My wife and I are very happy we went with Ultimate pools by Fetter for our pool. We talked to a couple of other companies and were impressed by Fetter because they didn’t try to talk us into anything we didn’t want. They were patient with us during our design phase as we started out wanting a spa and water feature and then changing our minds to just getting a pool. At no time did they try to talk us into into getting a particular pebble finish or plaster finish for the interior. Ross was straight forward about what he thought would work best for us and told us the pros and cons for every decision we made. He was great at explaining the process and what to expect each step of the way. Once the pool was complete, they have been great at answering all of our questions about pool chemistry too! We would definitely recommend using them to put in your pool! We went with a French Gray plaster and love the way the water color turned out.

We absolutely love our pool done by Ultimate Pools by Fetter! Ross is by far the most knowledgeable pool contractor out there and we had quotes from 6 different contractors. Ross went above and beyond researching laws to allow us to change our backyard, that other contractors wanted myself to do. He is definitely a step a head of the game at all times. I highly recommend this company to any one thinking about building a pool. Ross was with us a 100% of the way and a phone call away at all times if needed. We will have a lifetime of memories in our backyard due to what Ross created for us.

Frequently Asked Questions
What water features work best for Oakdale pools? +
Sheer descents are the most popular choice for Oakdale pools — particularly on compact lots in newer neighborhoods — because they deliver strong visual and sound impact without requiring additional space. Natural rock waterfalls suit larger east Oakdale lots. Deck jets and bubblers work well in family pools with shallow areas. Fetter matches the feature to the pool design and yard dimensions.
Does Oakdale's hard water affect pool water features? +
Yes. Oakdale’s Central Valley water supply can be hard, which causes mineral scaling on water feature surfaces — particularly natural stone and tile. Proper water chemistry management significantly reduces this. Fetter selects feature materials with Central Valley water conditions in mind and discusses maintenance expectations before the design is finalized.
Can water features help cool the backyard in Oakdale's summer heat? +
Moving water creates evaporative cooling that can lower the perceived temperature in the immediate backyard environment. In Oakdale’s 100-plus-degree summers, this is a genuine comfort benefit in addition to the visual and auditory experience. Waterfalls and sheer descents with higher flow rates produce the most noticeable cooling effect.
Can water features be added to an existing pool in Oakdale? +
Some features can be retrofitted — deck jets and raised wall sheer descents are more adaptable than structural additions like grottos. Whether a retrofit is practical depends on the existing pool’s construction, available deck space, and existing plumbing capacity. Fetter assesses retrofits case by case.
Are water features controllable from a smartphone? +
Yes. All Fetter water features are plumbed on independent circuits through the pool’s automation system, which typically includes smartphone app control. You can run pool filtration without the features, activate features independently, or schedule them on a timer.
