the story	Conventional swimming pools represent a major environmental burden to affluent societies in the energy required for construction and maintenance, their water requirements and their toxic products. This pool is an attempt to address some of these problems. Water Conservation The rainwater from the house is collected into a water diverter and then into an inlet built just below water level in the wall of the pool. NB: a rainwater collection system such as this is incompatible with a chemical dependent pool where overflow is toxic and replenishment of chemicals after rain would be very expensive. Flow-forms expose a large surface area to sunlight and provide an agitation to oxygenate and volatilize the water components. Through mimicking natural water flows, flow-forms are thought to have an energizing effect on the water. A solar pump lifts water from the base of the kid's and the main pool to the top of the flow forms. Conveniently, when the sun is shining most (summer) is when the sanitizing effect of the flow-forms is most effective and the pool is being utilised the most. tahlia at the pool		the kids
