Water features transform ordinary swimming pools into extraordinary backyard destinations that captivate the senses and create lasting memories. The gentle sounds of cascading water, the visual appeal of moving streams, and the therapeutic benefits of hydrotherapy combine to elevate your pool experience beyond simple swimming.
At Custom Pools of Lubbock, we specialize in integrating stunning water features that complement your gunite pool design while providing years of enjoyment. From elegant deck jets to dramatic waterfalls, our water features are designed to enhance both the aesthetic appeal and functional value of your outdoor oasis.
Deck Jets: Elegant Arcs of Water
Deck jets create graceful arcs of water that shoot from your pool deck into the swimming area. These features add movement and sound to your pool while creating stunning visual effects, especially when illuminated with LED lighting systems. Starting at $4,000, deck jets offer an excellent entry point into water feature enhancement.
The adjustable nature of deck jets allows you to control the height and direction of water streams, creating different moods throughout the day. During parties, they provide entertaining focal points, while quiet evenings benefit from their soothing sounds. Multiple jets can be coordinated to create choreographed water displays that complement your pool’s overall design.
12′ Wall with Sheers: Dramatic Water Curtains
For homeowners seeking dramatic visual impact, our 12′ wall with sheers creates stunning water curtains that serve as both water features and architectural elements. Starting at $7,500, these installations provide sophisticated elegance that transforms your pool area into a resort-like environment.
The sheer effect creates smooth, glass-like sheets of water that cascade into your pool, providing both visual beauty and the relaxing sounds of flowing water. These features work particularly well with evening lighting, creating spectacular illuminated water displays that serve as focal points for outdoor entertaining.
Scuppers: Sophisticated Water Spouts
Scuppers offer a more refined approach to water features, providing controlled water flows from elevated positions. Available as upgrades starting at $1,500 over standard installations, scuppers can be integrated into raised walls, spa spillovers, or architectural elements around your pool.
These features provide flexibility in water flow design, allowing for everything from gentle streams to more dramatic flows depending on your preferences. Scuppers work exceptionally well when combined with other water features to create layered water displays that add depth and complexity to your pool environment.
The Benefits Beyond Beauty
Water features provide practical benefits that extend beyond their obvious aesthetic appeal. The continuous movement of water helps improve circulation throughout your pool, potentially reducing the need for additional circulation equipment. The sound of moving water also creates natural white noise that enhances privacy and masks neighborhood sounds.
From a therapeutic standpoint, water features provide relaxation benefits that transform your pool into a stress-relief destination. The combination of visual beauty, soothing sounds, and negative ion generation from moving water creates an environment that promotes relaxation and well-being.
Design Integration and Customization
Successful water feature integration requires careful consideration of your pool’s overall design, size, and intended use. Our team works with you to select features that complement your pool’s architecture while meeting your aesthetic preferences and budget requirements.
The key to effective water feature design lies in proportional scaling and strategic placement. Larger pools can accommodate more dramatic features like extensive sheer walls, while smaller installations might benefit from carefully placed deck jets or scuppers that provide impact without overwhelming the space.
Lighting and Water Features
LED lighting systems dramatically enhance water feature appeal, especially during evening hours. Colored lighting can transform simple water streams into spectacular displays that serve as entertainment focal points. The combination of moving water and dynamic lighting creates an ever-changing visual experience that never loses its appeal.
Maintenance Considerations
Modern water features are designed for minimal maintenance when properly installed and operated. Most systems share circulation with your main pool equipment, eliminating the need for separate filtration systems. Regular cleaning of nozzles and occasional inspection of water flow patterns represent the primary maintenance requirements.
Quality installation ensures reliable operation and longevity. Our professional installation includes proper plumbing integration, appropriate pump sizing, and system testing to ensure optimal performance from day one.
Investment Value
Water features provide excellent return on investment through enhanced property value and increased enjoyment of your outdoor space. The relatively modest cost of features like deck jets provides a significant impact on your pool’s overall appeal and functionality.
For homeowners planning future sales, water features distinguish your property from standard pool installations and appeal to buyers seeking unique outdoor environments. The combination of visual appeal and functional benefits makes water features one of the most valuable pool enhancements available.
