Pool Fountains

Elevate Your Pool with Splash and Style

Whether you want a playful splash or a refined cascade, adding a fountain to your pool can transform it into a stunning centerpiece. Fountains deliver visual drama, gentle sounds and even a bit of cooling effect on hot days. Pools of Fun offers a variety of fountain styles and custom designs that blend seamlessly with your existing pool and landscape, creating a dynamic focal point that delights both children and adults.

Why Choose a Fountain for Your Pool?

A pool fountain isn’t just a pretty addition—it’s an experience:

 

  • Visual Appeal: Moving water adds elegance and sophistication, turning your pool into a showpiece.

  • Soothing Sounds: The gentle splash of a fountain provides a relaxing soundtrack and masks unwanted noise from traffic or neighbors.

  • Interactive Fun: Jets and sprays create playful water effects, perfect for kids to play under and cool off.

  • Aeration & Circulation: Fountains help circulate and aerate water, improving water quality and potentially reducing algae growth.

  • Heat Reduction: In warmer climates, fountains can help lower water temperature by adding air and evaporative cooling.

  • Customization: From dramatic jets to subtle trickles, you can choose a style that perfectly matches your taste and pool design.

These benefits make fountains a versatile addition that enhances both aesthetic and functional aspects of your pool.

Types of Pool Fountains

  • Spray Fountains: Stand‑alone or deck‑mounted units that spray water into the air, often adjustable for height and spray pattern.

  • Built‑In Fountains: Integrated into the pool’s structure or coping, such as cascading spillways, water bowls or wall‑mounted spouts.

  • Floating Fountains: Easy-to-install devices that float on the water’s surface and spray upward, offering quick and simple decorative effect.

  • Laminar Jets: Clear, arcing streams of water with smooth, glass-like appearance—often paired with LED lighting for nighttime drama.

  • Column Jets & Bubblers: Vertical jets that send water up in a column or bubble up from shallow areas, adding excitement to sun shelves.

  • Multitier Fountains: Feature multiple levels of cascading water, often integrated into raised walls or planters for visual impact.

Our consultants will guide you through the choices to find a fountain style that fits your vision and budget.

Custom Design & Placement

Designing a fountain involves more than choosing a spray type:

 

  • Pool & Deck Integration: Built‑in fountains require planning for plumbing lines, pump capacity and deck configuration.

  • Scale & Proportion: The height and width of the fountain should be proportional to the pool’s size and depth.

  • Lighting: Incorporate LED lighting to highlight water arcs and jets for a breathtaking nighttime effect.

  • Material & Finish: Copper, stone, stainless steel or cast concrete finishes can match your pool’s aesthetic.

  • Sound Level: Decide whether you want a quiet, trickling fountain or a more dramatic splashing effect.

  • Location: Position your fountain where it becomes a focal point—near seating areas, sun shelves or at the end of the pool for dramatic views.

With Pools of Fun, your fountain can be a signature feature designed for your specific space and style.

Installation & Integration

Fountain installation varies depending on type:

 

  • Built‑In & Deck‑Mounted Fountains: Our team will install plumbing lines and specialty fittings, connect to your pump system or install a dedicated pump and integrate finishes seamlessly into the coping or decking.

  • Floating Fountains: These require minimal installation—simply connect to power or solar panels and place in the pool.

  • Retrofitting Existing Pools: We evaluate plumbing and pump capacity to ensure compatibility, making retrofitting possible for many pools.

  • New Construction Coordination: For new builds, we design your fountain to be part of the overall plan, ensuring optimal placement, flow and aesthetics.

After installation, we test all components, adjust spray patterns and ensure the fountain operates properly with your pool’s circulation system.

Maintenance & Care

Proper maintenance keeps your fountain performing and looking great:

 

  • Cleaning: Regularly remove debris and check for calcium build‑up on nozzles and surfaces.

  • Pump Care: Fountains with dedicated pumps require periodic inspection and servicing to maintain proper flow.

  • Winterization: In colder climates, remove or drain above‑ground fountain components and shut off water supply before freezing temperatures arrive.

  • Adjustments: Over time, spray patterns may need minor adjustments to maintain desired height and direction.

  • Lighting Maintenance: Replace or clean LED lights as needed to keep illumination vibrant.

Pools of Fun provides maintenance services to keep your fountain running smoothly and can supply instructions for homeowners who prefer to handle simple tasks themselves.
