Architect Dong-Ping Wong developed the concept of a floating pool that would filter river water to supply clean water for the pool. The pool is planned to be located at Pier 35 on the Lower East Side of Manhattan. ==Concept== Plus Pool was designed to clean the waters of the East River and provide a public space for water-based recreation. The pool's name comes from the fact that it would be shaped like a plus sign. The original design called for four separate pools (lounge, kids', watersports, and lap-swimming pools) that combine to create a pool with several lap lanes. Prior to Plus Pool, New York City has had many 'floating baths' moored along the Hudson and East Rivers. A floating pool known as the 'Floating Pool Lady was created at Brooklyn Bridge Park in 2007 and continues to operate in Barretto Point Park in the Bronx. Plus Pool was designed to filter up to one million gallons of river water daily directly from the East River through its unique custom, chemical-free, layered filtration system. Over 250,000 gallons of the river water surrounding the pool will become safe, clean, filtered water used to fill the pool. The pool was designed to contain of water and to filter from up to per day. ==History== ==References== ==External links== Swim in the River Family New York PlayLab
