Swimming pools, by their very nature, bring relaxation and stress relief. When you have a swimming pool in your life and in your backyard you can walk out the door and shut out the worries of the day. The swimming pool contractors from Advanced Pool Care have tips for Memphis, Tennessee pool owners on how to ‘feng shui’ your swimming pool.

The pool itself, is a feng shui piece at your home. Water represents wealth and in the feng shui language that can help bring that good fortune and wealth into your life. When it comes to your pool, simply having one doesn’t automatically mean you’re going to have good feng shui in your realm.

How To ‘Feng Shui’ Your Swimming Pool

Here are a few tips to add more relaxation and good vibes to your pool space.

  1. Add water features to the pool. Fountains and other running water in and around the pool amp up its feng shui
  2. A fish pond will add more feng shui. Be aware that if you add a fish or koi pond it will require upkeep and maintenance in order to keep the water clean and the fish thriving
  3. The size of the pool can add to its (or detract from its) feng shui. Your pool must be properly placed and in proportion to your home. The pool shouldn’t overpower the house nor should it be too small. Don’t have the pool constructed too close to the home or that can impede positive energy.\
  4. If your pool has rounded corners or is of a free form design that is more appealing and in alignment with feng shui principles than a square or harshly shaped pool.
  5. Surround the pool with trees, plants and other elements of nature.

You can work with a feng shui expert to ensure the pool size is correct and that the flow from the pool to the house and the rest of the yard are in alignment.
