Smart Control and Show-Stopping Features

Modern pools do two things older ones can't: they run themselves, and they perform. Automation lets you control the pump, heater, lights, spa, and features from your phone, and even schedule them. Water features add the movement, sparkle, and sound that turn a still pool into a centerpiece. Stone Pools installs both, on new builds and as retrofits to existing Austin-area pools.

A good automation setup also saves money: variable-speed pumps, smart scheduling, and LED lighting cut energy use significantly compared to old single-speed equipment. We spec the system to your pool and show you exactly how to run it.

Water Features We Build

The features that make an Austin backyard stand out.

Sheer Descent

A smooth sheet of water falling from a raised wall, elegant by day, lit by night.

Rock Waterfall

Natural boulder waterfalls that blend into Hill Country landscapes.

Bubblers

Gentle bubblers on a tanning ledge, perfect for kids and ambiance.

Laminar Jets

Arcing ropes of water with LED color that put on a show.

Deck Jets

Simple, striking streams that arc from the deck into the pool.

Fire & Water

Combined fire bowls and spillways for a dramatic focal point.

Smart Pools Across the Austin Metro

Automation is one of the easiest, highest-impact upgrades for an existing Austin pool, and it pays for itself in energy savings over time. We retrofit smart control and features throughout the metro, from central Austin to Cedar Park and beyond.

For new builds, we design the automation and features in from the start so everything is plumbed, wired, and balanced correctly, no compromises later.
