What are some of the concerns or issues associated with an infinity edge?
In my particular situation the lot itself is flat but we have to retain our own rain water so landscape design we will have a grassed sunken down section of the backyard. This elevation change is roughly 30" and will be directly to one side and the rear end of the proposed pool location. I can do an infinity edge if I desire because of this but I really want to assess the concerns or issues associated with such a design.
My personal uneducated concerns are that the pump will have to be running more frequently and there will be additional pumps/equipment that will eventually break. Of course, it will cost more and the tile on the drop will end up looking bad over time from not having constant water on it. Also, in this particular case the lot is flat so even though I can achieve an infinity edge you'll still end up looking straight into some landscape and fence rather than endless sky or something like high-rise infinity edge pools.
Help appreciated! I can totally see doing an infinity if you lived on a mountain side but I'm not so sure how great of an idea it is on a flat piece of land.
