Water features make delightful additions to swimming pools. They can dress up a tired pool yard, bring an extra element of fun, or spark a little romance. The right feature for your pool will depend on the type of atmosphere you’re hoping to inspire.

Spillover Spas Or Hot Tubs

These types of water features are elevated above the main pool and have a small waterfall accent. Spillovers bring an element of excitement to the area. Surround the hot tub with plants, or include a wet bar for an extra whammy of fun.

Waterfalls

Waterfall features can be included for a touch of romance or to add a deeper level of mystery by installing them over a hidden cove to create a romantic nook. You can use this feature to also play up a spillover’s drama.

Classic Or Edgy Fountains

Fountains are a classic addition to a pool and bring a sense of elegance and beauty. They can be placed in the pool or on the deck, and are easily customized to fit in with any landscape.

Water Walls

For a modern, yet sophisticated atmosphere, consider putting in a water wall. These features cascade a curtain of water over a vertical wall. Add a splash of elegance with back-lit transparent tiles, or up the drama with a textured surface.

Bubble Or Deck Jets

There is just something fun about bubbles and water jets. Adding these types of features to your pool enhances that childlike wonder. It creates a whimsical air and a funky atmosphere.

You are not limited to just these five water features. They can also be built in your own personal style. When it’s time to give your pool a face lift, consult your pool repair and service vendor, think outside the box, and create a customized swimming experience for your family, friends, and yourself.
