Terrific Features that Will Enhance Your Pool

Having a swimming pool in your backyard can be very satisfying. It’s an investment in the quality of life of your family and friends. But San Diego Pools suggests that these amazing features can help you get the most out of your pool.

Fire Features

Some features help you extend the fun into the nighttime hours. For example, you can have a fire pit installed in the side of your pool to keep you warm in the cool water and provide just enough light. You can fuel your fire pit using wood or gas, giving you more control over its use. If you don’t want a fire pit, consider fire pots instead. Fire pots can be placed around your pool, and you can even get them in different designs, which changes what you can do with them. Some of them are sculpted in ways that allow you to have small waterfalls as accessories. Another option is a poolside fireplace, which not only adds to your pool but also enhances your home and yard. A fireplace can be added to the edge of a pool to make it as cozy as possible.

Deck Jet 

There are many options you can choose from when adding a deck jet to your pool. It can be mounted on the walls of the pool or cast into the concrete used to build your deck. A deck jet can make your pool more visually appealing and greatly increase its value. The stream can be relaxing to watch and listen to. Deck jets often enable water arcs as tall as 2 meters. Most of them also allow you to adjust the direction of the water as well as its height. You can even get really creative and form rainfalls and water arches. 

Spa

The easiest way to add a spa to your pool area is to make it a spillover spa. A spillover spa is installed next to the pool, making it easy to use the same pump for both. Maintaining the water in both the pool and the in-ground spa won’t require any extra work.

Tanning Ledge

Located on the side of the pool, a tanning ledge lets you relax and lounge while still being close enough to the pool to get into it quickly. Tanning ledges are great for families with children, as they can also double as kiddie pools.
