Perfect circle
Claudia Schwarzer2022-12-01T09:17:27+00:00In the heart of Alentejo, a new biological pool was born, one of our most recent projects. It is inserted in a rural property, surrounded by a cork oak grove that extends to the horizon. The biological pool consists of a simple circle. It's this simple setup that gets a lot of attention. Water [...]
Autumn
Claudia Schwarzer2022-12-01T09:16:32+00:00Autumn paints the landscape with other colors, brown, dark green, yellow and dark red dominate. Within this new color scheme, the biological pool surprises with its crystalline waters. The water temperature is already reaching low levels, so much so that the biological pool is no longer inviting for diving, at least in large parts [...]
Planaria
Udo2022-12-01T09:15:37+00:00Planaria is an animal rarely visible in biological pools, even if there were many there. But it is a species widely used in scientific biology laboratories. This species can be cut into pieces, and each piece can regenerate into a complete organism! What sounds brutal has greatly helped scientists to better understand the biology [...]

Always the same, always different
Claudia Schwarzer2022-10-27T17:14:06+01:00Water mirrors in the landscape have magical effects. Whether by day or by night, they reflect the light and their surroundings, they are duplicating the beauty of landscape and sky that extends above them. Depending on the angle, weather and time of day, the effect changes. And it surprises us, every time again. Thus, [...]
Restoring forests
Udo2022-10-27T17:08:18+01:00Forests are the lungs of the world, and indigenous forests, with the site's original species composition, are the best for helping mitigate effects of global warming. In addition, they are home to a huge biodiversity of plants and animals. There are also nature-based solutions for restoring forests, for which we are specialists. We have [...]
Little king frogs
Claudia Schwarzer2022-10-27T16:33:35+01:00Late summer is when they appear. From one day to the next they are there, visible, with no explanation of where all of a sudden so many tiny frogs come from. Sometimes no bigger than the fingernail, they already behave like the big ones, they know how to jump and swim perfectly. They like [...]

Bacteria in biological pools
Udo2022-10-04T15:27:22+01:00The hygienic purity of water is essential for the success of biological pools. In some biological swimming pools for tourist use, it is confirmed monthly by regular analyses. Bio Piscinas, Lda. recommends that all tourist units with biological pool carry out this self-control of their own volition, despite the absence of a legal obligation [...]
Bird observation
Udo2022-10-04T15:21:00+01:00Biological pools are true bird observatories. Pete Downs' photo proves that a biological pool attracts the most varied species of birds. This little egret visits the photographer's biological pool, attracted by the croaking frogs and took the time to inspect the banks. Birds come to biological pools to quench their thirst and kingfishers look [...]

On vacation
Claudia Schwarzer2022-08-30T15:52:02+01:00August, the usual vacation month, is over, but we still haven't taken our summer vacation. We inform you that Bio Piscinas Lda. will be on vacation in September. As a result, we will be less accessible by phone and email than usual and will eventually respond less quickly to requests. We ask for your [...]
