When building a pool, first of all, you need to decide what your pool will be like in the type of water circulation.
According to the type of water circulation in the pool (according to the type of water intake) they distinguish:
- Overflow pools
- Skimmer pools.
A skimmer pool is a type of stationary swimming pool in which water is circulated through a pool skimmer.
If you have a question, what is the difference between a skimmer pool and an overflow pool, the answer is simple. In the skimmer pool, the upper ball of water enters the skimmer for the pool, after which it is completely cleaned in the system, and in the pool with overflow, the water overflows into the specially installed overflow troughs, and, accordingly, into the system for further cleaning and disinfection ... 
If you analyze which pools are better (skimmer or overflow), then, here, each buyer determines this for himself. A skimmer pool is cheaper than an overflow pool. By design, a skimmer pool is simpler than overflow. Skimmer pools are more reliable against accidental leaks. Skimmer pools are simpler, more convenient and more economical to use.
The skimmer pool can be equipped with several skimmers. The number of skimmers depends on the volume of the pool in the ratio of one skimmer per 25-30 m2 of pool water. Water filtration by means of a skimmer is a typical variant of small stationary pools by volume.
A characteristic feature that skimmer pools have is an underestimated water level of 10-15 cm in relation to overflow, where the water mirror is at a level with the side of the pool.
Through the skimmer, which the skimmer pools are equipped with, you can connect a vacuum cleaner for cleaning the pool.
The skimmer pool is also equipped with a circulation pump that pumps water through the skimmer and bottom drain into a mechanical filtration filtration unit.
Once in the pool system, the water undergoes full cleaning, heating by means of an electric heater and heat exchanger, chemical disinfection, and then returns to the skimmer pool through the circulation nozzles supplying water.
A hydraulic construction with a skimmer is more suitable for a small number of people, so a skimmer pool is still a more practical option for private use.
So you choose a skimmer pool or an overflow pool - the main thing is that the type of pool meets your requirements for a comfortable rest and convenient operation.
