What pool features and add-ons does A&E Pools install in Fort Myers?

A&E Pools designs and installs a full range of custom pool features and add-ons throughout Fort Myers and Southwest Florida. Our offerings include Water Features such as waterfalls, sheer descents, and bubblers; Fire Features including fire bowls and fire-and-water combinations; Spillover Spas elevated above the pool and flowing into it; Tanning Ledges for shallow sun lounging; and Swim-Up Bars for in-pool entertaining. Each feature is custom-designed and built to complement your specific pool and backyard layout.

Can pool features be added to an existing pool, or only during new construction?

Many pool features can be added to existing pools, though the feasibility and cost vary depending on your pool's current construction, plumbing layout, and the specific feature you want. Tanning Ledges and major structural changes like Spillover Spas are typically easier to incorporate during new construction, while Water Features, Fire Features, and some Swim-Up Bar configurations can often be retrofitted. Our team will assess your existing pool during a free consultation and give you an honest recommendation on what's possible.

What pool equipment does A&E Pools use for features and automation?

We exclusively install Pentair equipment across all of our pool builds and feature installations. Pentair is the industry standard for pool pumps, lighting, automation systems, and water feature controls. With Pentair's smart pool automation, you can control your Water Features, Fire Features, spa jets, pool lighting, and temperature from a smartphone app — making it easy to set the perfect ambiance before you even step outside.

What pool finishes are available for custom pool builds with features?

A&E Pools uses premium, long-lasting pool finishes on every build, including Florida Stucco, Stonescapes, and NPP (Natural Pebble Products). These finishes are selected for their durability, aesthetics, and performance in Florida's year-round outdoor environment. You can view all available finish options in person at our Fort Myers showroom, where our team can help you choose the right finish to complement your selected features and overall backyard design.

How much do pool features and add-ons cost in Fort Myers?

The cost of pool features varies widely depending on the type of feature, complexity of installation, materials selected, and whether it's being built as part of a new pool or added to an existing one. Water Features like bubblers and sheer descents are generally more affordable entry points, while Spillover Spas and Swim-Up Bars involve more structural work and carry higher price tags. The best way to get accurate pricing is through a free consultation where our team can assess your specific project. Financing options are also available through Lyon Financial, HFS Financial, and Viking Lending.
