Design Challenge

The challenge: The raised spa spills over 270 degrees of its edge. A continuous sheet of water on three sides leaves no room for error: a few millimeters out of level and the spill breaks up.

The solution: We formed and finished the spillover edge to dead-level tolerances and balanced the plumbing so flow stays even across every side, keeping the water sheet unbroken all the way around.
