What is an infinity pool? An infinity pool is also called an infinity edge pool or a zero edge pool. It is a reflecting or swimming pool where the water flows over one or more edges, producing a visual effect of water with no boundary. Such pools are often designed so that the edge appears to merge with a larger body of water such as the ocean, or with the sky, and may overlook locations such as natural landscapes and cityscapes. The water appears to flow beyond the edge and into, well, infinity.
Is Your Place Suitable For An Infinity Pool?
While you don’t need to live on the top floor of the tallest building in town or to have a huge backyard with a beautiful panorama to look at, you still need a lot of space for an infinity pool. Thus, if you have a small backyard, the size of an infinity pool can be problematic. You need space for the holding tank and if you don’t have enough space you might be forced to take away from the size of the pool itself, which will make the pool less impressive. If space is not a problem for you, you can definitely get rid of the old swimming pool and install an infinity pool.

Pros Of Infinity Pools
The obvious pro is that infinity pools offer a unique vision and amazing views of the surroundings. No other pool can create the same magical environment.
Another advantage of infinity pools is that they are easier to maintain than traditional pool since the water is cleaned and filtered constantly thanks to the filtration system that pumps the water from the catch pool to the main pool. This means you don’t have to worry about the maintenance of an infinity pool as often as the maintenance of a traditional pool.
When it doesn’t pump water into the main pool, the catch pool can be used a swimming pool for kids. Since the catch pool is usually 1/3 of the size of the infinity pool, it’s actually great for children.

Cons Of Infinity Pools
The biggest con is definitely the price. It’s mandatory to have a second pool and, depending on the number of negative edges you want, the cost can increase.
Infinity pools are spectacular because they are surrounded by spectacular landscapes or views. If your backyard doesn’t have a beautiful landscape, the infinity pool won’t so spectacular.
Infinity pools are more dangerous than standard pools due to their exposed edge or edges. Accidents and falls that can result in injury are more likely to happen in infinity pools than in traditional pools. However, this doesn’t mean these accidents are common.
Overall, infinity pools are a good option if you have the space, the money, and the view for infinity pools. If not, there are plenty of resorts and hotels around the world where you can enjoy them. Now you know all the pros and cons of infinity pools, would you make one in your backyard?
