Natural swimming pools (NSPs) offer an ecologically beneficial, low energy alternative tochlorine-disinfected systems, while also providing ecological design opportunities that are in keeping with the natural environment. In particular NSPs contain no man made chemicals what so ever, can function year round with crystal clear water, require up to 10 times less pumping energy and can be heated up to 28 degrees.There is a strong market need for such systems in the UK, EU & US, with consumersbecoming aware of the adverse health risks associated with chlorine systems, high chemical & electricity costs, and chemical build up in our natural environment.Despite the clear environmental, user, and health benefits of natural swimming pooltechnology, the global market uptake of NSPs is limited due to technology barriers.The thrust of this proposal is to develop low cost and modular, natural (chemical free)filtration systems, which are able to overcome these barriers and which will also address the shortcomings of chlorine pool sanitation.The filter design has the potential to replace chlorine as the industry standard for sanitisation of new build and retrofit pool applications. Spin off applications include remediation of large water bodies (e.g. lakes) to remove algal blooms, and pollution control.Aims and Objectives:Using research and scientific papers to identify a potential shortlist of optimum filter mediaTo conduct scientific tests on a range of filter media to determine comparative non-biological and biological fixation of phosphorusTo optimise the filter system by testing optimum ratios of filter media volume to watervolume, the effects of chemical condition, temperature & flow rates on system efficacy and longevityTo design and test a range of scaled down modular filter designs in order to ascertain optimal functionality with minimum electricity To develop a functional pool-scale basic prototype filter system

天然游泳池（NSP）为氯消毒系统提供了一种对生态有益的低能耗替代方案，同时还提供了与自然环境保持一致的生态设计机会。特别是NSP不含任何人造化学物质，可以全年使用清澈的水，需要高达10倍的泵送能量，并且可以加热到28度。在英国，欧盟和美国，这种系统有很强的市场需求，消费者越来越意识到氯系统相关的不利健康风险，高化学品和电力成本，尽管天然游泳池技术对环境、使用者和健康都有明显的好处，但由于技术障碍，NSP的全球市场占有率有限。本提案的重点是开发低成本和模块化的天然游泳池技术，（无化学品）过滤系统，该过滤器设计有可能取代氯气作为消毒的行业标准，新建和改造池应用程序。附带应用包括大型水体的修复（例如湖泊），以消除藻华，以及控制污染。宗旨及目标：使用研究和科学论文确定最佳过滤介质的潜在候选名单对一系列过滤介质进行科学测试，以确定磷的非生物和生物固定的比较通过测试过滤介质体积与水量的最佳比例，化学条件的影响，温度&流量对系统效率和寿命的影响设计和测试一系列按比例缩小的模块化过滤器设计，以确保以最少的电力实现最佳功能开发一个功能池规模的基本原型过滤系统
