Pool Design Guide

Your Guide to Vanishing Edge Pools

Robert FosterMarch 2024
Vanishing Edge Pool

What is a Vanishing Edge Pool?

A vanishing edge pool, also known as an infinity pool or negative edge pool, creates a stunning visual effect where water appears to vanish over one or more edges. The water flows into a catch basin and is recirculated back into the pool.

Benefits of Vanishing Edge Pools

  • Dramatic visual appeal and resort-style aesthetics
  • Significantly increases property value
  • Creates seamless views with landscape or water features

Design Considerations

Vanishing edge pools work best with properties that have elevation changes or stunning views. The catch basin must be carefully engineered to handle water overflow and ensure proper circulation.

Cost and Installation

Vanishing edge pools typically cost 20-30% more than traditional pools due to additional engineering, catch basin construction, and specialized equipment. Professional installation is essential for proper function and longevity.
