ABOUT THE PERIMETER OVERFLOW POOL SERVICE
Overflow Swimming Pools: Creating the Perfect Mirror Effect
Overflow pools represent the pinnacle of sophisticated pool design, where water sits perfectly flush with the surrounding deck and gently flows over the entire perimeter into hidden channels. This creates a stunning mirror effect that reflects the sky and surrounding landscape, transforming your outdoor space into a serene, glass-like water feature.
Unlike traditional skimmer pools or single-edge infinity designs, perimeter overflow pools allow water to cascade over all four sides, creating a continuous flow that eliminates visible boundaries between water and deck. The result is a tranquil, mirror-like surface that appears to float seamlessly within your landscape design.
The overflow system requires precise engineering and specialized construction techniques. Water continuously flows into perimeter channels covered by elegant grates or slots, then travels to a balance tank where it’s filtered and recirculated back into the pool. This constant circulation ensures superior water quality while maintaining the perfect water level for the mirror effect.
At Milestone, we specialize in constructing high-end overflow pools that combine advanced hydraulic engineering with aesthetic excellence. Our team understands the complex requirements of balance tank sizing, gutter design, and filtration systems needed to achieve the flawless mirror effect that defines luxury overflow pool construction in Dubai’s demanding climate.
What’s Included in Your Overflow Pool Build
Complete Overflow Pool Construction: Mirror Effects, Balance Tanks, Gutters
Overflow pool construction involves sophisticated engineering systems that create the signature mirror effect through continuous perimeter water flow. Our comprehensive services include balance tank installation, specialized gutter systems, and precision leveling to ensure perfect water distribution across all edges.
The perimeter overflow design requires a balance tank holding 5-10% of your pool’s total water volume, strategically positioned below deck level to receive overflow water through gravity feed. We design and install these essential components while maintaining aesthetic appeal and easy access for maintenance.
Our overflow pools feature various gutter options including ceramic-covered channels, natural stone finishes, or sleek slot systems that blend invisibly with your deck design. Each system is engineered for optimal water flow while minimizing splash and maximizing the tranquil mirror effect.
The continuous water circulation in overflow pools provides superior filtration compared to traditional systems, keeping your pool water crystal clear while maintaining the perfect surface tension needed for the mirror effect. Every overflow pool we construct delivers the serene, reflective beauty that makes these pools the ultimate luxury water feature.

FAQs
Overflow Pool Construction Questions
How does a perimeter overflow pool create the mirror effect?
Water sits flush with the deck and continuously flows over all edges into hidden channels, creating a glass-like surface that reflects the sky. This continuous perimeter overflow eliminates visible boundaries between water and deck, producing the signature mirror effect.
What is a balance tank and why is it needed for overflow pools?
A balance tank holds 5-10% of the pool’s water volume and collects overflow water from the perimeter channels. It’s essential for maintaining proper water levels and continuous circulation, positioned below deck level to receive water through gravity feed and pump it back through filtration.
Are overflow pools more expensive than traditional or infinity pools?
Yes, overflow pools typically cost 15-20% more than traditional pools due to complex engineering, balance tank installation, specialized gutter systems, and precision construction required to achieve the mirror effect and continuous perimeter flow.
Do overflow pools require special maintenance compared to other pool types?
Overflow pools need additional maintenance for balance tank cleaning, gutter system care, and water level monitoring. However, the continuous water circulation provides superior filtration, often resulting in cleaner water than traditional skimmer systems.
