OVERFLOW POOLS

Overflow Pools – Advanced Water Circulation & Aesthetic Perfection

Precision Engineering | Superior Water Quality | Seamless Horizon Effect

Overflow pools, also known as perimeter overflow pools or deck-level pools, are engineered to deliver unparalleled water clarity, enhanced hydraulic efficiency, and a stunning visual effect. Designed with an advanced overflow system, these pools ensure continuous surface skimming, preventing the accumulation of debris and contaminants while creating a perfectly flush waterline.

Engineering & Functionality of Overflow Pools

Overflow pools operate on a closed-loop circulation system, where excess surface water is collected, filtered, and reintroduced into the pool. Unlike conventional skimmer pools, where water levels fluctuate, an overflow pool maintains a constant high-water level by using a perimeter overflow channel and balance tank.

Key Structural & Hydraulic Components:

• Perimeter Overflow Channel: A concealed gutter system that continuously collects surface water, ensuring optimal skimming efficiency.
• Balance Tank (Surge Tank): A compensatory reservoir that regulates displaced water volume from swimmer activity and environmental evaporation.
• Gravity Drainage System: The overflow water is directed through a collecting pipe network, maintaining a steady flow rate into the balance tank.
• High-Performance Filtration & Disinfection: Water is pumped through multi-layer filtration, sanitized (UV, ozone, or chlorine-based treatment), and returned via strategically placed return inlets.
• Automated Water Level Monitoring: Smart sensors detect evaporation losses and automatically introduce fresh water to maintain hygienic balance.

Advanced Overflow Edge Designs

Overflow pools are highly customizable, with overflow edges tailored to aesthetic and functional requirements. The waterline seamlessly blends with the surrounding landscape, creating a mirrored effect that enhances the visual continuity between water and horizon.

Full Perimeter Overflow:

• Water overflows uniformly across all four edges, providing 360° surface skimming.
• Ideal for luxury resorts, commercial pools, and high-end residential properties.

Partial Overflow (1, 2, or 3 Sides):

• Overflow is concentrated on selected sides, offering a balance of design flexibility and cost-efficiency.
• Common in private residences where space constraints apply.

Hidden Slot Overflow:

• Water drains through narrow, precision-cut channels, maintaining a minimalist, modern aesthetic.
• Commonly integrated with deck-level paving for a sleek, unobstructed look.

Advantages of Overflow Pools Over Skimmer Pools

• Superior Water Hygiene & Clarity: Continuous overflow ensures 100% surface skimming, removing debris before it sinks.
• Higher Water Level Aesthetics: The water surface remains flush with the surrounding deck, eliminating visible pool edges.
• No Visible Waterline Marks: Unlike skimmer pools, which develop dirt rings at the water level, overflow pools self-clean through constant circulation.
• Even Water Temperature & Chemical Distribution: The advanced hydraulic design prevents stagnation, ensuring uniform heat and chemical dispersion.
• Unobstructed Swimming Experience: With no elevated coping or pool edge, swimmers enjoy a smooth, uninterrupted surface.

Cost Considerations & Space Requirements

While overflow pools offer superior functionality and aesthetics, they require greater construction precision, additional space, and a more complex hydraulic system, leading to higher investment costs.

Invest in an overflow pool for unmatched aesthetics, superior water quality, and an exceptional swimming experience.
