Infinity Edge Pool

An infinity edge pool is a design where water flows over an edge, creating a visual effect of water extending to the horizon.

How an Infinity Edge Pool Works

Water spills over the edge of the pool into a catch basin and is recirculated back into the main pool, creating the illusion of a seamless blend with the surrounding landscape.

Maintenance Considerations

  • Ensure proper water level to maintain the overflow effect.
  • Regularly clean the catch basin and pump system.
  • Monitor for evaporation loss, which may be higher than in traditional pools.
