Take a closer look at a Flo Garden
Creating a balanced freshwater ecosystem
Just like in nature, a natural pool operates without the need for chemicals.
The crystal clear water you will find in a Flo Gardens natural pool is created by a perfect balance of endemic (local): fish, crustaceans, plants, rocks, pebbles and logs.
Your Flo Garden is a beautiful, self-sustaining ecosystem in action with clean, healthy water that’s completely natural.
Natural vs Traditional Swimming Pools
Living Water
Sterile Water
Requires large amounts of concrete, steel and toxic chemicals which have a high impact on the environment.
Replicates a balanced freshwater ecosystem. Requires no chemicals and enhances local biodiversity.
• Naturally filtered water that is pure enough to drink, like in a rainforest stream. Tastes and feels soft and refreshing.
Water Quality
• Chemicals like chlorine are required to create clear, sterile, “safe” water to swim in.
When you spend time in your Flo Garden natural pool, you will experience…
• Reduced stress and anxiety.
• Improved sleep quality and mood.

• Plants and animals maintain balance naturally, creating a very low-maintenance environment.
The only regular maintenance required is:

Ongoing Maintenance…
• Water testing (complex).
• Regular chemical inputs.
• Water tops up.
• Manually remove organic matter from
pool and skimmer box.
Environment
