An infinity pool, also called a vanishing edge or negative edge pool, has one or more edges built precisely level so water spills over into a hidden catch basin and is recirculated, removing the visual boundary between the pool and the view beyond. It is the single most dramatic effect in luxury pool design, and it is one of the most demanding to engineer. WETYR Pools is an infinity pool builder serving New Canaan, Connecticut, with the engineering discipline an infinity project demands.
Infinity pool construction in New Canaan is a precision project. The vanishing edge has to be set within a few thousandths of an inch of true level along its entire length so the water sheets evenly across the edge rather than concentrating at the low point. The catch basin has to be sized to handle the displacement of swimmers entering the pool. The pump and plumbing have to circulate the basin water back to the pool without affecting the visible water level. None of this is incidental; an infinity pool that is almost level is an infinity pool that does not work.
WETYR Pools delivers infinity pool projects in New Canaan as fully resolved design-build work. The design phase resolves the edge geometry, the catch basin design, the equipment specifications, the structural engineering, the deck and coping detailing, and the lighting. The construction is to the tolerances the design demands. The result is an infinity pool that produces the effect it was designed to produce, in a way that holds up to the years that follow.
Infinity pool work in New Canaan is also a site-specific engineering project. The structural shell, the catch basin, the deck adjacent to the edge, and the foundation under all of it are engineered for the actual soil, the slope, and the seismic profile of the site. Many of the most desirable infinity locations in New Canaan are on hillsides, cliffsides, or terraces where the engineering is the entire project, not just the finish. WETYR Pools engineers every infinity pool around the actual site, which is what makes the finished pool perform as designed for decades.
New Canaan pool design works in two dominant currents. The first is refined traditional and Colonial Revival architecture, with rectangular formal pools, stone coping, and pool houses matched to the established estate. The second is mid-century and contemporary modernism, particularly on the Harvard Five-influenced properties, with long rectangular pools, glass mosaic interiors, and architectural material restraint.

An infinity pool, also called a vanishing or negative edge pool, has one or more edges built precisely level so water spills over into a hidden catch basin, removing the visual boundary between the pool and the view beyond. It is the most dramatic edge design and the most demanding to engineer.
Precision. The vanishing edge has to be within a few thousandths of an inch of true level over its entire length. The catch basin has to be sized correctly. The plumbing and circulation have to balance the system without disturbing the visible water level. None of this is forgiving.
Anywhere there is a view to face. The most dramatic New Canaan infinity pools are on hillside, cliffside, or terrace properties where the vanishing edge frames the view beyond. WETYR Pools builds infinity pools on those sites with the structural engineering they require.
Infinity pools cost more than equivalent traditional-edge pools because of the precision engineering and the catch-basin construction. WETYR Pools delivers a fixed itemized proposal so the cost premium is clear and grounded in the actual design.
Sometimes. The structural shell has to support the edge modification, the basin has to be built, and the equipment has to be replaced with infinity-balanced circulation. WETYR Pools assesses these projects on a case-by-case basis in New Canaan.
Yes, when the engineering and construction are correct. A properly built infinity edge on a properly engineered structural shell stays level for the life of the pool. Settlement issues come from inadequate engineering, not from the infinity edge itself.
