Large Swimming Pools: Falling Water - A Weir and Sheer Descent Waterfall
A weir and sheer descent waterfall reinforce the grandeur of this rural Auckland project.
The solution was a 25m swimming pool built by Richard Rowley from Mayfair Pools North Auckland. But it is not just the size of the pool that impresses – it is also the special features. Water flows from a waterfall in a schist wall at one end, continuing under a bridge into the main pool. Water also flows from the main pool, over a weir with an infinity edge, to a collection pool positioned closer to the house.
The seamless look of the landscape is enhanced by the absence of pool fencing. The whole pool area is elevated 1.2m, which meets safety regulations.
The swimming pool has a Royal Blue lining, and an automatic transparent pool cover. This ensures the bright blue colour can be enjoyed at all times. The pool is heated by a heat pump and includes a Rolachem automatic chlorine and PH controller.
