For many years now, we've had the pleasure of observing a toad that lives in our garden. It spends a lot of time in the vegetable patch, dedicating itself to eating snails and slugs, making it a welcome helper. We know it's a Mediterranean toad (Bufo spinosus) that has its hiding spots in the [...]
One of the most persistent myths about natural swimming pools is that of percentages. "Internet experts" compete with each other, indicating percentages relating the sizes of the bathing zone and the regeneration area with plants in a biological pool. Anyone who talks like this still hasn't understood that this relationship in no way characterizes [...]
When consulting the Red Lists of Portuguese Flora and those of other European countries, it is clear that many wetland species are threatened or in danger of extinction. This is because, for centuries, wetlands were considered unproductive or dangerous areas, due to the proliferation of disease-transmitting mosquitoes. Today, the perspective on wetlands is quite [...]
For Chinese sages, the element of water meant energy. Thus, in garden planning, it was considered a beneficial element, because it allows the environment to be energized through its various virtues. And they are right. A water point in the garden is attractive and draws all our attention. We can hardly take our eyes [...]
From the perspective of the user of a biological pool, waterfalls are a visual attraction due to their diversity in shapes and colors and especially due to the sound effect of dripping water. In summer, rain at home, without getting wet, brings a very pleasant feeling of freshness. Waterfalls in biological pools are always [...]
It is clear that biological pool designers work a lot with aquatic plant species. As one of the results of this intense botanical work, new species that occur in the territory of Portugal were discovered and described by Udo Schwarzer. But as science does not stop at borders, not even those between land and [...]
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. But this is exactly the case since we designed a remote monitoring system for our biological pools. 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 [...]
