Grottos & pool waterfalls

Rock grottos and waterfalls built into the pool: a resort-style focal point with cascades, shaded space and room to swim beneath the falls.

How it works: the science behind a pool grotto

How it works: the science behind a pool grotto1234567
  1. Boulder grotto & swim-in cave
  2. Waterfall ledge
  3. Supply pipe hidden in the rockwork
  4. Pool
  5. Skimmer & suction line
  6. Pump
  7. Filter

The pool pump pulls water through the skimmer and filter, then pushes it up a pipe hidden in the rocks. It spills off the ledge and falls back into the pool.
