What is a mirror pool?
The mirror-effect pool is a variant of the overflowing, or infinity, pool. But rather than overflowing on a single side, cascading into a lower, second pool, the water in a mirror pool flows equally over each of its edges. This is made possible by a channel system placed all around the pool.
