If you're seeking the ultimate in family time, try the many water park features to be had for your pool.

One of the most recent and perhaps grandest styles you'll discover is called the negative-edge pool. This design is stunning in that the pool itself is actually missing one or more of its boundaries, giving the impression that the water is extending beyond the edges of the pool or simply cascading off into nothing. In actuality, the pool does have all of its edges; some are just concealed in a water collection reservoir below the pool and hidden from view. The water that falls into this reservoir is then recycled into the top level through the pool's normal filtration system. Without exception, it's one of the most lavish looking designs on the market today, but the effect can only be achieved if the main section of the pool is situated above the reservoir portion of the pool. If there's any reservation as to whether a negative-edge pool would function in your backyard, talk with a professional pool construction company.
