Basins look really shallow

10 years ago
I really like the design but with basin so shallow don't you have problems with vortexing and noise? Is the depth enough for bather surge and evaporation?

    We don't have an issue with vortexing due to the Paramount MDX drain that is used. The tank capacity is around 2500 litres so it does require careful balancing in relation to top up and overflow. We also have a circulation pump on a sensor in the tank to deal with surge. We were limited for size due to both fencing regulations and an easement on site.
