A swimming pool is nothing if not straightforward. Cleverly incorporated water features add motion, sound, and visual drama to the pool area, turning it from a useful luxury into a truly memorable outdoor space. The leading companies that design swimming pools in Dubai are improving their use of water features, and the results are stunning.
Green Creation is a top swimming pool contractor in Dubai, UAE. Our design team really understands how different types of water movement can change the look and feel of a pool, and we have the technical know-how to carefully install complicated water feature systems.
THE PSYCHOLOGICAL IMPACT OF MOVING WATER
Before going into specific types of features, it’s important to know why water features have such a big effect on the pool setting. When water is moving, it changes us in ways that still water doesn’t. There is scientific evidence that the sound of water running or falling can calm you down. It blocks out background noise, makes you feel private, and encourages you to relax. Moving water creates a lively and endlessly different visual effect, making a pool look different from any angle and at any time of the day. Because it is hot in Dubai, water features are also useful. Small drops of water from fountains and streams fall into the air around the pool. As these droplets evaporate, they cool the area around the pool in a natural and pleasant way.
TYPES OF WATER FEATURES FOR DUBAI POOLS
Sheet waterfalls are a very popular feature in Dubai’s luxury pool market. They create a smooth, glassy curtain of water that cascades into the pool from a raised edge or feature wall. A header pipe pumps water up behind the feature wall. Then it flows over a specially shaped weir that creates the sheet effect. If you plan your sheet waterfall well, it will give you an almost perfectly even curtain of clarity. It will be lovely and pleasant to the ear. Green Creation specializes in the design of sheet waterfalls. We use stainless steel or stone headers and carefully build the weir profile so the water flows just right.
Blade Waterfalls: A blade waterfall will throw the water away from the wall face before plunging into the pool. It works like a sheet waterfall, only thinner and more artistic. Changing the angle and distance of projection creates different visual effects. reated. Waterfalls that appear to be a cascade consist of a number of steps or ledges, making the waterfall appear more natural. The water drops from one floor to another before it reaches the pool. A waterfall looks stunning when you add it to a pool with a garden or landscaping theme. It can be paired with natural stone and plants to provide the pool a tropical or resort-style look.
Deck jets are small nozzles set flush with the pool deck that shoot precisely formed circles of water into the pool. Deck jets produce a lovely pattern of water swirls above the pool’s surface. You can program them to work in a certain order to create a synchronized water show. The nozzles aren’t big and clunky, and the water circles they make are clean and architectural. Deck jets are a remarkable feature for modern pool design because they are precise and minimal.
The laminar flow jet is a more advanced version of the deck jet. They form a column of water as smooth as glass, which passes through the air without disturbance of any kind. These sprays can be equipped with color-changing LED lights so that the water column itself is glowing. Beautiful effect, especially at nighttime, with many flowing jets around the pool.
What are spouts and what are scuppers? They are water features on the wall that spray water into the pool. They may be simple and architectural or they may be artistic. The options are stone spouts with lion heads, copper bowls, or plain stainless steel holes. Bubblers are shallow water features that gently raise water from the pool floor, typically located near the short entry step. People in family pools with beach approach areas love these because they make the pool more fun for the kids. Integrated spa facilities—Many Dubai pools have a spa or jacuzzi that is elevated above the main pool and spills into it. When it overflows, it creates a water feature that links the two pools of water.
TECHNICAL CONSIDERATIONS FOR WATER FEATURES
Any added water feature complicates a pool’s hydraulic system. Each feature needs its pump and pipes to work correctly, or it needs to be carefully connected to the pool’s main drainage system. If the flow rates are incorrect, the feature will appear weak and dribble. If they’re on, the feature will appear skittish and forceful. You’ll need a filter system large enough to cope with the extra water volume and the blowing dirt that features such as waterfalls create. There also has to be management of the water chemistry to take into account the higher rates of loss and aeration caused by water features.
Green Creation’s engineers ensure that each system for the water feature is compatible with the pool’s overall hydraulic design. This allows the features to do what they are supposed to do without interfering with the pool’s filtration or water quality.
LIGHTING INTEGRATION
Water features look their best when complimented by excellent lighting. At Green Creation, lighting design is integrated into every water feature system. The feature has LED lights inside it, spotlighting the surface of the water and backlighting the walls of the feature to create shadows and shapes. So the setting of the pool changes dramatically from day to night.
Water features turn a pool from a place to swim into a place to be. Green Creation are such exceptional designers and builders of water features that every water feature they install works beautifully and reliably. Visit www.green-creation.com to discover what you can do with your pool.
