Precision Meets Minimalism
Perimeter edge pools—also known as knife-edge or slot-edge pools—offer a sleek, modern look where the water sits flush with the pool’s surroundings. The result is a mirror-like surface that reflects the sky and surroundings, creating a dramatic and elegant aesthetic.
What Is a Perimeter Edge Pool?
Unlike traditional pools, perimeter edge pools feature a continuous slot or channel around the perimeter where water overflows evenly on all sides. The water is then collected, filtered, and returned to the pool—creating a perfectly level and constantly moving surface.

Key Benefits
- Architectural Elegance: A clean, contemporary appearance that complements luxury homes and landscapes.
- Mirror-Like Effect: A perfectly level water surface reflects architecture, landscaping, and sky beautifully.
- Silent Circulation: Smooth, quiet water movement with no visible skimmers or turbulence.
