Water Features For Pools of Different Sizes

Water features can really set a swimming pool apart and make it unique. As part of a pool remodel or pool renovation, the right water features can transform an existing pool into a whole new experience of sight and sound.

Before selecting swimming pool water features for your remodel, it’s important to consider not only the shape, but also the size of the pool. Below are some smart tips for selecting the best water features for your inground pool remodel.

Water Features for Small Pools

Having less space in and around a small pool can make choosing the perfect water feature a challenge. Typically, most of them work best by being positioned at one or both ends of the pool. That way, swimmers still have room to comfortably swim in the pool without having to worry about obstructions or obstacles.

• Consider building a rocky grotto or stacked stone wall with a tumbling waterfall at one edge of the pool so it doesn’t take up any of the actual swimming area.
• Deck jets take up almost no space and can be placed around the pool as an attractive pool water feature.
• Sheer descents are gorgeous and project a flat cascading sheet of water that adds sound and motion while taking up very little space.

Water Features for Large Pools

The more space you have, the more choices you have when it comes to water features. The key is not to go overboard and to try to stick to a theme or create a particular atmosphere with the features that you select. For example:

• Grecian style pools do well with ornate free standing fountains, statues, and spilling water bowls.
• Modern or contemporary pools should opt for more sleek water features, such as sheer descents, infinity edges, fire bowls, and scuppers.

Water Features Suitable for All Pools

Some pool water features will work with almost any size or style of pool:

• Inground spas with an added spillway
• Custom LED lighting
• Laminar jets that add a touch of color to deck jets
