Go With The Flow
by Debra Maurer“What makes water features so appealing is that fluid motion,” says Scott Cohen, pool designer and garden artisan at The Green Scene. “They reflect sunlight in interesting ways. In fact, laminar jets will actually increase a prism effect. If you have a vanishing edge or perimeter overflow, you get this beautiful mirror-like surface where the water is undisturbed.” If you want to include additional water features on a vanishing edge or perimeter-overflow pool, you'll want something that doesn't disrupt the stillness of the main body of water. This can be accomplished by adding a negative edge spa that carries the water into a channel that takes it just below the pool level, Cohen says.
