Swimming Pool Add-Ons

It’s all in the details…

If you’re going to build a custom swimming pool why not give it the features that make it really unique? From the sights of special lighting and “natural” features to the soothing sounds of bubblers, jets and rock waterfalls, or a rope swing. The extras will take your custom in-ground pool to the next level, making it the best spot in your home for lounging, entertaining and just getting away from it all.

Waterfalls

The addition of a rock waterfall to your swimming pool will enhance its beauty and create such a pleasant environment. Not only are waterfalls beautiful, water falling over rocks or tile also creates a sound that is soothing and meditative. We can even increase your waterfall’s fun factor by combining it with a slide or grotto or both.

Tanning Ledges or Sun Decks

A Baja shelf, also called a tanning ledge is a great addition to your swimming pool; they consist of a raised platform or area submerged in the water that is extremely shallow. A tanning ledge lets you stay cool while you sun. It can include space for chaise lounges, side tables and a shade addition such as a sun sail or umbrella mount. Talk with Splash Pad Pool Builder about the size, depth, and features that will meet your needs when you add a tanning ledge to your swimming pool.

Beach Entries & Sand Pools

Take the beach home with a “sand pool” or “zero entry pool”. A beach entry pool has one or more sides that gradually slope from ground level to transition into the water, just like a beach, to a depth of approximately a foot or so and typically has a deck and finish that looks just like a sandy beach. The beach entry replaces the top step and beyond that underwater steps lead further down into the pool.

Deck Jets & Laminar Jets

Deck Jets are playful, sparkling arcs of water that shoot out of your pool deck or surrounding landscaping. In the daytime they catch the sunlight and add shimmering effects to your pool. In turn, laminar jets, lit with colorful LED lights, give a dramatic effect to your nighttime pool. With automated controls, jets can be set to rotate through a range of colors and shooting patterns.

Bubblers

A pool bubbler sends a stream of bubbling water to the surface of the pool creating a mini geyser-like column of water. They are typically installed on a tanning shelf or other shallow area of your pool. You can also choose bubblers that have standard or color-changing lights built in. Like waterfalls, bubblers add a relaxing and natural sound to your pool.

Grottos

A grotto is a nook or cave-like space off your pool that is large enough to lounge in. It can provide a shady place to relax in your pool or can be combined with a swim through waterfall or slide. Depending on the size and configuration, a grotto can also contain other features such as seating, lighting or a hot tub spa.

Sheer Descents & Scuppers

A sheer descent is a type of waterfall feature. They can be adjusted to create a range of water effects from a rushing mountain waterfall to silent, glass-like sheet of water. Like sheer descents, scuppers are cascades typically installed on sheer walls bordering swimming pools and raised spas. The constant flow of scuppers help to control overflow of water out of your spa or pool keeping the water level as well. What also makes scuppers a popular upgrade option is the variety of designs that they come in. like sheer descents, they can act as a waterfall, spitting spout, a bubbling brook and more.

Swim Up Bars & Kitchens

A swim up bar is a fun wet/dry combination for your back yard pool. The wet side, or swim up, is in the pool and has “bar stools” installed in front of the bar. The dry side is typically a tiki hut or cabana over a bar, or outdoor kitchen, and is the side you serve from. A swim up bar is a great way to entertain in style.
