5 water features that add the most value to a pool
From spill bowls to rain curtains, these are the upgrades real-estate agents and pool builders say buyers notice first.
1. A sheer descent on a raised wall — the single highest-impact upgrade per dollar, and the one buyers photograph first.
2. Spill bowls flanking steps or a spa — they add motion and sound at a modest price, and copper or concrete finishes age beautifully.
3. A rock waterfall kit — turns a standard rectangle pool into a backyard resort and doubles as a jump rock for kids.
4. Scuppers and water spouts — a row of three scuppers on a wall reads as custom architecture for a fraction of the cost.
5. A rain curtain — dramatic, modern, and a natural fit over a swim-up bar or pergola edge.
