Types of Swimming Pools
Updated At 29 November 2025

1. Skimmer:

   -Components: The pool, equipment room.

   - The skimmer system features openings located on the edge of the pool, designed to draw water for filtration. The water level is typically 15 to 20 cm below the pool's edge. This type is the most widespread due to its ease of installation and lower cost compared to other types, as well as the size and perimeter of the pool area. Notably, the name "skimmer" comes from the square-shaped white piece placed on the wall (the skimmer).

2. Overflow:

   - Components: The pool, the channel, the balancing tank, equipment room.

   - This system is characterized by a water level that is even with the pool's perimeter. Water continuously flows from the pool's surface into the surrounding channel, then to the balancing tank, and finally to the equipment room. However, the costs can be slightly higher.

3. Infinity:

   - Components: The pool, the visible balancing tank, (sometimes) a hidden balancing tank, equipment room.

   - Considered a symbol of luxury and comfort, this system features one or more edges of the pool that appear to flow continuously, creating the impression of an endless flow of water. In reality, there is a visible balancing tank.
