Villa FAQ

Most swimming pools use a large amount of Chlorine to make the water safe for swimmers. In addition the owners will use acid to reduce the pH in hard water areas. These chemicals are dangerous to the environment and wasteful, as over 50% is lost to evaporation when added to the pool.

Our pools are eco-friendly in terms of their extremely low usage of chemicals. We use an electronic pool cleaning system from Spain that naturally Chlorinates the water through a process of electrolysis. In addition the system constantly monitors the pH of the pool and directly injects fluids to lower the pH to the perfect value of 7.3.

Our guests love our eco-friendly pools as children can swim in them all day, without the side effects of swimming in a highly Chlorinated chemical pool.

The water in this system is pumped from our private well that is 80 metres deep.
