Pools: Style Without Sacrificing Safety

Hi, my name is Katrina, and I have always had a pool. My parents had one when I was growing up, I have lived in apartment complexes with pools, and I currently have a pool in my yard. Through the years, I have paid close attention to how people position their pools, the designs they select and the fences they use. Personally, I am not a fan of super industrial looking or boring fences and pool designs. Instead, I like to see creative and beautiful ideas, and achieving a stylish pool is possible. Worried that it will disrupt your safety? Well, it wont. This blog has all kind of tips on achieving pool style without giving up on safety. Enjoy swimming in style!

3 Amazing Features Of Luxury Swimming Pools

Swimming Pools can be great additions to any home because they offer places for relaxation and enjoyment. They come in all types of shapes, sizes, depths, and colors. But what sets luxury swimming pools apart are their features. These pools offer more than just a place to swim and symbolize prosperity and social status. Read on to learn the three amazing features of these pools.

1. Perimeter Overflow

Luxury swimming pools often have a perimeter overflow. This feature gives the water's surface a smooth flat glass appearance that seems to be superbly contained without walls. When water overflows over the edges, it is recycled back into the pool through a catch basin.

The perimeter overflow area is a great spot for sunbathing, tanning, and spending time. You can have loungers or extra seating installed around if you want to enjoy the view without taking up space on other parts of the pool deck. This feature also offers safety because if someone were to slip and fall into one end, instead of sliding and crashing against the wall, their body would stop at the edge of the overflowing water where there usually is some ledge that prevents them from going over.

2. Fire and Light Features

These are among the hottest features of a luxury swimming pool. These pools often have areas with dazzling fire pits that offer a spectacular ambiance. These features can allow people to feel more connected to the water and nature. The captivating flames and their hypnotic swaying motion coupled with the natural sounds of water, leaves, and wind also provide a perfect escape from reality.

These pools also have high heat that comes from a bonfire or natural gas canister. This heat causes pool water to evaporate quickly and create dense steam, which leaves swimmers feeling refreshed. The additional lighting also casts an ethereal glow around the space and highlights each jet in turn.

3. Automatic Covers

When debris falls into your swimming pool, it can lead to water imbalances, liner tears, and algae blooms. Luxury pools have covers designed to keep the water clean and clear while protecting it from outside contaminants, like leaves or twigs. The fact that the cover is automatic means you only need to flip a switch to either open or close it, saving you time. These covers can also reduce your energy costs and the need to run the pool pump, filter, and heater constantly.

Luxury pools with automatic covers can be a great option if you have children and are worried about them falling in while unsupervised or if you want to protect your pool from critters and birds. These covers also help maintain a healthy balance between chlorine and pH levels because they keep dirt out.  

A luxury swimming pool can enhance your property's value and make a beautiful addition to any backyard area. If you invest in it, you'll experience these features.
