Splash Pads are a Safer Way for Children to Cool Off

​When your child gets too hot, a splash pad is an excellent option. These water play areas for children do not have standing water and are designed for small children. They are a popular alternative to swimming pools and save water and energy because they filter and recirculate the water. Plus, they are much safer than pools and do not require lifeguards or staffing.

The main concern about splash pads is how to disinfect them. While the water may be sprayed, it is impossible to disinfect it properly, and the poop and pee in children can break down chlorine and bromine. Parents should remember to check their children's diapers frequently for signs of illness. And remember that swim diapers are not an effective deterrent to germs in the water. One child can be died from a brain infection that was caused by the Cryptosporidium germ, which can survive up to seven days in properly disinfected water.

Ornamental Fountains

​When deciding on a pool or water feature, consider the type of fountain you want. You can choose from a wide variety of shapes and sizes. Fountains can be set on a wall or waterfall, and some even have decorative toppers. Whether you want a simple, subtle accent or a dramatic centerpiece, there's a fountain for every taste and budget. You can also select a self-contained fountain that you can install yourself. Just make sure the fountain won't overpower the landscape.

If you're looking for a fountain that blends into its surroundings while remaining the focal point of your design, consider an ornate fountain made of stone. The water in this fountain should be drained or covered in the winter months. The manufacturer offers a limited three-year warranty for this fountain. It's an inexpensive option for those looking to accentuate the beauty of their gardens or pools.

How Pool and Garden Water Features Benefit Your Home and Family

​Pool and garden water features offer several benefits for your home and your family. Besides offering a soothing oasis, they produce a steady, relaxing sound, which acts as white noise and mutes other noises, helping you relax. Furthermore, water features such as waterfalls move the air through the falling water, making the surrounding area cooler. For children, a water feature is a safer option than a splash pad. 

Streams

​Streams such as pool and garden water features are a great way to create a natural setting and add soothing sounds to your surroundings. Streams can be constructed in a variety of ways, including through pebbles, from a pond, or by pouring over ledges into the pool itself. If you're considering building a stream, there are several important points to consider. Make sure to avoid areas with high winds or direct sunlight, and plan accordingly.

One unique type of water feature is a stream that flows down a granite wall. The water feature can be adorned with down-lighting, which illuminates the water at an angle. A stream is an excellent choice for indoor or outdoor settings, where space is limited. Another way to create a water feature in your garden or pool is to build an aquarium. We can create a variety of different styles of aquariums, from simple nature aquariums to Japanese-inspired Iwagumi water features.

Rain Curtains

​The beauty of a rain curtain is the sound and visual effect it brings to your outdoor space. It uses several gallons of water to create a calming sound and a beautiful visual effect. The rain curtain can be mounted on a wall or an overhang, like a pergola roof, and falls into the water feature. Because the water is collected, there is no splashing and it's completely splash-free. 

Water feature types vary widely, but a rain curtain will add a splash-free wall of falling water and an elegant atmosphere to your outdoor space. There are two basic types: the standalone and the curved. These can be used to create an enchanting waterfall or a wall of falling water. Water features can also be paired with other garden or pool accessories, like a fire bowl and waterfalls. Rain curtains are great additions to small backyards.

Reflecting Pools
Reflecting pools are a stunning way to turn any space into a private retreat. They bring a sense of serenity and calm and are the perfect way to escape from the stresses of everyday life. Whether you have a large reflecting pool or a small one, reflecting pools can make any area feel like an oasis. They create a sense of ambiance, making them the perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of daily life.

Custom Design Options
Water features are a great way to add a show-stopping focal point to your swimming pool. However, choosing the right one requires some attention to detail and planning. Some types of water features shoot up from the floor of the pool and fall back like miniature geysers. Others, such as waterfalls, sit on a Baja shelf. If space is an issue, a deck jet is an affordable option. It shoots a narrow stream of water into the pool. This feature includes the air in the jet, causing water droplets to separate as they spray upward.

Rock Waterfall

If you want to create a rock waterfall in your backyard, you should consider a location higher than your pool. This way, gravity will push the water down. While a waterfall is still suitable in a flat yard, adding a waterfall to a slope can save money and produce striking results. It also helps avoid the need for extensive excavation. There are many different types of rock waterfalls. You can choose from stone, sandstone, or even lava stones.

Rain Curtain

​A rain curtain is an excellent way to add visual appeal to your swimming pool or water garden feature. Its water trickles down the elevated beam in a stream of pencil-like droplets to create a stunning effect. Not only does it add to the aesthetics of your garden, but it also adds a relaxing sound. Installed on a pergola or wall, a rain curtain can be installed in a matter of minutes and requires very little maintenance.

​Splash Pad
Splash pads are typically made with fresh water or recycled water. In connection, this is best combine with lightning. Moreover, this water is treated to meet the same standards as swimming pool water. Many splash pads are also made with a non-slip concrete surface or crumb rubber. However, splash pads can also be custom-designed. They can even come with a waterfall or other water features. The key to a splash pad is deciding what you want from your water feature.

Statuary
When choosing statues, make sure you choose one with a low-maintenance design and a high water-retention capacity. A fountain that can pump water through the base can be quite expensive. However, an elegant fountain with a fountain built in is a great investment. Statues also give a pool a unique personality. Some of these can be animal statues, classical urns, or even columns. Many can be purged to create a water stream.
