INFINITY POOL

Infinity Pools – Engineering the Ultimate Visual Illusion

Seamless Design | Advanced Hydraulics | Architectural Elegance

Infinity pools, also known as vanishing edge, zero edge, or negative edge pools, represent the pinnacle of luxury pool design. Engineered to create the illusion of water extending infinitely into the horizon, these pools are custom-built to integrate seamlessly with surrounding landscapes, whether overlooking an ocean, mountains, or city skyline.

Engineering & Hydraulics of an Infinity Pool

The defining feature of an infinity pool is its disappearing-edge effect, achieved through precision hydraulic engineering. Unlike conventional pools, where water remains fully enclosed, an infinity pool has at least one edge designed with a lowered weir wall, allowing water to continuously flow over into a catch basin or balance tank. This recirculated water is then pumped back into the main pool, ensuring a continuous flow with optimal water levels.

Key Structural Components:

• Vanishing Edge Weir – The lowered edge that creates the visual infinity effect by allowing water to flow over.
• Catch Basin / Balance Tank – A separate reservoir that collects overflow water, designed with auto-level sensors to maintain optimal water volume.
• Recirculation Pump & Surge System – Specialized high-flow, low-noise pumps ensure uninterrupted water movement from the basin back to the main pool.
• Specialized Filtration & Debris Management – High-capacity filtration systems are integrated to remove leaves, insects, and debris, maintaining crystal-clear water quality.
• Vacuum Basin & Surge Compensation System – Essential for preventing backflow, stabilizing water levels, and avoiding drainage inconsistencies caused by environmental factors like wind and evaporation.

Design Considerations for Infinity Pools

Infinity pools require meticulous structural and hydraulic planning to achieve seamless functionality. These considerations ensure maximum visual impact while maintaining optimal water circulation and efficiency.

Architectural Integration:

• Custom-designed to align with natural topography and scenic viewpoints.
• Optical blending of water with the background (ocean, sky, or landscape).
• Edge detailing eliminates visible coping, maximizing the infinity effect.

Structural Engineering:

• Reinforced concrete shell with waterproofing layers to withstand constant overflow pressure.
• Precision-levelled weir to ensure uniform water sheet flow without turbulence.
• Advanced load-bearing calculations for locations on elevated surfaces or terraces.

Advanced Hydraulics & Water Management:

• High-efficiency, variable-speed recirculation pumps for consistent water overflow.
• Automated water-level monitoring to adjust balance tank capacity dynamically.
• Smart drainage systems prevent overflow fluctuations caused by swimmer activity.

Cost & Construction Complexity

Due to the specialized hydraulics, additional structural reinforcements, and custom-built overflow systems, infinity pools require a higher investment than traditional pools.

Infinity Pool Cost Breakdown:

• Vanishing Edge Feature: Adds approximately 30% or more to the cost of a conventional in-ground pool.
• Catchment & Recirculation Systems: Requires high-capacity surge tanks and filtration to ensure precise water balance.
• Multi-Sided Overflow Edges: Some designs extend the infinity effect across two or more edges, increasing construction complexity and cost.
