The water is gentle on skin, eyes, and hair, and costs $350–$600/year to run vs $1,400–$2,500/year for a chlorinated pool.
Can I convert my existing pool to a natural pool?
Yes — pool conversions cost $26,000–$62,000 and are the most cost-effective way to go chemical-free in Kotara. You need space adjacent to the existing shell for a biological filtration zone. Our verified builders can assess your site during a free consultation.
