· Negative-edge spillway walls are feature that recycles water from the pool. The attractive look of water sheeting over the walls of the swimming pool is a feature with the water flowing into balance tanks that hold it before recycling it through the filtration system into the swimming pool.
· Evaporation reduction is important when it comes to creating environmentally friendly water features, and one way to reduce evaporation is to regulate water flow.
· Minimising sun exposure or building the swimming pool in an area that does not bear the full force of prevailing winds can reduce evaporation rates. If this isn't possible, you can create windbreaks, possibly through open-canopied trees, hedging or open-framed fence extensions.
· Automated systems can virtually eliminate unnecessary water loss from water features.
