An overflowing pool has a spectacular aesthetic design. Moreover, it blends perfectly with the surroundings, so you will have a pool that fits into your home as if it had always been there. However, what is an overflowing pool system with a hidden channel? It is something different to traditional overflow systems.

Hidden channel for your pool overflow
An overflowing luxury pool, however beautiful it may be, has a problem. Water can come out flooding and dirtying the area where you walk or where you have your loungers to rest. This can make the environment appear unclean. That’s what the overflow pool system with hidden channel is for.
The overflow system for pools with a hidden channel has the great advantage of being very clean. Unlike overflowing systems that were made of plastic, in this case it is the stone and stoneware that allow you to enjoy an overflowing pool without this system being damaged over time. Those made of plastic used to deteriorate over time and this generated many problems. With these materials the same thing will not happen.

Combine your pool with the colour of the surroundings
Some of the projects in Godopools that have this overflow system with a hidden channel are, for example, the Marmara project. In this case it is made with stone and it melts with the colour of the environment to the point that you do not know where the pool begins. It is part of the environment, it blends in with it.
There are also other projects that, thanks to the overflow system with a hidden channel, allow the pool to blend in with the colour of the space in which it has been placed. For example, the Gardenia or Cortesín project. The water is at the same level as the surface, but without coming out. This is essential and possible thanks to the hidden channel system.
At Godopools we use stone and stoneware for the overflow system for pools with a hidden channel. These materials are very durable and do not deteriorate over time. You might think that this system will be in contact with water, so it is important to be resistant. In addition, these materials allow the pool to blend in with the environment.

Merging the luxury pool with the terrace is possible thanks to the use of stone and stoneware. Furthermore, aesthetically the result is much more beautiful than if plastic was used. A material that is not at all useful and that in time will cause changes to be made, which is a totally unnecessary investment if you have this overflowing system with a hidden channel for your luxury pool.
Without spoiling the views, in an environment that merges and with very clean materials, pools with a hidden channel overflow system achieve a very beautiful effect. At Godopools we have several projects that we have already mentioned so that you can see the result. It is one of the best options for your pool.
HI! do you have to sectional detail for this overflow drain?
Dear Heng, Thanks for your comment. We do not have sectional details of overflowing systems at your disposal, as they are included in the 3D designs of our pool projects. They are designed and customized for each particular pool project. Kind regards, GodoPools
Hi
Beautiful pool!
Can you tell me are the tiles on the outside of the channel higher that the ones under water? And if so by how much? Or is the 1.5cm channel sufficient to stop any water from going astray? Many thanks
Dear Diana:
Thanks for your comment.The tiles are all in the same level. 15mm would be enough for a normal use. If the pool is going to be used by many children, then it would be recommendable a double channel, to collect the occasional waves of bathers. We hope this information is useful to you. Regards!

Hi there, great look. I’m a pool constructor based in Mexico working on a similar project… How do you clean the overflow channel? Is the material on top of it loose so you can take it off and clean? Or in your experience, what is the best solution?
Thanks!
Hi Iñigo! Overflow channels can be built with fixed or loose top. If you go for the loose option, it is easier to remove it to clean it. However, most of the times we build a fixed top in overflow channels, because with the 1.5cm you have in it, it is also easy to have it clean. On the other hand, as the overflow channel always has water circulating around it, it remains very clean and does not really need much cleaning effort. We hope to have helped you. Thanks for your comment! GodoPools
