Pool Party

The alluring pool has deck-mounted jets that arc water across the width of the pool. The pool also includes a safety system with a remote alarm that sounds indoors if a child or animal accidentally falls into the water, with new sensing technology that provides less of a chance of false alarms due to wind, rain or small objects. Bougainvillea and Golden Shrub Daisy planted around the pool add color and help create privacy.
