Types of Pool Water Features

Pools of Fun offers a range of water features tailored to your style and space:

Waterfalls & Cascades

From natural rock formations to sleek, modern waterfalls, these create beautiful sights and soothing sounds.

Sheer Descents

A clear, smooth sheet of water that arcs gracefully from a wall or beam—ideal for modern and traditional designs.

 

Bubblers & Sun Shelf Jets

Located on tanning ledges or shallow play areas, bubblers send gentle streams of water upward, perfect for kids and relaxation.

Deck Jets & Laminar Jets

Thin streams of water shoot from your deck into the pool, which can be lit with LED lights for nighttime magic.

Scuppers & Spillways

Water flows through narrow spouts or channels, often used on raised walls or spas spilling into pools.

Rain Curtains & Water Walls

Sheets of water fall from overhead beams or into vertical walls, creating dramatic visual effects.

Fountains

Freestanding or built into the pool, fountains spray water into the air, adding movement and sound.

Our designers will help you choose the right combination to match your pool’s style and your personal preferences.

Design & Placement Considerations

Designing a water feature isn’t just about choosing a style—it’s about incorporating it into your pool’s structure and surroundings:

 

  • Size & Scale: Water features should be proportional to your pool’s dimensions and your overall yard.

  • Aesthetic Harmony: Natural rock waterfalls suit free‑form designs; modern sheer descents complement sleek rectangles.

  • Sound Level: Determine whether you want a gentle trickle or a louder splash; different features produce distinct sound profiles.

  • Lighting: Adding LED lights to jets or waterfalls enhances nighttime ambiance and highlights the movement of water.

  • Location: Placement is critical for optimal water flow and visibility. Features near seating or dining areas provide visual interest and soothing sound.

  • Plumbing & Equipment: Some features require dedicated pumps or pumps with greater flow to operate properly.

Our experienced team ensures that your water feature is both beautiful and functional, taking all these elements into account.

Benefits Beyond Beauty

Water features enhance your pool in practical ways:

 

  • Sound Therapy: The sound of flowing water masks street noise and creates a calming environment.

  • Interactive Play: Jets, bubblers and fountains invite playful interaction, keeping children entertained and encouraging activity.

  • Increased Circulation: Moving water helps distribute heat and chemicals, improving water quality and potentially reducing maintenance.

  • Cooling Effect: Waterfalls and aeration features can help reduce water temperature slightly, making your pool more comfortable during hot summers.

  • Custom Personalization: Water features allow you to express your style and set your pool apart from the ordinary.

These benefits make water features an investment in both enjoyment and pool health.
