March, 21st marks the beginning of spring on the calendar, but it also marks the beginning of the swimming season in the biological pool. After years of experience, it became clear that, in the South of Portugal, the water temperature in the biological pool reaches values above 20 ºC on this date, making it [...]
When you think of biological pools, you would never imagine that an IT specialist would have anything to do with them.

For some years now, we have been equipping biological pools with sensor buoys, capable of transmitting [...]
Every year again, Spring surprises us. Suddenly, life awakens, whether it be from the animal kingdom or the plant kingdom. We can almost see how the plants grow and gain height within a few days. So many flowers, it seems like they all appear at once. So many little birds that we can observe. [...]
The yellow water flag is one of the plants found in many biological pools, but it goes unnoticed for much of the year. The plant sits there with its green, sword-shaped leaves, almost looking like broadleaf grass, and doesn't attract much attention. However, there is a time of year, in spring, when the yellow [...]
We are already in February and at least in southern Portugal it is not long before starting the swimming season. Thus, it is high time to prepare the biological pool for bathing in Summer and schedule a cleaning with the divers team.

Recently, a scientific study revealed that “A quarter of threatened freshwater fauna”, that is, at least 4,294 species of 23,496 freshwater animals on the IUCN Red List, are at high risk of extinction. We are far from considering that biological pools are part of the solution to this problem, no way! But at least [...]
After 20 years, a new generation of Solar sauna has recently been created, with more noble materials and more modern finishes. The heating works CO2-neutral, it does not need more energy for its heating than sunlight. The operation of the solar sauna continues as is. Solar energy, i.e. light penetrating the glass, turns into [...]

Water captures all of our attention. It's not by chance. We need water for our life and for our survival. Without water there is no life, we already learned about it at school. So, it is completely natural that water plays such an important role for us. There are even more benefits of water, [...]
Could biological pools, such as ponds and lagoons, emit gases contributing to global warming? Or is the opposite the case, are they carbon sinks? There are no studies yet for natural swimming pools but there are already studies for natural ponds, which are the models in nature when building a biological pool. These studies [...]
