What are Deck Jets?

Deck jets create graceful arcs of water that shoot from the pool deck or nearby area into the pool. These jets add movement and a gentle splash effect, turning a basic pool into an engaging centerpiece. They can be installed in different structures, including concrete pool decks and gunite pool walls.

There are several types of deck jets:

  • Standard Deck Jets: Classic water arcs that land softly in the pool, creating an immersive experience of sound and surface ripples.
  • Adjustable Height Deck Jets: Customizable arc height and angle add to the design.
  • Laminar Jets: Updated version of deck jets, laminar jets create a smooth, glass-like stream of water.

    What are Pool Bubblers?

    Pool bubblers are small fountain-like features that produce a bubbling effect in shallow areas like tanning ledges, sun shelves, or entry steps. They stir the surface water, adding movement and sound while improving the sensory experience. Bubblers can be subtle or dramatic based on flow settings, and many have LED lighting options for extra flair.

    Popular options include:

    • LED-Lit Bubbler Jets: Combine surface bubbles with vibrant lighting for day-to-night enjoyment.

    • Custom-Design Bubblers: Built to suit your pool’s style and depth for a truly tailored water feature.

    Bubblers are especially popular with families, offering a safe and fun water play area for children, while also elevating the pool’s aesthetic.

    Design and Customization Options

    Designing your pool with deck jets and bubblers opens up many possibilities. Proper placement of these features is key for improving water movement, circulation, and the overall flow of your pool, ensuring that it looks good and works well.

    You can customize options to fit your tastes and specific pool designs. There are different materials and finishes to choose from, like stainless steel or colored plastics. This helps your pool jets blend in with your existing decor. You can adjust the jets to change the size of the bubbles and the water patterns, which improves both the look and function.

    If you want to add a bit of style, you can combine deck jets with lighting systems for displays at night. Different nozzle designs let you create various water patterns and direct the water as needed, depending on your design choices and the weather.
