Smart Pool Technology & Automation: Modern pools are getting way smarter. Homeowners are choosing automation systems that allow complete control—lighting, temperature, filtration, and cleaning—straight from a smartphone. Some systems even monitor water quality and adjust chemicals automatically.

Eco-Friendly & Sustainable Features: Sustainability continues to lead the pack. Energy-efficient pumps, solar heating, LED lighting, saltwater systems, and even natural plant-based filtration pools are becoming mainstream upgrades.

Organic Shapes & Resort-Style Enhancements: Pools are becoming retreats with organic shapes, lagoon-style layouts, waterfall features, infinity edges, tanning ledges, Baja shelves, and built-in relaxing zones. This year, multifunctional designs—like swim-up bars and integrated spas—are especially sought after.

Wellness-Focused Additions: Wellness is a growing design priority. Homeowners are incorporating hydrotherapy jets, saunas and cold plunge areas to elevate their pool into a wellness hub for health and relaxation.
