Crystal Lagoons® | Small Lagoons by Crystal Lagoons™

Commercial swimming pools are a thing of the past

THE CONCEPT

A Disruptive Innovation for Real Estate and Hospitality

Small Lagoons by Crystal Lagoons^™ is a breakthrough sustainable product. This innovative, patented concept and technology offers real estate and hospitality developers a way to bring a unique idyllic beach-life experience to their projects. With models ranging from 5,400 sq ft to 1 acre (500 m² to 4,000 m²), Small Lagoons by Crystal Lagoons^™ offer a much better experience at a fraction of the construction and maintenance costs of traditional commercial swimming pools.

THE INNOVATION

The End of the Commercial Pool Starts Here

Commercial pool technology is outdated. After more than a century, it still relies on heavy concrete structures that require constant repainting, along with large filtration systems and oversized machine rooms. Small Lagoons by Crystal Lagoons^™ introduce a proprietary technology that redefines how these commercial water amenities are built and operated. Instead of painted concrete, they use a liner system that eliminates regular repainting and concrete repairs. Instead of large filters, they use ultrasonic flocculation technology, significantly reducing infrastructure requirements.

COMMON QUESTIONS

Everything you Need to Know About Small Lagoons by Crystal Lagoons^™

How much do Small Lagoons by Crystal Lagoons^™ models cost to build compared to commercial pools?

Small Lagoons by Crystal Lagoons^™ are significantly less expensive to build than a commercial pool of the same size. There is no oversized machine room and no centralized filtration system: a liner system replaces painted concrete, and patented ultrasonic flocculation replaces large filters, cutting infrastructure dramatically. Exact pricing depends on model and location, and a full cost breakdown is provided with every quote.

How much does it cost to maintain?

Maintenance costs for Small Lagoons by Crystal Lagoons^™ run up to one-third of those of a traditional commercial pool. Energy consumption is low, hydraulic-equipment replacement cost is negligible, there is no machine room to service, and no concrete to repair or repaint. Project-specific figures are provided with each quote.

How long does it take to build?

Small Lagoons by Crystal Lagoons^™ can take about 3 months to build, compared with 6 months or more for a commercial pool. Standardized models reduce design time, simplify permitting, and accelerate construction. Exact timelines depend on the chosen model and location.

What sizes do they come in?

Small Lagoons by Crystal Lagoons^™ come in five standardized models, from 5,400 sq ft to 1 acre (500 m² to 4,000 m²). Standardized models reduce design time, simplify permitting, and speed up construction. This range makes them a fit for projects of nearly any scale, from boutique developments to large communities and resorts.

Who operates the lagoon?

Crystal Lagoons licenses its patented technology and supports developers and operators through construction and operation. Each lagoon runs on Crystal Lagoons^® technology with remote telemetric monitoring, keeping day-to-day operating requirements far below those of a commercial pool. Crystal Lagoons provides the technology and ongoing technical support rather than building or operating projects directly.

Lagoon vs. pool: what's the difference?

Commercial pools are outdated: an artificial concrete box, built for swimming, that looks like every other pool and sets no project apart. Small Lagoons by Crystal Lagoons^™ replace that with a tropical paradise of white-sand beaches, turquoise water, beach life, and water sports. They win on the numbers too with significantly lower construction and operation costs and far simpler maintenance. Developers pay less for something that differentiates their project and drives sales.

Will a lagoon help sell or rent units faster?

Independent third-party data says yes. Projects with a Crystal Lagoons^® amenity have seen faster absorption and price premiums. For hospitality, lagoons have driven significant ADR and ancillary-revenue gains.
