Gorgeous Water Feature Ideas for the Pool Area

Installing water features is an excellent way to elevate the visual appeal of the swimming pool and add a wow factor.

A backyard swimming pool is a perfect place for fun and recreation. Installing water features is an excellent way to elevate the visual appeal of the swimming pool and add a wow factor. Whether installing a new pool or updating an existing one, these water features offer endless possibilities to create a wonderful ambiance and enhance the overall experience. 

Homeowners can choose from various water features, each offering different effects. Pool companies can even construct customized features to give the pool a unique look. So whether it is adding sound to the swimming pool or creating a focal point, here are some stunning water feature ideas to enjoy a luxurious oasis right in the backyard:

Fountains

Fountains can add luxury and elegance to any regular pool and come in different shapes and sizes. Choose from floating fountains, a pool fountain with lights, fountain bubblers, laminar fountains, or a pool bar with a fountain to create a relaxing environment. Fountains offer aesthetic benefits, the sound of water that comes from them relieves stress, and they help in water circulation to keep the pool clean. 

Deck jets

Deck jets, called laminar or pencil jets, are installed on the pool deck or coping. They shoot narrow and adjustable arcs of water stream into the pool. Deck jets are an affordable means to add fun and drama to the swimming pool for the enjoyment of people of all ages. Include lighting to create a breathtaking effect.

Sun pods

Sun pods include an array of bubblers to make the water seem gurgling upwards. They are a popular swimming pool water feature that adds visual appeal and does not hinder the pool’s functionality. 

Rain curtain

Rain curtains are mounted on a pergola roof, wall, or an overhang falling into the pool. Rain curtains create a narrow or wide sheet of water that falls continuously from a high beam into the pool, giving an illusion of rainfall. They offer a high-end luxurious look to a swimming pool. Add LED lights to create a showstopping visual to the yard. 

Water wall

A water wall is a luxurious feature to add to a swimming pool. It involves building a concrete wall from where the water flows down to create attractive visual appeal. 

Spillover spa

Spillovers connect the main swimming pool to a hot tub to create a stunning sight. It is ideal for pools situated at a higher level than a hot tub to help water cascade into the pool. In addition, pool companies can customize the spillover spa using decorative tiles. This water feature creates appealing sound and movement.

Water bowls

Water bowls, water pots, or waterworks are perfect to create a spa-like effect. Water bowls are round or square and made from varied materials, including stainless steel, concrete, and hammered copper. Place them on a raised wall or column, and the water comes out from the side of the bowl and cascades into the pool. 

Other pool water features include a pool geyser, a reverse infinity pool, and a spouting statue. 

Redesign the pool area

A high-quality, well-constructed water feature can help make the most out of the swimming pool. A local pool company can assist in choosing and installing the best pool water features.
