Overflow coping pools

Overflow pools continue to be one of the most popular trends in recent years due to the spectacular lake effect achieved. One of the main characteristics of modern overflow pools is the coping system which means the water in the pool tank is at the same height as the coping.

The water “overflows” all over the perimeter of the pool and is collected in a gutter that runs all around the pool tank. The water is normally filtered in this gutter to keep the water clean.

The overflow pool system is mostly used for public sports pools and at hotels and resorts, yet is becoming more and more popular for private projects.

An overflow pool offers a number of advantages:

So, now that you know what an overflow coping is and the advantages, how exactly does an overflow coping swimming pool work?

With this type of coping, the water flows over the edge for a spectacular visual effect. The water overflows and drops into a gutter that drives the flow towards the filtering system. As the pool water flows towards the gutter, there’s a significant water current on the surface which drags the leaves and other impurities and prevents deposits on the bottom. The constant flow of water quickly eliminates any surface impurities.

Gracias al flujo de agua de la piscina hacia el canal, hay una corriente importante de agua en la superficie, que arrastra las hojas y demás impurezas e impide que se depositen en el fondo.

El flujo constante de agua hace que la suciedad superficial se elimine de forma rápida.

This constant water movement means overflow edge pools require practically no bottom cleaning as most of the impurities are dragged towards the gutter and never end up on the bottom. For this reason, they are heavily used in public and recreational pools (hotels, spas, thermal centres...) where constantly clean water is required.

Por este motivo son muy utilizadas en piscinas de carácter público y recreativo (hoteles, spas, centros termales,.) donde se requiere una limpieza del agua constante.

The overflowing edge system is characterised by having the water at the same level as the top of the terrace. The water overflows the edge of the pool, creating a spectacular visual effect. On one side, an accumulator tank adds water to the pool. The water overflows and falls into a channel, covered by the ceramic grille, which leads to the filtering system.

El agua desborda y cae a un canal, cubierto por la rejilla cerámica, que la conduce hacia el sistema de filtrado.
