Three Ways To Use Scuppers In Your Pool

Partnering with a swimming pool company that can design and build your pool will give you a chance to discuss all sorts of features that you want the pool to have. A pool company representative can go over all of the features that interest you and share their insight about how to best incorporate the features into the pool design. Scuppers are a feature that many people want in their pool. A scupper is an element that allows water to flow from one area to another and is available in a variety of styles. You may want to use scuppers in one or more of the following ways.

Raised Wall

If you want your pool company to construct a wall along one side of your pool, you'll need to think about the look and functionality that you want this wall to offer. There are all sorts of options to consider, but many people choose to have a series of scuppers in the wall. Each of them will allow water to flow from the scupper into the pool. A pump system in the wall will draw up water from the pool, ensuring that the scuppers run at all times. They not only add style but can also create a fun place to stand beneath.

Spa

A lot of people like having their pool company build a spa that is connected to the pool and positioned slightly above it. Soaking in hot water after a swim can be a fun way to spend your time. You'll need to think about how you want the space between the spa and your pool to look. It's a popular choice to build this area to include several scuppers. Your pool company can build the pool so that when water spills over the edge of the spa, it flows into the scupper system and eventually pours into your pool.

Island

If you want a luxury pool in your yard, one feature that you might consider is an island. Situated in the center of the pool and accessible by a bridge, this can be a fun place to hang out. You and your pool company can discuss how elevated the island will be. If it's going to be built on the higher side, you might like the idea of having a number of scuppers positioned around its perimeter. Regardless of the shape of the island, the scuppers can be a good addition to add style.
