Hello,
We're in the build process and our large free form spa was designed to have a "negative edge" spillway into the pool. The plan was to tile the surface of the spillway (top), and stone veneer the entire outer wall of the spa. This will be a salt water pool with a separate spa pump.
The pool builder made a mistake of extending the concrete "lip" around the perimeter of the pool, to the area underneath the spa. This was later covered with travertine coping, which currently sticks out about 6-7 inches. Even after the thin stone veneer, this lower edge would stick out 3-4 inches. The water from the spillway will end up spilling onto the travertine coping instead of into the pool.
Is there any way to salvage this mistake and have the water spill into the pool and not splash onto the travertine? I am assuming that when the pump is fast the water could overshoot the travertine lip, but otherwise under normal conditions it would just dribble onto the travertine.
Has anyone encounter this dilemma? Any opinions greatly appreciated. Pictures attached.
