Building a biolake: things to know

First of all, to be sure of obtaining a biolake or biopool that meets your expectations, it is important to entrust its realization to specialists in the field. Water is a natural element that must be known, so that it can be “inserted” in the garden in the most suitable way and without the risk of turning into a disappointment what was intended to be an enrichment from an aesthetic and well-being point of view.

It is essential to identify the ideal position: a suitable location will not only ensure the success of the biolake, but also facilitate its maintenance over the course of the seasons. Choosing an area with the right balance of light and shade and with a suitable slope will allow the project to come to fruition.

Another aspect to take into consideration concerns the flora and fauna that will be present in the biolake: it is important to read up on the type of plants you want to have, to avoid combining contrasting species that could compromise the development of the vegetation and affect the health of the biolake.

Similarly, if you want to have animals in the biolake, you need to consider their interaction with the vegetation and the fact that, as in the case of fish and turtles, they will produce more waste that will need to be removed and should therefore be considered as a discriminating factor when choosing between a bathing and a decorative biolake.

Biodiversity in the biolake

Plants are one of the essential features of the biolake and, as we have read in this article, numerous types can live together in the lake or on its banks, helping to preserve the quality of the water and making it an ideal place to dive.

What’s more, and anyone who owns a biolake will certainly have noticed this: it is a natural environment that attracts numerous species of animals, which find food, water or refreshment there.

Both during the day and at night, birds, dragonflies and butterflies populate the biolake, attracted by the sound of the water and the natural environment. These are often species that have not been seen in the area for a long time.

Similarly, pets also like to spend time in the vicinity of the biolake and often end up preferring its water to their bowl!

What about mosquitoes? No need to worry: the constantly moving water of the biolake prevents mosquitoes from laying their eggs and thus prevents their proliferation.

The baths are not finished: the pleasure of an autumn dive in the biolake or natural pool

This is because, on average, the water in a biolake or a natural pool is a few degrees warmer than in a traditional swimming pool in the same place and measured at the same time. Warming up earlier, as early as April you can dive in and, in the same way, you can continue with the baths until October.

A unique opportunity to be in contact with nature directly at home, relaxing in the pleasantly cool water of your personal lake.
