Build a Pool
Planning out your swimming pool should be fun! There’s so many options to choose from when designing a pool, that it can sometimes be overwhelming. In this article, we’re going to go over six incredible water features that you should consider for your swimming pool.
Waterfall
This classic water feature is often the one people immediately think about when they’re planning their pool. With waterfalls, there’s so many options, as you can choose from a rock-style cascade, a spillover design, and more. The sound of falling water helps swimmers relax, all while creating a stunning visual.
Benefits:
✔ Mimics natural landscapes
✔ Can be built with rocks, tiles, or stainless steel
✔ Increases the luxurious feel of your pool
Deck Jets
Deck Jets shoot arching streams of water from the pool deck into the pool. You may sometimes see them referred to as pool spouts. These can add a playful element to your pool. Pro tip: pair these with LED lightning for an awesome look at night.
Benefits:
✔ Low-profile design
✔ Customizable spray patterns
✔ Great for kids to play in
Grotto
Grottos generally feature a cave-like structure with a waterfall. This sets them apart from basic waterfalls, as you can swim through the “cave”. Some grottos have seating inside, giving swimmers a shady spot to cool off.
Benefits:
✔ Adds a resort-like feel
✔ Provides shade and privacy
✔ Can include hidden seating or swim-up bars
Laminar Jets
Laminar jets produce a smooth stream of water arcs into the pool. These jets instantly make a pool look high-end. Add some lighting and you’ll have a truly mesmerizing nighttime effect.
Benefits:
✔ Ultra-modern
✔ Non-splashing, clean water flow
✔ Ideal for infinity pools
Sheer Descent
A sheer descent creates a thin sheet of water that spills into the pool. It’s a popular choice for its sleek appearance and the calming sound of flowing water. Many offer control settings so you can adjust the flow to your liking.
Benefits:
✔ Luxurious look
✔ Soothing water sound for relaxation
✔ Can be customized in width and flow rate
Pool Slide
Few water features add to swimming pool excitement quite like a pool slide. Whether it’s a simple, straight slide, or a high-speed, twisting design, there’s an option for all different kinds of pool sizes and styles.
Benefits:
✔ Keeps kids (and adults!) entertained
✔ Available in various sizes and colors
Final Thoughts
Water features can turn an ordinary pool into something special. Whether you’re striving for a pool that has a modern high-end look, or a more exciting vibe that will keep the kids swimming all summer, there’s a feature out there that can fulfill your vision.
