Swimming Pool Water Features

By , About.com Guide

A really fantastic pool builder in Florida explains it best: When you are sitting on the lanai with your back to the sun, reading the paper on sunday morning, and enjoying a cup of coffee, you still should enjoy your pool. The key is some kind of water feature in every backyard. This is a way to not only bring your pool up onto your patio, but it is a way to literally bring the outdoors in on those days too brisk to swim, but perfect for airing the house with open windows. It can be a simple urn pouring into a basin, or as elaborate as a tropical waterfall oasis.
