What Are Pool Water Features & Fountains?

Pool water features include a variety of design elements that introduce flowing or moving water into the pool environment. These features can be architectural, subtle, or natural in style and are fully customized to suit the overall design vision.

Water features may be integrated into pool walls, raised structures, shelves, or surrounding hardscape elements.

Design & Performance Considerations

Effective water feature design requires more than aesthetics. Our team carefully considers sound level, splash control, wind exposure, circulation, and long-term performance to ensure each feature enhances the space comfortably.

When required, we coordinate with licensed professionals to support specialized hydraulic design or site-specific requirements.

Cost Considerations

The cost of adding water features varies based on the type, size, materials, and level of integration. Simple features may be subtle additions, while custom architectural or natural stone features can represent a larger design investment.

During your design consultation, we’ll explain available options and how each choice impacts the overall project scope and budget.

Frequently Asked Questions

When properly designed and installed, water features require minimal additional maintenance. Our team designs systems for reliability and ease of operation.

“We had a fantastic experience with Sunset! They were professional, timely and listened to our wants and needs when it came to the design, questions throughout the build and accommodating for life as the process pushed forward. Adam designed exactly what my dreams had in mind and Frank was a top-notch project manager, consistently checking that things were not only completed but completed correctly and catching any issues immediately so they could be rectified and was always responsive within minutes when I’d reach out. My kids and I now have the pool we’ve always wanted and I’d recommend Sunset to anyone building a pool!”
