What is a pool gutter?
The primary purpose of a swimming pool gutter is to skim debris from the water surface. The operating water level is set slightly above the gutter lip such that water around the full perimeter of the pool continually flows into the gutter trough.
How does a pool gutter work?
They capture water that is filtered and returned to the pool through floor inlets. The concept of a gutter is simple: capture surface water around the entire perimeter of the pool. Water flows over the lip of the gutter and into the trough on the other side, which leads it toward one or more collection points.
Does an infinity edge pool need a skimmer?

Do pools have to have a skimmer?
Short answer: not really, so don’t worry about it if you don’t have one installed. They tend to break easily. But they’re useful. A floating skimmer weir is a gate that keeps debris the skimmer collects from going back into the pool when the pump’s off.

What is the purpose of a swimming pool surge tank?
A surge tank is a water containing vessel that takes water from a swimming pool perimeter gutter system. Swimmers create waves when they enter a pool, compete, swim laps, exercise or just play. The perimeter gutter system captures these waves, or surge of water, so that they do not rebound back into the pool.
What is a balance tank?
A balance tank is a vessel that keeps product at a constant level above a pump inlet and will generally have a level sensor to help maintain tank volume. As the pump draws more fluid from the tank, the tank level drops and a level device allows the flow of additional fluid into the tank.
