Traditional Pool in the winter that wasn't covered
One of the biggest advantages a Natural Swimming Pool/Pond has over a Traditional Pool is that it is beautiful year round. You don't have to drain it or cover it in the fall or winter like a traditional pool, and, in most places in the USA you can leave your NSP running all year long. If you live in a cold enough climate, you can even let your pond freeze over and ice skate on it!

It's important when building a Natural Swimming Pool/Pond to know the requirements for winterizing depending on which climate the NSP is built in. For example, you need to bury certain parts of your plumbing underneath the frost line to prevent damage to your pumps or other parts of the mechanical filter system. Every climate has different and specific adjustments that need to be made to ensure it runs smoothly for years to come.

I really enjoyed reading this post about the differences between fall/winter NSPs and traditional pools. It was interesting to learn about the benefits of NSPs such as their energy efficiency and ability to be used year-round. It's great to see that there are eco-friendly options for pool installations that can save on energy costs and also be used in colder weather. Thank you for sharing this informative post!
