Should You Add a Waterfall Feature to Your Swimming Pool?

Waterfalls have become a trendy addition to many Barrie homes’ swimming pools. Why? They look stunning and sound incredibly soothing! When you include additional features to your swimming pool area such as an attractive waterfall, you are enhancing and customizing your backyard environment. Keep in mind that a waterfall will not only add enjoyment to your swimming pool experience, but it can also potentially add value to your home.

Waterfalls provide the best complement to lagoon-style or free form pools, and they provide elegance and charm to more standard shaped swimming pools. For a romantic vibe, create a private rock cave hidden behind your new waterfall. For great appeal consider underwater seating ledges! You’re truly not limited when it comes to how and where to incorporate your new waterfall!

Waterfall Considerations:

 

Design– What type of feel do you want your waterfall to provide? These can be designed to give off a modern, metro, classic or traditional feel depending on your unique style and the type of swimming pool you have of course. Think about what option offers the characteristics you are looking for, and whether or not it will compliment your property’s architectural style.

 

Lighting– Beautiful soft lighting surrounding your waterfall can add a dramatic night time effect, setting a romantic and relaxed mood.

 

Sound– In addition to the visual appeal a waterfall will provide your poolscape, it also creates a soothing sound any guest or family member would enjoy. There is nothing quite as relaxing and un-winding as the sound of moving water. These sounds can also be used to provide a barrier against unwanted city and neighborhood noises.

 

Your options for waterfalls are endless and as an additional benefit, waterfalls assist in cooling the water temperatures of your swimming pool. Whatever effect you’re interested in, at Bluediamond Pools we are dedicated to designing the perfect waterfall to fit your poolscape’s look and character.

While waterfalls and other water features are typically incorporated right into the construction of the pool, you have the option of adding a beautiful water feature to your swimming pool area, without significant renovation.
