That's how it started
The world's most viewed natural pools were built by contractors from the global Aquascape network.
All are handcrafted, unique, and 100% natural aquatic environments, created by certified Aquascape contractors.
The result can look as if it has always been there.
With the modular Aquascape Ecosystem, the solution can be customized to the location. We look forward to hearing what you desire.

Perfect flows carry debris from the water surface to a single location before anything sinks to the bottom and contributes to eutrophication.
Effective natural filtration keeps the water nutrient-poor, preventing uncontrolled algal blooms.
Since the Aquascape Ecosystem blends into the surroundings, no building permit is needed for pools with a maximum height of under 50 cm.
Chemical pools require careful measurement of chemicals year-round.
Our natural pools are purified using enhanced natural processes.
I am very satisfied with the guys at Faunapoolen. I already had a design in mind, and the installation went smoothly. Plus, everyone was incredibly nice!
How it works.
With over 30 years of experience, the Aquascape Ecosystem is the world's most proven and popular system for natural pools.
By mimicking natural processes, nitrogen and other nutrients are effectively absorbed by aquatic plants before algae can establish.
The entire system is powered by powerful, whisper-quiet pumps.
The process
Keeping a natural pool clear at depth starts at the surface.
The Intake Bay/Negative Edge draws in floating debris and leaves to a shallow area where it can be easily removed from the water.
This minimizes the risk of organic waste sinking to the bottom and contributing to eutrophication.
Through various layers of stone, particles are captured on their way to the biological filtration system.
The purification process inspired by natural wetlands.
As the water rises through the filter, the smallest particles are captured while the plant roots are fed with nitrate and phosphorus, starving the algae.
The water then continues through the stream to the waterfall.
Natural movement and oxygenation complete the cycle.
The water is oxygenated on its way back through streams and waterfalls, creating conditions for beneficial bacteria that break down organic material.
Strategic water jets contribute to further movement, preventing warmer surface water with dead zones where algae can take hold.
The Result
Unlike traditional pools, there is no need to measure or dose irritating chemicals.
Unlike other natural systems, there is no need for regular replacement of expensive phosphorus filters.
Unlike many DIY natural pools, the Aquascape Ecosystem is designed to counteract recurring algae blooms and gradual eutrophication.
The system is designed to withstand the Scandinavian winter, so you don't have to start over with a new ecosystem every year. Each season begins where the last one ended, reducing maintenance over time.

Aquascape was founded in 1991 after a successful pond project in Greg Wittstock's backyard in the 80s. Today, Aquascape is a world leader in natural water environments.
Together with Ed Beaulieu and Brian Helfrich, the company has paved the way for sustainable pond, pool, and stormwater solutions based on natural ecosystems. Systems that always combine ecology, function, and beauty without compromise.
Aquascape's proven technology and global network of certified contractors make the company the gold standard for natural water systems that fit anywhere – from private gardens to luxury resorts and municipal water solutions.
The system that started in Greg Wittstock's backyard is now found with celebrities like Shaquille O'Neal.
You may have seen them on YouTube, transforming ordinary gardens into living works of art.
For those seeking a water system that both looks and functions as nature intended, the Aquascape Ecosystem is a proven path. The philosophy is simple: work with nature instead of trying to tame it.
The gold standard
As part of the global Aquascape network, we introduce over 30 years of expertise directly from the American pioneers behind the natural pool movement.
Through Faunapoolen, Aquascape's proven methods are combined with Scandinavian design principles such as precision, minimalism, and natural harmony.
Each project is a unique part of the global movement from chemical to completely natural pools that are both:
The difference
A natural pool from Aquascape is as close to a lakeshore as you can get.
Whisper-quiet pumps with sound-designed, bubbling water shut out the world so you can relax in your oasis.
All that is needed is to thin out plants and scoop leaves from one spot now and then.
The circulation keeps the water cool during hot summer days and flowing during cold winter days.
Since you avoid chemicals, heating, filter changes, and extensive maintenance, operating costs are significantly lower.
You avoid both dry skin, irritating eyes, and strained airways associated with chlorine pools.
You create new habitats for animals that have lost their natural habitats. In return, they help keep your new ecosystem in balance.
