Abstract A spraying means for spraying water in a fountain effect into a swimming pool is disclosed. Water is pumped through a tubing means positioned inside the coping that surrounds the swimming pool and sprayed out through openings in the coping. These openings may be located completely around the periphery of the swimming pool or at separated locations such as the corners. The openings are flush with the outside surface of the coping so that there are no projections extending beyond the coping. The water is pumped into the spraying means by the pump for the filtering system of the pool. A valve may be provided which is connected to the pump so that some or all of the water which is pumped through the filtering means can be returned to the pool through the spraying system instead of through the normal filtering route. The spraying system aerates and filters the water and also tends to heat or cool the water, depending upon the temperature of the water and the temperature of the sourrounding air.
In combination a swimming pool, coping and fountain comprising an integral hollow coping for a swimming pool having a top wall an end wall, and a rounded forward wall integral with said top wall and provided with a member for holding a liner for a swimming pool and having at least one small opening positioned proximate said top wall and directed upwardly, the edge of the opening being flush with the outer surface of the forward wall a fountain including a tube horizontally positioned in said coping proximate to the forward wall and having at least one small opening therein aligned with the opening in the forward wall and piping means for connecting said tube to a source of water.
