Infinity pools are stunning but come with unique maintenance demands. Learn how Pool Pro approaches infinity pool servicing in Paphos and the wider Cyprus region.
The Appeal and Challenge of Infinity Pools
Infinity (overflow) pools are increasingly popular in Paphos — particularly in hillside villas with sea views towards Coral Bay and beyond. The visual effect is spectacular, but the engineering and maintenance requirements are more complex than a standard skimmer pool.
How Infinity Pools Work
Water flows continuously over the infinity edge into a balance/surge tank below. From there, it's pumped back into the main pool. This constant circulation requires:
- Larger pump capacity
- A properly sized balance tank
- More sophisticated filtration to handle the extra volume
- Careful chemical dosing (the surge tank can become a chemical dead zone)
Key Maintenance Differences
The Balance Tank
This tank must be kept clean and chemically balanced — it's part of the pool system. Many owners overlook this, leading to algae growth in the surge tank that feeds back into the pool.
Edge Cleaning
The infinity edge lip gets heavy calcium and mineral deposits from the constantly flowing water. In Cyprus's hard water, this requires monthly cleaning with diluted acid.
Water Level Control
The automatic top-up system must work correctly. If the level drops too low, air enters the pump and damages it. These valves need annual servicing.
Higher Water Consumption
Evaporation is dramatically higher from infinity pools due to the large exposed surface of the cascade. Expect to use 15–25% more water than a standard pool.
