Pool types – Skimmer or Overflow?
The main difference between these two types lies in the water circulation and filtration system, which directly reflects on the visual effect, budget, and technical complexity.
🔷 Skimmer-type pool
Water enters the filtration system through skimmers built into the walls. This is a budget-friendly and practical solution where the water level remains below the edge.
- Relatively low cost
- Simple installation and maintenance
- Less technical complexity
🌊 Overflow-type pool
The pool is constantly full — water reaches the level of the edge and overflows into a special channel. It creates a perfect mirror-like surface and a premium visual effect.
- Perfect "mirror-like" visual
- Better and faster filtration
- Premium-class design
Cost and technical aspects
The overflow pool is more high-budget because it requires an additional reinforced concrete channel, a balance tank (5–7% of the total volume), and complex automation.
Water level controller, automatic top-up system, and complex electrical control panel.
