, acuatic plants selection, pump equipment and complementary filter. It has been tested and executed in real customer cases. The company advise, design, and provide all the required materials of the product, and offer supervision and follow up of the complete system.
The enterprise is currently commercializing this system in the national market and is interested on finding international partners to expand it abroad. The Spanish SME is willing to stablish a distribution services agreement or commercial agency agreement with companies specialized in the installation or maintenance of swimming pools that could be interested on offering this system as added value and sustainable service. The Spanish SME is also open to license agreements with service providers or engineering companies specialized in the sector.
