How much does a mirror pool cost?

As you will have understood, the mirror pool is an expensive and relatively demanding piece of equipment . The overflow principle involves creating a water recovery system. For this, additional basins must be dug with great precision to ensure the proper functioning of the pool. Also, the filtration system of the mirror pool must be much more powerful, which also represents an additional cost.

For these reasons, the cost of a mirror pool is generally 30% higher than a traditional pool . It varies depending on the size, shape and options chosen for your pool, but the price of a mirror pool can easily be around €40,000 or even €50,000 depending on the constraints of your land.
