An infinity pool https://www.totalpoolsdubai.com/could
probably transform even the least scenic spot into an oasis, but they have the
most impact in an area with plenty of sky and an already breathtaking view. The
“vanishing” edge turns the whole pool into a sort of mirror for the scenery.
How the infinity effect is created
An infinity pool
features one or more walls that come to water level rather than above it (as
with a conventional in-ground pool). These walls slope downward away from the
pool, creating that serene waterfall effect. But where does that water
go?
Overflowing water
falls into a catch pool – a sort of basin that sits beneath the vanishing edge.
From here, the water is collected and pumped back into the main pool. Sounds
simple, right?
But there are a few
tricky components to the infinity pool – and they can make the view either
scenic or awkward.
·
Views
are everything. For an infinity pool
to have the best effect, the vanishing edge must be positioned so that you
can’t see the catch pool from the prime viewing spots. The easiest site
to build on is a gentle slope; flat land and steep slopes mean the builder
might have to do more engineering work before installing the pool.
·
Get
the catch pool right the first time. Overly ambitious designers can get into trouble with the
catch pool. The basin must be deep enough to collect all of the spillover water
– but not so deep that the water level is constantly low. (Engineer Ron Lacher,
CBP, explains more specifications for the catch pool in this
article.)
·
Double
the pumping power. While the main
part of an infinity pool uses the same kind of plumbing as a conventional pool,
the catch pool usually requires its own pump and filter to keep water
circulating back into the main pool. The filter ensures that the pool itself is
free of debris – and always photo-ready.
·
Is your space suitable for an infinity pool?
We’re all enamored
with the idea of eternity – but your space will dictate whether or not an
infinity pool is appropriate.
·
What’s
your view like? If you have a
smaller back yard and views of your own fence, an infinity pool might be a bit
ambitious. For one thing, these things tend to take up a good amount of space
(you have to account for the catch pool). And infinity pools create a
reflective, almost mirror-like surface – which might not be the best thing if
you’re reflecting an old swing set and your neighbor’s huge trampoline.
·
What’s
the style of your home?
A country cottage is probably better suited for a naturally landscaped
in-ground than for a sleek infinity pool. A mid-century home in the desert or a
stark, modern house on a hill, on the other hand, is practically begging for
some dramatic waterscaping.
·
How
do you feel about chasing waterfalls? If you want a dynamic waterscape, you can position an infinity
pool so that the pool is elevated and the vanishing edge is facing the viewer
(and adequately covering the catch pool). This creates a dramatic waterfall
effect. If your space is small or your view is less than idyllic, a reversed
infinity pool can give you a dramatic look that’s not out of place.
