A huge filtration filter on the river, that is + POOL.


+ POOL has a hierarchical filtration system, which removes bacteria and pollutants in the water and makes it clean water. Since the filter filters water, we are aiming to satisfy the standards of cities and governments as pool water while leaving natural river water not using chemicals and additives, completed + POOL was completed on 1st I will clean 500 thousand gallons (about 1.9 million liters) of water.


This + POOL is made up of four "pool for children" "sports pool" "lap pool (normal swimming pool)" "lounge pool."


The image of the lap pool looks like this.


These pools can be used separately, but you can connect four poolsOlympic size / poolIt can also be used as.


The size of the pool area is 164 feet in length, 164 feet in width, 5 ft. In depth, about 9,300 square feet in area, about 284 square meters in area, A thousand gallons (10.10 million liters).

This + POOL will undertake underwater experiments in the summer of 2013, and for that purpose we are constructing a small experimental pool floating in water.


The experimental pool will be able to test different combinations of materials and test water quality with 19 different parameters.


The goal is to complete + POOL by 2016 Olympics.


70,000 tiles are used for the finished pool, and the name of the investor is engraved on each one of them.


The investment is possible from 25 dollars (about 2360 yen), and with a contribution of 25 dollars, the name is engraved on one tile together with seven other investors.


With a $ 199 investment, the name will be engraved on the tile used for the actual pool and a copy of that tile will arrive at hand. Also, two people will be sent the right to swim with + POOL before opening to the public.


If the goal of $ 250,000 (approx. 23.6 million yen) is established, it will be possible to build cross-shaped experimental pool of 35 feet in length and width (about 11 meters).



If this + POOL project succeeds, New Yorker will be able to swim in the river for the first time in 100 years.


The deadline for investment is local time at 10:30 am on July 12, 2013.
