Water Features That Transform the Pool Experience
Water features add a dimension that no amount of tile, stone, or lighting can replicate — movement and sound. A well-designed water feature transforms a quiet pool into a living environment. At Selah Pools, every water feature is engineered to create the right visual scale and sound level for the space, whether that's a dramatic grotto waterfall or a subtle row of bubblers.
The range of options spans from architectural to naturalistic. Sheer descents and scuppers create clean, contemporary lines — water falling in smooth sheets from raised beam walls. Grottos and rock waterfalls bring a naturalistic character, with hand-laid stone creating caves and cascades. Bubblers and deck jets add kinetic energy at the water surface, especially dramatic with LED color lighting after dark.
Every water feature runs on its own automation zone — controllable by schedule, by scene, or by phone. That means you can run the sheer descents during a dinner party, the bubblers during afternoon play, and shut everything quiet at night. One pool, multiple experiences.
Water Feature Types
Waterfalls & Grottos
Hand-laid natural stone grottos and cascading waterfalls — from dramatic resort-scale structures to intimate garden-scale cascades.
Sheer Descents
Precision-engineered water curtains falling from raised beam walls. Clean contemporary aesthetic with controllable flow width and volume.
Scuppers & Water Bowls
Architectural water spouts and fire-and-water bowls that combine elegance with sound. Popular on raised beam walls and spa spillovers.
Bubblers & Deck Jets
In-pool bubblers create upward plumes from the tanning ledge or shallow areas. Deck jets arc water from the coping into the pool — spectacular with LED lighting.

Water Feature Questions
How do water bowls and bubblers enhance the pool?
Water features like the dual water bowls and bubblers add both visual movement and soothing acoustics to the outdoor living space. These features create kinetic energy that makes still water feel alive, while the gentle sounds provide natural privacy screening.
Combined with the 6-layer tiered spillover, these elements transform a quiet pool into an active water sanctuary. Multiple water sources create layered soundscapes ideal for relaxation or conversation masking.
How do you integrate a sheer descent into contemporary design?
The key is treating the sheer descent as an architectural element rather than just a water feature. In the Kaini project, we anchored an 8-foot sheer descent in Trex Beach Dune casing that complements the home's contemporary materials palette. The casing becomes part of the hardscape design, creating clean lines that echo the geometric pool shape. This approach ensures the water feature enhances the overall design rather than competing with it — a seamless integration where the sheer descent serves both as focal point and architectural statement within the outdoor living space.
Can you build a grotto that doesn't look artificial?
Natural stone grottos require careful attention to proportion, texture, and lighting to achieve authentic cave-like atmosphere. The Golovich project demonstrates how skilled masons create rock formations that appear naturally occurring while housing LED nicheless lighting systems within the structure. The key lies in varying stone sizes, creating organic sight lines, and integrating dramatic uplighting that transforms the space after dark. When executed properly—as with this Mansfield residence—a grotto becomes both architectural sculpture and functional swim-through feature that anchors the entire pool environment.
How do you integrate multiple water features in a geometric pool?
Water features work best when they serve the pool's architectural intent rather than competing with it. In the Betik residence, the 36-inch sheer descent anchors one end of the composition while dual 18-inch stainless steel Pure Flow scuppers add movement from the raised spa above. The covered spillover at eighteen inches creates visual layers without overwhelming the clean geometric lines. Each feature contributes to both the soundscape and the visual rhythm, proving that contemporary design benefits from thoughtful water movement rather than stark minimalism.
How do you match different water features cohesively?
Design continuity comes through repeating materials and proportional relationships across all water elements. In the Hammer project, the Noble Deco copper lotus tile appears on both the pool waterline and the six-foot flat spillover connection to the spa, creating visual flow between separate vessels. The square copper water bowls echo this material choice while their geometry reinforces the contemporary lines throughout the outdoor living space. When every element speaks the same design language, individual features feel intentional rather than merely added on.
