While the advantages seem great, there are disadvantages of hidden water pools that need to be considered:
Extras do not really fit the design. Diving boards and slides would not be a bonus on a hidden water pool. When the platform was raised, the extras would look out of place. Water jets would be about the only real option that would be hidden when the platform was raised.
Small pools would not be worth the investment. Many people who have small pools or plunge pools would not need to invest in hidden water pools because the area that they cover does not add enough space to worry about.
Intricate layouts cannot be accommodated at this time. The hidden water pools are only available in circular or rectangular patterns.
