If you’re planning pool construction or already have a swimming pool, ask your contractor to add an interesting water feature to the design. Running water improves the beauty of your outdoor area, creates soothing sounds, and makes it more fun to play in the pool.

5 Water Features for Your Home Pool

1. Fountains

From a little, bubbling fountain in the middle of the pool to multiple streams of water, this feature can be as simple or elaborate as you want.  Fountains add an element of height and variety, making your pool area more interesting. Match your fountain to your landscape design. For example, opt for a small, flowing feature for a Japanese zen garden.

2. Jets

A jet shoots a thin stream of water from your deck area or garden into your pool. Choose a simple, inexpensive deck jet or a more advanced laminar one that produces a steady, clear stream of water. Light your jets with LEDs for a colorful, eye-catching display.

3. Waterfalls

Not only does a waterfall imitate gorgeous natural scenery and sounds, but it's also a fun feature to swim under. Your waterfall design can be small or towering, depending on the space available.

4. Scuppers

This is an area where water is encouraged to run horizontally over a long, low lip. It creates a thin, clear sheet of water over the edge of your pool, which catches the light and adds an elegant touch to the area's design.

5. Water Walls

This is similar to a waterfall, but instead of falling through the air, the water runs down the face of a wall. It can be made of stone, decorative concrete, tile, or a range of other materials. This feature is more discrete and is ideal for smaller spaces.
