Overflow
“Overflow” Swimming Pool System.
This is a type of swimming pool system that is commonly used in both residential and commercial pools. This system relies on the use of openings called “skimmers” located at the edges of the pool, which work to draw in surface water and clean it of dirt and debris.
- This swimming pool system relies on the presence of a channel (overflow channel) around the pool frame to collect water and send it to the balancing tank, from which it goes to the filtration system.
- Water flow is achieved from the top to the bottom using special pumps installed in the pool equipment room, which help to convert the water into the overflow and continuously flow it.
- Swimming pools are designed with overflow systems in a way that ensures continuous and appropriate water flow, which helps to purify the water and maintain its quality.
- The overflow design is more visually appealing than traditional swimming pools, as the water flow is created to resemble a waterfall, adding aesthetic value to the space.
- The overflow system requires a wide space and additional costs for lighting, pumps, design, equipment room, and balancing tank. Therefore, this type of swimming pool may be more expensive than traditional pools, but it is less costly in terms of monthly maintenance and chemicals.
- The idea behind this pool is that the water is completely filled, so that if someone jumps into the pool, the water turns into waves and flows out of the pool through a dedicated channel for transporting the pool water to a special tank, which then returns the water to the pool through the equipment room.
