Start with this conceptAn illustrated starting point
This concept is not a permit, engineering, fabrication, appliance-cutout, code-approval, or construction drawing. Field measurements, selected manufacturer documents and listings, site and utility conditions, required qualified engineering, AHJ/HOA review, approved documents, and the signed scope control the final design. The installed investment range is for planning, not a quote.
About this design
Jets set into the deck or beam that send clean arcs of water across the pool, with programmable sequencing and color where the selected products support it. Placement, trajectory, hydraulics, bonding and electrical work are controlled by the approved pool plans, the qualified trades and the AHJ.
Key features
- · Laminar-style nozzle producing a clean arc
- · Color core lighting where the selected products support it
- · Programmable sequencing through the pool's automation
- · Trajectory adjusted during commissioning
- · Automation integration confirmed against the selected products
Equipment & systems
- · Booster or feature pump selected by the pool hydraulic design
- · Lighting driver or illuminator per the selected product
- · Pool automation selected for the approved design
- · Valves for individual jet control
How this water feature is planned
Jets set into the deck or bond beam send arcs of water across the pool, driven by pool equipment and controlled through the pool's automation.
Clean arcs in the air, and nearly invisible when off. The effect is entirely about trajectory, spacing and lighting.
Light — the arc lands in the pool rather than falling onto stone, so it reads as a soft splash.
Swimmers interact with these directly. Placement, trajectory, deck circulation, bonding and electrical work by qualified trades, and pool-safety requirements are project-specific and controlled by the approved plans and AHJ. Active adult supervision is always required around water.
Nozzles and any lighting need cleaning and eventual service; mineral buildup changes how the arc behaves.
Zones this concept reserves
- AJet line
Where the jets sit along the deck or beam and how they are spaced
- BArc envelope
The visual path of the water across the pool — trajectory set during commissioning
- CLanding zone
Where the arcs meet the water, reviewed against swimmer circulation
- DEquipment and controls
Pool equipment, valves and automation serving the jets
- EService access
How nozzles, lighting and valves are reached after the deck is finished
Finish and material zones
- Deck trim at each jet
- The visible ring or trim where the jet meets the deck material.
- Deck material around the jet line
- The surface that will be wet regularly — consider traction and mineral marks.
- Lighting treatment
- Whether arcs are illuminated, and how those components are serviced.
- Opposite-edge waterline finish
- Where the arcs are seen against the pool's far edge.
Lock these before fabrication and ordering
- How many jets and where they sit relative to seating and swim paths
- Whether arcs are illuminated at night
- Control and sequencing preference, confirmed against the selected products
- How the jet line coordinates with the pool's overall design
- Deck trim appearance at each jet
- Service access approach for nozzles, lighting and valves
Verified before anything is built
- Pool structure, plumbing and jet placement coordinated in the approved pool plans
- Selected jet, lighting and automation documents — capability and compatibility confirmed for the exact products
- Hydraulics, circulation and equipment sizing set by the pool design and qualified trades
- Bonding and electrical work by qualified trades per approved plans
- Field-measured dimensions, finished elevations and grades, and reachable service access — confirmed on site
- AHJ, HOA and manufacturer requirements for this address and this scope — confirmed in writing before construction
Living with it — care and seasonal notes
- Mineral deposits at the nozzle change the arc; periodic cleaning keeps the set consistent.
- Wind days may mean running the jets less, or not at all.
- Any service on the pool circulation system affects the jets; keep both in one maintenance plan.
Planning this feature in Arizona
- Wind pushes an arc off line and carries water onto the deck; orientation and placement are evaluated on site.
- Hard water leaves deposits at the nozzles and on deck surfaces that are wet frequently.
- Water carried outside the pool is water you replace — placement affects evaporation and top-off.
This planning board is a concept-stage tool. It is not permit, engineering, hydraulic, waterproofing, electrical, fuel or gas, manufacturer-installation, animal-habitat, code-approval, safety-inspection, or construction documentation. Field measurements, selected manufacturer documents and listings, qualified trades and required engineering, AHJ and HOA review, approved documents, and the signed scope control the final build. No feature replaces active adult supervision around water.
