More and more families are choosing this type of pool for their homes, as it offers a modern and exclusive alternative to traditional skimmer pools.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In an overflow pool, the water can overflow on one side, multiple sides, or even the entire perimeter of the pool.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Within the category of overflow pools, we can distinguish the following types:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Infinity Edge Pool<\/strong>. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.poolique.com\/en\/swimmingpoolideas\/infinity-swimming-pools\/\">Infinity pools<\/a> typically feature an elevated overflow edge compared to the surrounding surface, creating a sense of fusion between the pool water and its environment. The most spectacular infinity pool projects are those that give the impression the pool continues into the horizon, blending seamlessly with the sea or sky.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Mirror Pool<\/strong>. Mirror-style overflow pools create a reflective effect across the water surface. In this type, the overflow edge is almost imperceptible. The pool and its border blend seamlessly, with water overflowing subtly through nearly invisible gaps. This creates a sense of continuity, blurring the boundaries between the pool and its surroundings.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Hidden Overflow Pool \/ Underflow Pool<\/strong>. In hidden overflow pools, the water flows below the outer edge of the pool. This creates an effect similar to skimmer pools but without visible &#8220;mouths&#8221; or skimmers.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Munich Overflow Pool<\/strong>. Munich-style overflow pools feature an external water collection gutter. The water overflows from the top edge of the pool and flows into a gutter through a set of grates. Initially, these grates were often made of PVC or similar materials, but now they are available in diverse options like steel, stone, or porcelain.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>An increasingly used alternative is the combination of different overflow systems in the same pool.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Awesome ICF Pool with 3-Sided Infinity Edge\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/oIciP5HkhXM?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>ADVANTAGES OF OVERFLOW POOLS<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>As mentioned earlier, one of the main attractions of an overflow pool is its aesthetic appeal. Other notable benefits include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Quieter operation.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Enhanced safety.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Easier maintenance.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>DISADVANTAGES OF OVERFLOW POOL<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The main drawback of an overflow pool is the need for a balance tank to manage excess water. This tank, also called <strong>catch pool<\/strong>, must have the capacity to hold 5-10% of the pool\u2019s total water volume. Thus, in addition to space for the pool and filtration equipment, additional room is needed for the balance tank.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In recent years, there has been a trend to make the balance tank an aesthetic feature, such as incorporating it into a fountain-like design.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another approach is to deepen the gutters, increasing their water-holding capacity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Moreover, to achieve the continuous overflow effect, the pool\u2019s filtration system must remain active, resulting in slightly higher energy consumption.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Regarding cost, an overflow pool typically has a higher price than a skimmer pool of the same size.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Learn about the different types of overflow pools, a significant trend in the world of pool design.
