BUILDING AN INFINITY POOL

Overflow pools: partial overflow or full overflow?

The operation of an overflowing pool is technical, but the basic principle of an overflowing pool, for a partial overflow, is that the water covers the appearance of one side. It overflows on this side and ends its fall in a second pool, the buffer tank. Once in the buffer tank, the water is filtered and continually renewed in the main pool. If your pool is on flat ground and you want a full overflow, all around the in-ground pool, the mirror edge is preferable.

The in-ground mirror-edge pool is a great alternative to the infinity pool. Using the same technology as the infinity pool, the mirrored edge creates a waterfall effect around the entire perimeter of the pool. The pool is surrounded by so-called mirrored edges, allowing the water to come flush with the edge and then flow discreetly into a buffer trough hidden between two coping stones. It provides a flat surface throughout the pool, with the water level extending to either side, giving your pool a very contemporary look. The mirrored overflow pool gives you an uninterrupted panoramic view.

What work does it take to build an infinity pool?

An in-ground or semi-in-ground infinity pool has one big advantage over a traditional pool: instead of a skimmer, the surface skimming is done over a long length! Dirt is removed more quickly and has almost no time to sink to the bottom of the pool. The result: a cleaner pool that’s easier to maintain.

– Good to know: Overflow pools are equipped with automatic level control. So you don’t have to worry about topping up the water in your overflow pool, or even the water in the buffer tank!

Building an overflow pool involves a number of specific jobs. During the construction of your concrete overflow swimming pool, our specialist teams from each trade will take it in turns to build your overflow pool.

Once the groundwork for the pool has been laid, we’ll proceed with the reinforcement of the pool, followed by the plumbing and the spraying of concrete onto the reinforced structure. Then we’ll lay the coping and your liner. Finally, we’ll get your concrete overflow pool up and running

Concrete spa pool with overflow

The concrete spa pool with overflow is a comfortable option for lovers of relaxation. Its sophisticated, elegant design makes it an attractive addition to any outdoor environment. Thanks to its overflow system, this overflowing concrete spa pool offers a unique experience. Indeed, if you choose a pool with a waterfall overflow jacuzzi, the water will gently overflow the edges, creating a soothing and relaxing effect. It also creates a mirror-like surface, giving the impression that the water is merging with the horizon. The combination of an infinity pool and a waterfall spa offers a complete wellness experience.

Infinity pool on terrace

For those who want to create a striking visual effect within their outdoor space, the terrace-mounted waterfall infinity pool is an excellent choice. Strategically placed on an elevated terrace, it offers breathtaking panoramic views. The combination of the modern architecture of the terrace and the infinity pool creates a sophisticated and soothing outdoor space.

The filtration system

The water cascades through your pool and overflows into a collection tank known as a buffer tank. The purpose of this buffer tank is to collect the water from the overflow. The filtration system and the pump will then suck up and treat the water before redirecting it into the main pool. The recovery tank is planned from the moment the pool is built, depending on its configuration and size. Our equipment is designed to optimise the filtration system of waterfall overflow pools. Don’t hesitate to ask us your questions about the overflow effect and how filtration works.
