Pool Types: Skimmer, Overflow and Infinity Pools

Understanding Pool Types

Choosing the right pool type is crucial for your project. Ankablue Pool & Spa explains the three main pool types to help you decide.

Skimmer Pools

The most common and cost-effective option. Water is drawn through surface skimmers. Ideal for residential pools with moderate budgets.

Overflow (Deck-Level) Pools

Water overflows into a collection channel around the pool edge. Provides better water circulation and a sleek aesthetic.

Infinity Pools

The vanishing edge creates a stunning visual effect. Perfect for properties with scenic views. Requires precise engineering.
