Home swimming pools are already a great place for recreation and relaxation, so why go to the extra expense of putting in water features? There are plenty of reasons you may want to think about adding one or more water features to your backyard oasis. In this article, we’ll touch on some of the most exciting benefits which water features have to offer you.
Water Features Upgrade the Appearance of Your Pool
Whether you have a standard rectangular or oval pool or you have a custom pool design, adding a water feature can add a real wow factor to the look of your pool. There are a whole host of different options to choose from to create just the look you want to achieve. If you’re going for a sleek, modern-looking pool with dramatic angles, consider adding a sheer descent. A waterfall cascading from a grotto surrounded by lush landscaping can help transform your yard into a tropical paradise.
Sprays and fountains infused with color-changing LED lights can allow you to have your own private water light show every night. You can even add holiday-colored lights around Christmastime, or red, white and blue lights for a festive Fourth of July. If you want to increase the aesthetic quality of your pool, adding a water feature may be just the right pool improvement project for you.
Water Features Enhance the Sound of Your Pool
If you own a pool, you may have noticed the refreshing sound of a cool breeze that blows across the water on a warm summer afternoon. Imagine being able to enjoy that same type of tranquil audible experience any time you want to when you include a water feature into your pool design. Your water features, such as spillways or waterfalls, can mimic the type of peaceful sounds you would hear coming from a natural stream. You can sit back on your patio, close your eyes, and picture yourself in the middle of the woods beside a babbling brook without ever having to leave your property.
Water Features Can Add Adventure to Your Pool
One of the biggest reasons to consider installing a water feature in your backyard pool is the fun factor which they have to offer you, your friends, and your family members. Children and adults alike love being able to feel the water trickling down on them from a waterfall or spillway. They take delight in being able to play in and around the sprays and fountains. Careening down water slides may be the absolute highlight of the summer for some of your favorite pool guests. With a cool new water feature or two, your backyard can become everyone’s favorite destination for fabulous pool parties.
Adding water features to your swimming pool can transform the look and feel of your pool from mundane to magnificent. Whether you choose sprays, waterfalls, fountains, deck jets, slides, or some other unique water feature, the choice is up to you. Chances are likely that you’ll be so happy with your new water features, you’ll start looking for more to add in the years to come.
