Popular Pool Features
Tanning Ledge
A tanning ledge (also called a tanning shelf, baja shelf, or sun shelf) is a very shallow shelf in the pool that is usually at least 5 feet wide and 9 inches deep. This shelf acts as an entry point to your pool and can span its full or partial width. It should be just deep enough for you to be in the water without having to swim or float. Many people use it to relax, keep cool, read a book, or play. People also like to put furniture in their tanning ledges, including lounge chairs, umbrellas, and even small tables. This type of design has been around for a few years, but it's becoming increasingly popular thanks to its versatility and aesthetic qualities.
Spillover Spa or Spillways
Spillovers are incorporated custom-built into a spa that’s raised above the swimming pool. It functions as a type of functional water feature since it trickles or spills into the pool.
Spillways usually offer gentle running water sounds for function or effect. You can use spillways to pass pool water from one place to another through a small hole or cut-out slowly.
Bubblers
Also called gushers, bubblers are small jets in a pool’s shallow surface that shoot streams of pool water that bubble up and ripple. You can adjust the heights of the streams of water as well. They are fun pool water features that provide your pool with a unique appearance and can be the focal point for your remodeled or new pool. You can create a fun way to illuminate the night by adding colorful lights.
Scuppers and Sheer Descents
A scupper is similar to a sconce, and is a slot or spout that is attached to a wall or pedestal where water flows. Styles of water flow can include chute, trough, and sheet.
Sheer Descents are a waterfall that appear like a thin sheet of glass, and drops or forms an arc as it flows away from the pool wall. The opening of a sheer descent can range from half a foot to several feet wide. It is usually mounted flush with a top surface.
Deck Jets
Often called a laminar or pencil jet, this type of water feature is installed into pool decking and shoots a narrow, arching stream of water into the pool. For additional fun and drama, deck jets can be illuminated with color-changing LED lights.
Weeping Walls
Weeping walls, a type of pool waterfall, are weepers where the water actually comes in between the rocks and into the pool. Weeping walls are made by having a row of moss rock boulders two to three rocks high, forming a wall around part of your pool. Weeping walls not only look nice but add a beautiful babbling brook sound to your backyard oasis.
Pool Grottos
Grottos are one of the ultimate water features to add to a swimming pool. Imagine sitting underneath a natural rock grotto with water cascading in front of you. A natural rock grotto will have a large natural stone with a bench under it. The size of the grottos range from a 3 tons which is for one person to sit underneath to 5 tons which allows for two people to sit underneath.
