Quick Summary
Selah Pools built a complete outdoor environment for the Miller family in Haslet featuring a 17,356-gallon pool with tiered spillover, 40-foot weeping wall, rock grotto, oversized tanning ledge, custom spa with six jets, Luder stone veneer, and IQ-900 automation system.
Key Takeaways
- The design process started with Selah's team sketching the layout directly on the grass during the next-day consultation.
- The pool features a six-foot tiered spillover, 40-foot weeping wall, rock grotto, and 70 linear feet of entry steps.
- Luder stone veneer and 6x6 tile create the material palette, with Clear O3 sanitization and Jandy app control.
- The complete build from permits to finish took just two weeks, with progress visible daily throughout construction.
When Krisztina Miller needed a pool design ASAP, Selah's team arrived the next day with a vision sketched directly onto the grass. The 17,356-gallon pool anchors a complete outdoor environment where every element serves family connection — from the oversized tanning ledge that welcomes multi-generational gathering to the six-foot tiered spillover that creates layered water movement. The 40-foot weeping wall establishes a dramatic backdrop while the intimate rock grotto provides quiet refuge. Seventy linear feet of pool steps ensure graceful access throughout, while the seven-by-seven custom spa extends the season with heated relaxation.
“I need it ASAP so they were here the next day and he just came up with the design by drawing on the grass and I was like wow okay we just need water now.”
Materials & Finishes
Luder stone veneer wraps the structures in natural Texas limestone texture, while 6x6 tile creates precise waterline definition throughout both pool and spa. The tiered spillover cascades six feet of water movement, complemented by the 40-foot weeping wall that transforms the entire pool environment into a sensory retreat. The small rock grotto provides textural contrast against clean geometric lines, while dual bubblers animate the expansive tanning ledge.
Design & Features
Advanced water management includes a 400k BTU JXI gas heater, Clear O3 sanitization, and Jandy app control through the IQ-900 system. The Polaris 280 cleaner maintains the 617-square-foot swimming area with automated precision.

Frequently Asked Questions
How quickly can Selah Pools complete a custom pool?
The Miller family's project demonstrates Selah's ability to deliver quality without compromise on timeline. Their complete outdoor environment — including a 17,356-gallon pool with tiered spillovers, 40-foot weeping wall, rock grotto, and custom spa — was completed in just two weeks from construction start. This efficiency comes from design-build integration where permits, engineering, and construction sequencing are coordinated as one seamless process. Every day brought visible progress, from excavation through final tile installation and equipment startup.
Can you design water features for multiple generations?
The Miller project showcases how thoughtful water feature design serves everyone from eight-month-old babies to grandparents. The oversized tanning ledge provides shallow-water access for toddlers and young children, while the custom spa offers therapeutic warmth for adults seeking relaxation. The tiered spillover creates gentle water movement that's soothing rather than overwhelming, and 70 linear feet of pool steps ensure easy entry throughout the swimming area. Every feature was sized and positioned to encourage family gathering rather than separation across the space.
What makes Luder stone veneer ideal for pool construction?
Luder stone veneer brings authentic Texas limestone texture to pool and spa structures while meeting the durability demands of constant water exposure. In the Miller project, this natural stone creates visual warmth against the clean lines of the tiered spillover and geometric pool shape. The material handles North Texas freeze-thaw cycles without deterioration, and its natural variation provides organic contrast to the precision-cut 6x6 tile waterline. The installation integrates seamlessly with the 40-foot weeping wall, creating material continuity throughout the complete outdoor environment.
How do you integrate rock grottos with modern pool systems?
The Miller family's small rock grotto demonstrates how natural stone features can complement rather than complicate modern pool engineering. The five-foot-long grotto provides textural interest and intimate refuge while working harmoniously with the circulation system's flow patterns. Precise waterproofing and structural integration ensure the natural stone elements perform as reliably as the engineered components. The grotto becomes part of the water's journey throughout the 17,356-gallon pool, creating quiet eddies that add visual depth without interfering with the Polaris 280 cleaner's coverage of the 617-square-foot swimming area.
What automation features help manage complex water features?
The Miller project's IQ-900 control system demonstrates how smart automation simplifies the management of multiple water features. The tiered spillover, weeping wall, custom spa jets, and bubblers all operate through integrated digital control, accessible via the Jandy smartphone app. The system coordinates the 400k BTU JXI gas heater, Clear O3 sanitization, variable speed circulation pump, and 1.5HP spa blower as one unified environment. Clients can adjust water temperature, activate features, and monitor system performance from anywhere, ensuring optimal conditions year-round.
