Small Pool Water Features
Pool Water Features is the catch-all phrase to cover any type of splashing, spraying, shooting water display that you can add to your pool plumbing.
From a spouting statuary in the corner of the pool, to stacked rocks releasing a babbling brook, they take on many forms.
Today's photo blog is centered around small pool water feature ideas. The only limitation is your imagination (and your budget)!
Copper-finish Pedestal Fountains spill over into the pool for a soft splashy sound. Pedestal water features come in a variety of size, shapes and materials.
Sheer Descent® Waterfall placed inside of a simple faux stacked rock wall, backed by bamboo and Buddha, to qualify as a tranquil, 'zen pool'.
Chipped Slate Water Wall built into a low retaining wall. Fed by a 2" PVC pipe that separates into smaller branches to fill a small overflow trough, more or less evenly.
Rain Curtain Water Features are pretty special, and can be attached to any structure like a Pergola, or more elaborate arches, or where a patio roof overhangs the pool surface.
A Cascade Feature uses large flat rocks to create a tumbling river into the pool. A rubber membrane and lots of mortar is used to keep it leak-free.
This minimal wall scupper is barely there and can be turned on/off automatically with valve actuators, powered by a pool controller, and remote control.
Wall Spouts are a classic design, with floral designs or Lion's heads being popular, or in this case, simple copper scuppers. Raised walls also serve as retaining walls, for an upper deck area or planter area.
Deck Jets are a favorite for many pool builders. Small jets are placed in the deck to shoot a very accurate stream of water, which can also be colored with LED lights.
Adding small water features to your pool can be done as part of a renovation, or smaller spouts or fountains can be added anytime.
Pool Fountain Installation? Very small fountains or spouts can be tapped off of an existing pool return pipe, with a Tee fitting and a small valve. Larger fountains typically have their own dedicated pipe running from the equipment pad. Features with even greater water volumes are connected to a booster pump to supply it's own water, without affecting filtration or circulation.
