Water features can bring a whole new dimension to your backyard pool. From something like a simple deck jet 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.
What Are Water Features?
Water features are anything that is placed in or around your pool that can release water. Here are 5 options to keep in mind when looking for a great water feature to create that serene backyard environment.
1. The Rock Waterfall
The waterfall is a common feature that has been popular for many years. There is nothing that looks more stunning or more spectacular than a precisely placed waterfall. Backyard waterfalls could even be backlit to add extra ambiance; the possibilities are endless. Not only is this feature beautiful to look at, but it also creates a steady peaceful sound in your pool.
2. Fountains
Fountains are always a lovely addition to any backyard living space. They can be placed in a variety of places, including directly in the pool or on the edge of the pool deck. There are so many different options when choosing a fountain for your own yard; you can truly choose a style that represents your personal tastes.
3. The Oasis Feature
This is a wonderful water feature that is built directly into the wall of your swimming pool. Placed above the water level of your pool, the return water will run across a tray and empty into your pool. The fall of the water can be minimal or it can be increased for more intense enjoyment. This is a great opportunity to create something truly eye-catching to your pool.
4. Deck Jets
If you like the look of fountains but are looking for something a bit more unique, then maybe you need to utilize the deck jet. Deck jets are essentially fountains that are placed inside your pool deck and they shoot water directly into your pool. Kids love this feature!
5. Custom Cascades
Perhaps you would like to have your returned water come from a decorative element, such as a decorative pot. If so, then this is the feature for you. This is a basic function of every pool, but it is spiced up with the addition of an aesthetically pleasing clay pot.
