We are set for gunite as the next step in our build, possibly this week, and this is my last chance to make a change. Our spa is raised up 18" from the pool deck, and is planned to have a 2' wide spillover into the pool. Spa is 7' inside, 9' outside, and everything is square -- see my profile pic for drawing.
My concern is about the sound/noise coming from the waterfall. We have a fairly quiet back yard, and I don't want to a constant unpleasant sound. The spa will be near our house and patio, where we plan to hang out most of the time. For this reason, we have planned no other water features, and keeping it simple. I've heard some water fountains that are nice for a short while, but would get annoying to hear all night long.
I'm considering switching from the regular spillover to the style where water flows down the edge of the wall -- like on an infinity edge pool (not sure what its called). Does anyone have this style and can comment on the sounds? I tried to listen to some youtube examples, but not much luck finding one yet.
Thanks!
