Whether you’re looking for something calming and tranquil, like a waterfall, or something more dramatic and exciting, like a water slide or fountain, there are a variety of options available to fit your unique style and preferences. In this guide, we’ll explore the various types of water features available for your pool, their benefits, and how to choose the right one for your needs. So, let’s dive in and discover the perfect water feature for your pool!
Waterfalls
If you have kids in the house, they will enjoy both watching and playing with the cascading waters. Waterfalls can be installed alongside ferns and rock features, creating a sophisticated and contemporary look. Inspired by nature, pool waterfall designs can easily transform your pool into an oasis reminiscent of a tropical rainforest. Close your eyes and let the rushing waters ease your troubles.
Rainfall Curtains
We understand the importance of bringing the beauty of nature into your backyard. One water feature that achieves this is a rain curtain, providing both elegance and entertainment. To enhance the natural setting, a rock display or a beach-themed decor can be added, turning this feature into a style statement.
Water Wall
If you’re looking for a sleek and contemporary water feature for your pool, consider the water wall. Like a waterfall, water walls consist of a backsplash on one side of the pool with a wall blade that allows water to cascade out and flow down the surface of the wall.
The look of water walls can be further enhanced by the choice of construction material. Concrete or steel can provide a subtle and minimalist appearance, while the addition of colourful lighting and modern stone choices can give the design a touch of class.
Water Blades
Water Blades have become a popular choice for enhancing pools, having gained the attention of architects, landscapers, and garden designers. These blades serve as a focal point, but if you live near a road or flight path they can also help disguise the noise.
But, what exactly is a Water Blade? In simple terms, it consists of a specially designed wall-mounted box with a blade-shaped front lip. The box is supplied with water through a pump, causing the water to spread and spill out in a wide sheet.
High-quality water blades contain a hidden bank of baffle plates inside the box, which helps to spread the water out more effectively, creating a laminar and tranquil sheet as the water falls. Water blades are typically made of stainless steel, but other materials such as copper and plastics may also be used depending on your budget or the look you want to achieve.
Water Jets
Pencil jets, narrow arching streams of water also known as laminar jets are often installed on the pool deck. With the addition of LED lights, these jets can create a drama and style.
Water features have a unique ability to turn a stunning swimming pool into a breathtaking work of art. Swimming pools are water features in and of themselves, and they can be designed to complement any style. Whether you’re creating an elegant escape, a tropical resort, a family zone, or a romantic oasis, a water feature will elevate the ambiance.
You can add multiple water features to your pool at the same time to create a more romantic, fun, and exotic atmosphere. Our team at Sydney Poolscapes can help you design and install the perfect water features to transform your pool. Contact us today to learn more.
