One kind of cascade comes from a specially designed overflow from an attached spa. However, an independent cascade feature is possible in any pool with a raised section of wall or other structure—there’s no spa required.
The original style of cascades flow in a sleek, smooth sheet. The newer styles have water falling in broken drops to mimic the look of rain. To protect your investment and enhance safety during colder months, consider Inground Pool Winter Safety Covers.
From its high position, the cascade feature delivers a continuous sheet of water—one-foot or wider—that falls into the pool surface below. You can achieve even more drama with cascades up to six feet wide.
A way to achieve a wider cascade span is to use multiple features in a row of two, three, or more. They can be installed directly next to one another—creating a single span that is several feet wide or longer.
