Crystal Lagoons® Sustainable Technology Monitored 24/7

08/05/2020

Crystal Lagoons® is a U.S., Miami-based company that has developed a pioneering, innovative, and sustainable technology that has been patented worldwide in over 190 countries. This technology, created by the firm’s founder, Fernando Fischmann, allows crystalline lagoons of unlimited sizes to be built and maintained at very low costs anywhere in the world, using a minimum amount of additives and energy. This allows people to enjoy beach life, year-round, even in large, landlocked cities.

There are currently more than 50 million man-made water bodies around the world, such as artificial lakes, lagoons on golf courses, reservoirs, among others. None of them have the transparency of tropical seas reminiscent of the Caribbean. On the contrary, their water looks murky with a dark green color, because of the algae proliferation and the accumulation of sediment in the bottom.

For years, different water treatment technologies have been applied in large bodies of water, with the objective of achieving good quality, such as the use of ozone, aeration and movement of water, enzymes, biological equilibrium and fish, among others. However, none of these methods have managed to create large bodies of crystalline water with high transparency and microbiological quality.

For this reason, Fernando Fischmann, biochemist by profession, created a sustainable technology method and system that allowed him to build and maintain large crystalline lagoons with excellent water quality at very low costs. In fact, the most important advantages offered by Crystal Lagoons technology are its low construction and maintenance costs, the use of any type of water source and its low water consumption, converting it into the World’s Top Amenity™, and has improved millions of people’s lives around the world.

The results of this efficient system based on pulses of disinfection allows to use up to 100 times less chemicals compared to conventional swimming pools and drinking water treatments, reducing the excessive costs of additives and their consequent damage to the environment.

Telemetric Monitoring and Operation

The application of additives is determined electronically by injectors and sensors strategically located in the lagoon. This operation is managed online by the Crystal Lagoons Control Center, so that the presence of qualified personnel for the application of the additives and the monitoring of the water quality of the lagoon is not necessary.

It also ensures efficient filtration system consumes only 2% of the energy compared to conventional swimming pool filtration systems. In addition, as the Crystal Lagoons filtered volume is up to 300 times lower than in conventional systems, the complete filtration system is smaller, allowing the space required for the installation of pumps and filters to be reduced.

All lagoons that use Crystal Lagoons technology around the world are monitored, controlled, and operated online from the Crystal Lagoons Control Center (CLCC) 24/7.

Crystal Lagoons boosts the success of Lagoon Pilar

19-04-2024

Lagoon Pilar, strategically located in Buenos Aires, the fastest growing area of the Pilar area, is one of Crystal Lagoons’ most successful projects in Argentina. Powered by Crystal Lagoons and Grupo Monarca, this development stands out for being anchored by an 8,6-acre crystalline lagoon, the heart of the project. More than just a distinctive visual element, this lagoon has been instrumental in boosting the project’s added value and significantly accelerating the sale speed of the marketed properties.

Crystal Lagoons® technology has proven to be a key differentiator for Lagoon Pilar, as confirmed by Luis Signoris, the project’s developer. “Crystal Lagoons generates a significant increase in the square meter value, surpassing the standard of other projects in the area.” The executive emphasizes that this amenity offers residents a unique lifestyle and impacts those who visit Lagoon Pilar,. “We aimed to have that exact impact when we decided to incorporate a crystalline lagoon into the project.”

The artificial lagoon is surrounded by 800 premium residential units and a complete infrastructure, including a clubhouse, restaurants, spa, and sports areas, among other services. Additionally, it features three white sand beaches, allowing residents to enjoy the lagoon all day long and engage in various water activities such as Stand Up Paddle, kayaking, windsurfing, and swimming.

“In Argentina, beyond the different economic situations, the success of Crystal Lagoons does not stop. Projects incorporating lagoons generate exponential added value in the real estate sector. The projection is even more positive because an increase in foreign investment is expected in the coming months, which will further boost the real estate market”, explains Francisco Matte, Crystal Lagoons’ regional director for Latin America.

World’s Largest Crystal Lagoon in the middle of the desert, Captures International Attention

17-04-2024

The press continues highlighting the world’s largest crystalline lagoon with Crystal Lagoons® technology at Citystars Sharm El Sheikh, Egypt. This stunning amenity in the middle of the Sinai desert, spanning 28.8 acres of turquoise waters, has been the subject of numerous reports highlighting its unique features.

Since 2015, this mega-project has held Crystal Lagoons’ second Guinness World Record as the largest crystalline body of water globally, surpassing its record from 2007 when the iconic San Alfonso del Mar crystalline lagoon was certified as the world’s largest.

Citystars Sharm El Sheikh results from an association between the Crystal Lagoons and the Sharbatly family, one of the oldest and most prominent in the Middle East and Africa. Crystal Lagoons® technology has added real estate value to the development by transforming undeveloped desert lands into a paradisiacal setting.

The monumental crystalline lagoon at Citystars Sharm El Sheikh, in the Sinai, is supplied without use with saline water from desert wells, creating tropical seas amid an arid environment.

Crystal Lagoons® technology has achieved what was previously thought technically impossible: the construction of artificial lagoons of unlimited sizes anywhere in the world, even in the heart of the desert. Today, this innovation allows for the idyllic beach experience to be brought to unexpected locations, gaining worldwide recognition for its transformative impact.

Once again, the prestigious international entertainment, travel, and tourism guide Time Out has turned its attention to the Crystal Lagoons Treasure Bay project on the idyllic island of Bintan, Indonesia. Its recent edition of recommendations on what to see, do, and experience highlighted this project as essential to include in travelers’ itineraries and a must-visit in the region due to its unique features, as the largest crystalline lagoon in Southeast Asia with sustainable Crystal Lagoons® technology spanning 15.5 acres, equivalent to 50 Olympic-size swimming pools, surrounded by 1,400 meters of white sandy beaches.

Time Out recommended this project developed under the Public Access Lagoons™ model, also known as PAL™ developments, emphasizing the variety of aquatic experiences that can be enjoyed across its 222 acres, allowing visitors to indulge in beach life year-round with options for dining, spa, shopping, entertainment, and nightlife. Within the artificial lagoon, an oasis of turquoise waters, visitors can partake in water sports such as bungee jumping, cable water skiing, boating, slides, paddleboarding, kayaking, and wakeboarding.

With its monumental body of water, Treasure Bay has established itself as a unique experience on the paradise island of Bintan, Indonesia. Bintan, known for its nearly 3,000 islands, strategically faces Singapore and Johor Bahru, Malaysia. It offers many tourist attractions, including world-class golf courses, hiking, elephant parks, eco-farms, luxury spas, and beach activities.

This PAL™ development is surrounded by 1,400 meters of white sandy beaches, with a length of 800 meters and reaching a maximum depth of 2.5 meters. It offers various water recreation experiences, including bungee jumping, cable water skiing, boat rides, water slides, paddle boarding, kayaking, and wakeboarding. The artificial lagoon allows visitors to enjoy beach life year-round with dining options, spas, shops, entertainment, and nightlife.PAL™ projects, which anyone can access for an entrance fee, transform any site into a year-round entertainment hub with more than 125 activities that can take place in the lagoon itself or its surroundings.
