Add These Swimming Pool Features for a Truly Custom Experience

August 6, 2021/by Gabe

California is known for having wonderful weather conditions no matter what the season. That’s part of what makes it such an awesome place to have a pool. Of course, if you really want to make the most of your experience as a pool owner, you need to get yourself off to a good start. Part of that means making sure your swimming pool is customized specifically to you. So what features should you include?

Lighting

Lighting is an awesome way to customize your pool. Your creativity is your limit here. You can have underwater lights installed, which can be awesome for late night swims, as well as lighting surrounding your pool to keep things safe. Lights can also be used to highlight your favorite features to help show them off. You can even opt for lights that change colors to kick the fun up a notch. Choose LED bulbs when possible for better energy savings.

Water Features

If you thought there were a lot of choices for lighting, just wait until you start looking at water features. Waterfalls, misting features, jets, fountains, scuppers, water walls, rain curtains, sconces, and bubblers are just some of the options you can choose from. From there, you’ll need to pick the number of features, their locations, their sizes, and their arrangements. How do you want to work them into the landscaping of your pool? With so many choices to make, water features are a great way to make your swimming pool a truly custom pool.

Pool Fence

If your pool was built or remodeled in any way after 2007, it needs to have a fence. That doesn’t mean that it can’t look amazing though. There are different materials and styles of fences you can have, which means you can customize it to suit your pool and its surrounding. You could go with a removable mesh pool fence or something made from aluminum, wrought iron, or wood. Even glass is an option, though it will require dedication to keep clean. Just make sure that whatever you choose will be in line with California’s pool fence guidelines.

Pool features are a great way to make your swimming pool perfect for you. There are so many different options for lighting and different water features that it’s not too difficult to make your pool one-of-a-kind. Pool fences also come in different styles, proving that you don’t need to compromise good looks for safety. You’re sure to find something that works for you and your pool.
