Pool Hydraulics Design
Ultra-luxury residential · Commercial · Water features

The engineering behind pools that look effortless.

I design the hydraulics for high-end pools, spas and water features in full 3D: flow calculations, balance tanks and catch basins, plant rooms, sized piping and conduit plans, and a complete quantity take-off (QTO), all modelled in Revit. Years of work on luxury estates in the United States, now available to pool builders and architects in Europe and the Middle East.

Projects

Two recent luxury residences, each designed in 3D from the first calculation to the construction set.

Project 01

Freeform vanishing edge pool with raised overflow spa

Pool typeVanishing edge overflowing into a catch basin and a water slide basin

A large freeform pool whose edge spills into a catch basin below, with a raised circular spa overflowing into the pool, a water slide landing in its own basin that is connected to the pool's catch basin, and a sun shelf with bubblers. Each area has its own return lines, and everything runs back to one plant room.

  • Vanishing edge with catch basin sized for the full overflow flow
  • Raised spa with an overflow channel and its own jet and air lines
  • Slide water supply, sun-shelf bubblers and wall returns on separate valved lines
  • Plant room with four separate filter systems, heating, sanitation and chemical feed
  • Plan and 3D views coordinated with the structural model

Project 02

Lautner / knife edge pool with spa and koi pond

Pool typeFully overflowing Lautner / knife edge, the most luxurious form of overflow pool

A long pool that overflows on every side, with an integrated spa and a deep end 18 ft deep. Overflow water is collected in large-diameter lines feeding a balance tank. Next to it sits a koi fish pond with its own separate equipment room.

  • Overflow on all edges, collected in 6" to 10" lines sized for full surge flow
  • Balance tank sized for swimmer displacement and surge
  • Deep end at 18 ft, with returns and suction designed for the full depth
  • Spa with dedicated jet pump and air lines
  • Koi fish pond with its own equipment room
  • Six filter and heater sets, CO₂ and acid pH control, automation

Drawings your crew can build from

Parts of the drawing set for a recent residence with a formal pool, an overflow spa, a granite sphere fountain and fire bowls. Every fitting is tagged and dimensioned, every level is marked, and every item is listed in the equipment schedule.

Have a pool on the drawing board?

Send me the plans and I'll come back with a fixed quote within 48 hours.

Every quote comes with a free project review. Before any work starts, I'll give you practical advice about the main project aspects, pipe routing, equipment room size and anything in the design worth fixing early.

Prefer to talk first? Ask for a 20-minute call and we'll go through your project together.

Want a full sample PDF set first? Email me with "Sample set" in the subject and I'll send it the same day.
