Who doesn’t love a swimming pool? Very few people will admit to that. Most of us enjoy the beautiful focal point of a pool and the relaxing buoyancy of floating in the water or doing laps for exercise. The joy of escaping the heat of summer into a pool is indescribable, but what would make it even better? Water features, of course!
Did you know there are many benefits of adding water features to your pool? First, water features can add to the ambiance of your pool, adding to the relaxation, or increasing the aesthetics of the area. For example, the movement or sound of water features can add a mood to your pool area and capture a feeling that is truly your own. The options available will allow you to personalize your water features in a way that suits you and your tastes. You could choose a waterslide to bring more fun and activity to your pool, or perhaps you’d choose a cascade to add flow and movement with just a touch of relaxation. Or perhaps your tastes lean more toward bubblers at the shallow end of your pool for a comfortable back massage, or you may like a fountain to give your pool that added flare.
Another benefit of water features is adding value to your property. You should note that water features often draw homebuyers to your home, enticing them with the excitement of a pool and the wonderful extra water features you have added. If you ever wish to sell your home, this is an important thing to think about. However, if this is your forever home, you should create the oasis you wish.
And finally, let’s discuss the last benefit of water features: health-related benefits. Water features help keep the water flowing and aerated. This keeps the water from sitting stagnant in pipes and helps keep the water quality of your pool clear and clean. Additionally, the calming nature of water features is known to reduce stress and calm anxiety. Therefore, not only do water features help keep the pool from building up bacteria as easily as a stagnant pool would and provide physical health benefits, but they also may ease stress-related mental health.
