5 trends in pool construction: the future of the swimming pool in your garden
The year 2025 will bring new technologies and sustainable solutions to pool construction. From smart controls to compact wellness oases – these five trends will shape the swimming pool experience.
1. smart pool control: your pool thinks for itself
Automated pool control systems are increasingly taking over swimming pool technology. Modern systems such as the iControl series or Behncke Connect control all pool components fully automatically. You can control the water temperature, pH value, lighting and filtration from anywhere using an app.
Concrete advantages:
- Automatic dosing of chlorine and pH regulators
- Energy-saving pump programming depending on use
- Smart home integration with Alexa and Google Home using systems from Inverquark
- Real-time monitoring of water values with alarm messages
- Remote maintenance by service technician possible
Cost savings: Up to 80% less power consumption thanks to optimized control of the pool technology. The investment of around 700-2,000 euros pays for itself within a few years.
2. sustainable energy concepts: Environmentally conscious swimming
Sustainability is no longer a trend – it has become standard. In 2025, pool owners will rely on environmentally friendly technologies that save costs and protect the environment in the long term.
Innovative solutions:
- Solar-powered heating systems: Free hot water generation through solar power
- Energy-efficient pool technology: modern pumps and control systems from bluegarden’s partners reduce power consumption by 65-85% through optimum speed adjustment
- Salt water electrolysis systems: Chlorine-free water disinfection without the addition of chemicals
- Modern control technology from Behncke and Inverquark: Smart pool solutions for automated pool maintenance
- Professional pool technology from bevo: pumps, measurement and control technology, filtration systems
- Energy-efficient pool covers from grando: automatic cover systems reduce heat loss and evaporation
Environmental impact: In Germany, modern frequency-controlled pool pumps can typically save 600-1,000 kWh per year – at an electricity price of €0.23-0.30/kWh, this means a cost saving of €140-300, in particularly favorable cases up to a maximum of €450.
3. cordless pool robots: maintenance-free cleaning becomes a reality
2025 will be the year in which corded pool robots are increasingly replaced by battery-powered models. Battery-powered cleaning robots have now become affordable and offer comparable performance.
Why wireless is the future:
- No more cable entanglement or damage
- Complete pool cover without blind spots
- Quiet operation thanks to optimized motors
- Intelligent navigation with mapping of the pool
- Easy maintenance and emptying
Innovative solutions: Brands such as Beatbot, Flotide and Maytronics Dolphin, which are also available via the bluegardens network, offer powerful battery-powered pool robots from €650 – comparable models used to cost over €2,000.
4. compact pool concepts: Wellness in the smallest of spaces
Mini pools will become increasingly important in urban gardens and small terraces in 2025. These compact wellness areas offer relaxation in the smallest of spaces – perfect for the growing number of city dwellers with pool dreams.
High-quality mini-pool solutions:
- GRP pools from novacomet: Compact wellness pools with massage jets
- carropools compact solutions: Modular pool systems from the Netherlands for small gardens
- beachpool Design Minipools: Stylish compact solutions for urban gardens
- capena swimming pool structures: original and extravagant prefabricated components for reinforced concrete pools
- fluvo counter-current systems: compact rondo and karibic systems transform small pools into training equipment
Our pools are professionally planned and implemented by experienced gardeners and landscapers as well as specialized pool builders from the bluegardens network. They are individual, reliable and turnkey on request.
Cost advantage: Compact mini pools start at around €8,000-15,000 for simple models.
With fluvo counter-current systems, even a 4 x 2 meter pool becomes a fully-fledged training pool.
5. multi-sensory design pools: The pool as a work of art
Pools will develop into multifunctional experience spaces in 2025. Modern pool designers rely on pools as architectural elements that appeal to different senses and become the focal point of the outdoor living area. Modern pool attractions such as fluvo counter-current systems, hydro-massage and water wave systems transform every pool into an individual world of experience.
Design trends 2025:
- Material combination: Italian Vetrite combined with natural stone from Schellevis
- Integrated sun decks: Tanning platforms as part of the pool
- Underwater lighting with color change: RGB LED for an atmospheric ambience
- High-quality pool edging stones from Schellevis: Natural materials from the Netherlands
- fluvo swimming pool attractions: XANAS and rondo counter-current systems with myfluvo app control
- capena swimming pool structures: original and extravagant designs thanks to prefabricated components
- Infinity design: pool edges visually merge with the landscape
- Waterfalls and bubble effects: Natural design for more relaxation
Individualization: Tailor-made designs through the expertise of bluegardens member companies, programmable lighting and personalized water features make every pool unique.
The garden and pool industry is developing rapidly in terms of technology. Smart automation from Inverquark and Behncke significantly reduces maintenance work. Sustainable technologies from bevo (filter and pool technology), grando(covers) and other partners reduce operating costs and environmental impact. At the same time, compact concepts and swimming pool attractions from fluvo, carropools and capena transform even smaller gardens into real wellness areas.
The bluegardens member companies – a network of specialized pool builders and garden and landscaping contractors – guarantee the professional implementation of all trends.
