Description

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 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.
