Your Trusted Project Partner
Our pool fountain installation services add jets and spouts that shoot, arc, bubble or pour water into your pool. Unlike a waterfall built from stone, most fountain effects come from small fittings in the deck, a shallow ledge or a raised wall, fed by their own plumbing lines. Kids love running through arcs of water, and a row of jets turns a plain pool into something you notice from the patio. The work is mostly plumbing: right-sized lines, balanced valves and controls so each jet hits its mark. For an overview of every feature type, start with our pool water features page.
Here are photos of pools and outdoor spaces from our own projects. Picture where jets or a scupper could go in a pool like yours, then bring those ideas to your consultation.
Jets are simple fittings, but the details decide whether they delight you or annoy you. These are the issues we design for from day one.
// Areas We Serve
We work with homeowners across northeastern Massachusetts and southern New Hampshire. Pick your town to see local details, or ask us if yours is not listed.
We mark jet positions on the plan and check how far each arc will reach, so water lands in the pool and clear of steps and ledges. Lines run from the equipment pad to each fitting, usually through a manifold with individual valves. In a new build, pipes go in before the deck is poured or laid; on an existing pool, we cut a path through the deck or time the work with a deck replacement. Before anything is covered up, every line is pressure tested. At startup we adjust each nozzle, balance the flow and set up your controls.
Our Approach
Jets live or die on the plumbing behind them. We build complete pools, so we size the lines, pump and valves for the effect you want and keep fountain flow from cutting into filtration.
Small nozzles set flush in the deck that shoot arcs of water into the pool. They sit flush when off, so there is nothing to trip over.
These produce a smooth, glass-like rod of water instead of a spray. Many can be lit from inside for a glowing arc at night.
Set in a tanning ledge or shallow step, bubblers push a gentle column of water up through the surface.
Spouts mounted in a raised wall that pour a stream into the pool, made in metal, stone or cast finishes.
Each jet line gets its own valve so the arcs can be balanced and adjusted after the pool is running.
Turn fountains on from a switch, timer or phone app, alone or alongside lights and other features.
What is included in pool fountain installation?
Fittings or nozzles, plumbing lines from the equipment pad, valves to balance flow, a connection to an existing pump or a dedicated one, and controls. We also aim and test each effect at startup. If your pool needs other work, such as new decking, we can coordinate it at the same time.
What is the difference between deck jets and laminar jets?
Deck jets throw a spray-like arc that sparkles and splashes. Laminar jets push water through a chamber that smooths the flow, so the arc looks like a clear, solid rod. Laminar jets usually cost more and need clean, well-filtered water to look their best.
Can I add deck jets to my existing pool?
Usually, yes. Each jet needs a line from the equipment pad, so we cut a narrow path through the deck or time the job with a deck replacement. Paver decks are easier, since pavers can be lifted and relaid. See our pool deck page if a new deck is on your list.
Are bubblers safe for young children?
Bubblers sit in shallow water on a ledge or step and push water gently upward, so they are a popular choice for families. As with any pool, adults should supervise children at all times, and the usual pool barrier rules still apply.
Do fountains waste water?
The water recirculates from the pool, so it is not lost down a drain. You will lose a little more to evaporation and wind spray while jets run, which is why we aim arcs carefully and suggest running them when you are using the pool.
Do pool fountains need to be winterized?
Yes. Each fountain line holds water that can freeze and crack pipes or fittings, so lines are blown out and plugged when the pool is closed. Our pool opening and closing work covers them, and regular maintenance keeps nozzles clear in summer.
