Infinity swimming pools are also called vanishing edge swimming pools or negative edge swimming pools. As shown in the image, an infinity swimming pool is stunning to look at. This particular example is in a private residence on the Suffolk coastline.
One of the latest trends in swimming pool design, an infinity pool gives unhindered view of what lies beyond the pool to swimmers. Design of infinity swimming pools is highly specialised and it is imperative that all circumstances are considered before the actual construction begins on site. Some of the most stunning pools ever built are infinity pools with a lake, bay or garden beyond. Photographs of such pools can be found on the gallery page.
An infinity pool provides better circulation than a skimmer type pool, but is also prone to more heat loss due to a higher water surface area when the infinity edge is operating. For this reason, we design all our infinity pools with twin circulation systems, and in colder weather the pool can be used as a normal skimmer pool to conserve energy.
If you do not have the sloping garden or grand view of a lake or countryside, you can install another form of infinity pools called the mirror pool or ultra level pool. In a mirror pool the infinity edge is taken around the entire perimeter of the swimming pool and the weir is drained by a perimeter trough that is much smaller than the collection trough of an infinity pool.
The perimeter trough is drained by a network of gravity fed down pipes that take the water to a central collection tank that provides the buffer water storage normally provided by the collection trough in a conventional infinity pool. The cost of a mirror pool will be a little more than the cost of an infinity pool of the same size with the infinity edge along one long side.
