How these pools work, where they work best and other factors to keep in mind when deciding on an infinity pool will be covered in this article. Infinity pools are basically a large optical illusion. The edge of the pool that provides the illusion is slightly lower than the surface of the water.
This allows the water to pour over the edge into a catch basin below. To create the proper effect, aligning the submerged edge with the right background is imperative. The best backgrounds are steep drop-offs or natural slopes leading to a landscape situated far off in the background. Infinity pools are not really any more dangerous than a regular pool. There has to be a basin a few feet below the zero edge to catch the water.
Because of the difficulties of creating an artificial slope strong enough to hold the weight of a swimming pool, until recently most infinity pools had to be constructed from concrete. However, Compass Pools Australia have developed the exclusive Maxi Rib technology, which enables fibreglass pools to be installed fully or partially above ground.
If you are lucky enough to own a site where an infinity pool can be installed fully in-ground, the pool will still need more structural work than a regular pool, as it is essential that the infinity edge is strong enough for continued and regular use. Once a swimming pool is installed, it would be extremely difficult to turn it into an infinity pool, as the construction process is entirely different and a lot more technical.
This means that if you want an infinity edge pool, this is a decision you have to make before you purchase your pool. If you want a fibreglass pool, you will be choosing a prefabricated pool shell. However, with some additional engineering work to suit your specific needs, a standard pool shell can be turned into an infinity pool.
Many of the Compass Pools designs we sell, for example, are ideally suited to being turned into infinity pools — the Contemporary and the X-Trainer are two of the most popular shapes which both make beautiful infinity pools. The Contemporary is a large family pool with clean lines, which comes in a number of different sizes, and the X-Trainer is a long, rectangular pool with a highly sophisticated shape, ideal for swimming laps. Both make stunning infinity pools, and can easily be adapted. It is very difficult to give an accurate estimate of an infinity pool cost, as each pool has to be built differently to suit the individual site on which it is being built, and the needs of the customer.
However, infinity swimming pools are more expensive than regular pools, for a number of good reasons. Firstly, infinity pools require expert engineering. The build process is much more technical than what is required for a normal swimming pool, so it needs to be installed by a specialist with the necessary knowledge and experience.
Secondly, there is more structural work involved in creating an edgeless pool. The ground will require significant preparation work, as it is likely that an artificial slope will have to be created. At the very least, some reinforcement works will be needed. The cost of creating the infinity edge also has to be taken into account, as this involves doing individual work on a prefabricated pool shell if you choose a fibreglass pool. This work has to be completed to the highest possible standards so the pool is strong, durable and safe.
However, the main cost involved in creating a negative edge pool is the cost of the holding tank. This is essentially the equivalent of building a second swimming pool, as it has to be able to hold one-third of the total amount of water in your pool. The size of your pool does not have much of an influence on the cost. As the process is exactly the same for creating an infinity edge of any size, you will not pay much more for a larger infinity pool than for a medium-sized one.
The cost will increase, however, if you want your infinity edge to continue around a corner, as this is more difficult to engineer.
