Three smooth glass-like ribbons of water rise from nozzles set flush in the pale travertine deck and arc cleanly through the air into the pool, each stream solid and unbroken like clear rod, softly lit from within. Deep blue evening sky, pool lights glowing under the surface, cedar fence and planting dark and softly out of focus behind. Sharp focus on the arcing streams, shot on a full-frame DSLR at f/2.8, realistic photography, natural color, no people, no text or logos.

Laminar Jets

Clear, arching streams of water that add a dramatic visual element, especially with lighting. Often placed along pool edges or elevated decks.

A sheet of water spills from a low stone wall into the pool, lit from behind in deep blue and violet so the falling water glows, with the pool below lit in shifting color, light rippling across the surface. The surrounding deck and planting are dark, only edge-lit. Night, no daylight, rich saturated color against deep shadow. Sharp focus on the glowing water, shot on a full-frame DSLR at f/2.8, long exposure, realistic photography, no people, no text or logos.

LED-Lit Water Features

Water features enhanced with color-changing lighting to create a dramatic evening look after dark. Programmable options let you set the mood.

Can You Add a Water Feature to an Existing Pool?

In many cases, yes. Poolie can evaluate your existing pool to determine what’s feasible and design a feature that fits within your pool’s existing footprint and systems.

Feasibility depends on:

  • Available space
  • Plumbing
  • Pump requirements
  • Electrical considerations
  • Pool structure
  • Existing equipment capacity

From there, Poolie can walk you through which water features fit your space and help you settle on a design.

Pool Water Feature Repair

A water feature that’s lost its flow or stopped working isn’t always a sign it needs to be replaced. Poolie can diagnose the issue and outline your repair options.

Common signs your water feature needs attention include:

  • Weak or no water flow
  • Uneven flow
  • Pump problems
  • Plumbing issues
  • Leaks
  • Lighting failures

Why Isn't My Pool Water Feature Working?

A water feature can stop working properly for several reasons, from a failing pump to a clogged line or an electrical issue. Since the cause isn’t always obvious, an on-site diagnosis is the most reliable way to find out what’s going on.

Poolie can inspect your water feature, identify the underlying cause, and get it working again.

Water Feature Plumbing & Equipment

Behind every water feature is a system of plumbing, hydraulics, and equipment that determines how it performs. Poolie accounts for these during installation and repair to keep your feature working beautifully.

Plumbing & Hydraulic Flow

The plumbing layout and hydraulic design shape how water flows. Poor design can lead to weak flow, uneven distribution, or excess noise. Poolie plans the layout to keep water moving smoothly and quietly.

Pump & Equipment Sizing

A properly sized pump powers the feature without overworking your pool’s system. Poolie calculates the right pump and equipment to meet your feature’s flow requirements and keep the system running efficiently.

Pool Water Feature Cost

Water feature costs can range significantly – a simple bubbler or deck jet may run in the low hundreds, while a custom multi-tier waterfall with lighting can run into the thousands. 

Pricing can depend on:

  • Feature type (waterfall, sheer descent, spillover spa, and so on)
  • Size and scale of the feature
  • Materials (natural stone, tile, precast, etc.)
  • Plumbing complexity
  • Pump and equipment requirements
  • Lighting (standard vs. color-changing LED)
  • Structural modifications to your pool or deck

Since every water feature is different, Poolie reviews your vision for the space and provides a project-specific quote before any work begins.
