Crystal Lagoons has developed and patented a pioneering, sustainable technology that allows crystalline lagoons of any size to be built and maintained at very low cost, anywhere in the world, using minimal water, additives, and energy – far less than for traditional swimming pools, parks, and other recreational amenities.
A 1 ha / 2.5 ac lagoon uses up to:
50X LESS ENERGY
Than a swimming pool
the same size.
40% LESS WATER
Than a park
the same size.
33X LESS WATER
Than an 18-hole
golf course.
100%
Water Compatibility
Lagoons powered by Crystal Lagoons® technology can use any type of water, including seawater and brackish water, which is abundant and has little to no alternative use.
1x
Filled only Once
Lagoons are filled only once and operate in a closed circuit.
10x
More Efficient
Crystalline lagoons have a far more intensive recreational use than green areas, golf courses, and surf parks, constituting a more efficient use per acre of space and gallon of water.
50%
Less Evaporation
They only need water to compensate for evaporation, wich can be reduced up to 50% with our exclusive molecular film technology and rainwater accumulation.
100x
Fewer Chemicals
They require 100 times fewer chemicals than traditional swimming pools.
50%
Beaches at Risk
50% of the world’s beaches could disappear by the end of the century. Public Access Lagoons® developments lower human impact on biodiversity by decreasing the number of visitors to natural beaches and coastal areas.
14M+
Tons CO₂ Saved
By bringing beach life, water sports, and entertainment close to home, PAL® projects reduce car and plane travel to coastal destinations, reducing CO₂ emissions by millions of tons. For this contribution, Crystal Lagoons was recently recognized as the “Champion of Champions” in the 2022 edition of the “Green World Awards.”
Up to 100x fewer chemicals than traditional pools
Unlike pools that require high and permanent levels of chlorine or other disinfectants—which is costly, environmentally harmful, and unviable for large bodies of water—our system applies precise, algorithm-driven pulses of safe additives only when needed.
How it works:
Sensors and injectors along the lagoon monitor water quality in real time.
Algorithms determine the exact timing and dosing of additives.
Precise pulses of safe additives are automatically applied when needed.
Telemetric monitoring through the Crystal Lagoons Control Center ensures optimal water quality without manual oversight.
Distinct water-quality zones can be managed within the same lagoon to meet varying local regulatory standards.
Up to 50x less energy and 300x less filtered volume than traditional pool systems
Conventional pools must filter the entire water volume multiple times per day to meet health and regulatory standards. This requires large, centralized filtration systems that become economically and physically unviable when scaled to the massive volumes of a lagoon.
Our patented approach solves this through a high-efficiency filtration system that:
Filters only a small portion of the total water volume.
Dramatically minimizes the size of pumps and filters.
Lowers installation and operation costs.
Agglomerates microscopic impurities into larger particles using safe additives and ultrasonic waves.
Consumes a fraction of the energy required by traditional filtration systems.
Monitored and operated remotely, 24/7
All lagoons powered by Crystal Lagoons® technology are connected to the Crystal Lagoons Control Center (CLCC), where they are monitored and managed via a cloud-based telemetric platform.
What the CLCC enables:
Alerts and automated adjustments.
Additive doses and pulsed disinfection.
Control over all mechanical and hydraulic systems.
Real-time physico-chemical and water quality readings.
Seamless and consistent, year-round water quality.
The technologies developed by Crystal Lagoons are protected through a robust intellectual property portfolio, including over 2,200 patents in more than 135 countries, along with trademarks, designs, copyrights, trade secrets, and trade dress.
This comprehensive protection covers construction systems, water treatment and purification technologies, filtration and disinfection processes, engineering designs, and urban beach developments, ensuring the uniqueness and global leadership of our innovations.
