Sheer Descent
A smooth sheet of water falling from a raised wall, elegant by day, lit by night.
Run your whole pool from your phone, and add the movement, light, and sound that make a backyard come alive, on new or existing pools.
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.
Automation and features are modular, add what fits your pool and budget:
Features are as much about look as sound. Options include:
Cost depends on the system and how many features you add:

The features that make an Austin backyard stand out.
A smooth sheet of water falling from a raised wall, elegant by day, lit by night.
Natural boulder waterfalls that blend into Hill Country landscapes.
Gentle bubblers on a tanning ledge, perfect for kids and ambiance.
Arcing ropes of water with LED color that put on a show.
Simple, striking streams that arc from the deck into the pool.
Combined fire bowls and spillways for a dramatic focal point.
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.
