Frequently Asked Water Features Questions
-
What is an infinity pool, and how does it work?
An infinity pool from Bella Pools by Design, also called a vanishing edge pool, is a custom water feature that gives the illusion of water extending endlessly to the horizon. This effect is created by allowing water to flow over one or more edges into a hidden catch basin, where it’s filtered and recirculated back into the pool.
-
Are infinity pools more expensive than traditional pools?
Yes, because of the specialized engineering and design work required, an infinity pool water feature from Bella Pools by Design will cost more than a more traditional custom pool design. The overall cost depends on the pool size, the complexity of the vanishing edge, and any additional features like waterfalls, lighting, or custom materials.
-
What are the benefits of adding a waterfall to a swimming pool?
A custom waterfall is one of the water feature options offered by Bella Pools by Design that adds both beauty and function. The sound of flowing water creates a calming atmosphere, while the movement helps with water circulation, keeping the pool fresh. It also gives your pool a high-end, resort-style look, which elevates your outdoor space.
-
Can I add LED lighting to my swimming pool water features?
Yes! LED lighting can be built into waterfalls, fountains, and other features to make your concrete pool design stand out at night. Bella Pools by Design’s custom pool builder can integrate energy-efficient, low-voltage LED lighting in various colors and styles to match your outdoor space.
-
What is a perimeter overflow pool?
A perimeter overflow pool is designed by our custom pool builder so water flows evenly over the edges, creating a smooth, mirror-like surface that blends seamlessly with the surrounding deck. This swimming pool water feature from Bella Pools by Design adds a modern, sophisticated touch to your backyard.
-
Do water features like fountains and deck jets use a lot of water?
Not much. These particular swimming pool water features from Bella Pools by Design are designed to recirculate water within the pool system. However, some minor water loss can happen due to evaporation, especially in hot weather.
-
How do water descents and rain showers improve a pool?
Water descents create smooth, glass-like sheets of water that fall into the pool, while rain showers mimic natural rainfall for a peaceful, spa-like experience. Both of these Bella Pools by Design water features add movement and a sleek, modern touch to your gunite pool design.
-
Can I control the flow and pressure of my pool’s water features?
Yes! Many swimming pool water features installed by Bella Pools by Design come with adjustable settings, so you can customize the flow and intensity of fountains, waterfalls, and jets to match your preference.
-
Are infinity pools and water features hard to maintain?
Water features implemented into your custom pool design do require regular upkeep, such as monitoring water levels, maintaining proper filtration, and cleaning the catch basin to keep the vanishing edge effect working properly. With routine maintenance, they stay stunning for years, and our team at Bella Pools by Design will make sure you know all the details for upkeep.
-
