How this pool works
Heron 20 pairs a 20 ft round swimming zone with about 309 square feet of planted regeneration zone, roughly half the water surface. The swim zone is built as a sloped bowl with natural rock banks. A pump pulls water through a gravel and shale filter under the plants, where bacteria and roots strip out the nutrients algae would eat, then returns it clean over the babbling brook. No chlorine, no salt, and the water stays clear because something other than algae eats first.
Every number on this page comes from the same engine as the designer: the dig, liner, filter media, plumbing, pump, plants and finish work for this exact layout. Open it in the designer to fit it to your yard, or book a free 10-minute call to talk it through.
