Water Features
Custom Pool Features Additions for Your Pool!
Water features can bring a whole new dimension to your backyard. From something like a simple laminar to a more extravagant feature like a natural waterfall, the concept of moving water attracts attention and gets people talking. By incorporating water features into your poolscape, you’ll not only add an artistic element but more depth and character, as well. From tanning ledges, tiered spillways, sheer descents, and more, the pool design experts at Pro Pools can help you select the right water feature that complements your swimming pool and backyard retreat.
Bubblers are fun water features that spout up from shallow pool surfaces like steps and beach entries. When combined with the right aesthetic lighting, they can create striking centerpieces to a variety of swimming pool styles. When placed on a beach entry or tanning deck, they create a fun splash pad for small children and big kids alike.
Swim-up bars are a great way to bring the fun of having a cocktail or food served to you in the pool, because if you don't have to get out, why would you? These areas feature built-in bar stools made of stone, tile or precast finishes and a bar that can be adorned in glass tile or beads. The options are endless.
A spillover is cascading water that spills over from your spa to your pool. This water feature creates a soothing water sound with an elegant, majestic look.
Rain curtains are designed to create the illusion of a wall of rain. Often times, rain curtains are built into the top of a pergola or arbor, and the water falls like rain drops into the pool, creating a stunning visual effect that also produces the relaxing sound of falling rain.
Sheer descents are water features that gently pour into the pool from pool or spa walls and come in configurations as various as a "sheet of glass" effect to sheets of rain-like droplets. They range in size from a few inches wide to several feet for a plethora of elegant looking applications, all providing the soothing sound of falling water!
The use of LED lighting in your backyard poolscape adds a whole new dimension to the look you're trying to achieve. Whether you're incorporating LED accent lighting throughout the project or into custom features like rainfalls, bubblers, and steps, a little illumination goes a long way.
A sun shelf or tanning ledge is a flat ledge typically located at the entrance of the pool. This is the perfect location for a lounge chair or the sun-worshipper who wants to avoid getting overheated from the sun or fully submerged while still enjoying the pool. Depth can range from 0-9” in depth.
Similar to the shallow tanning ledge, our deep tanning ledges add another element to relax in your pool while avoiding the sun and being submerged while still enjoying the pool. Depth can range from 10-18” deep.
What better way to enjoy the outdoors during the cooler months than gathered around an outdoor fireplace or fire pit with family or friends? Whether roasting hotdogs and marshmallows, singing campfire songs, or simply curling up with a hot cider and a good book, the comforting glow of an open flame has an undeniable allure.
