To
give you an idea of what you can expect to happen
during the installation of your new pool, we’ve
broken down the process into 16 steps.
The Site
Prior to excavation, we stake out your new pool.
Upon your approval, we’re ready to dig it.
Excavation
Bring in the heavy equipment, it’s time to dig a big
hole! In most cases, the digging will take about one
day to complete and remove the soil.
Plumbing
Our plumbers install state-of-the-art equipment to
efficiently clean and purify your pool water.
Steel Placement
Steel-reinforcing rods are placed inside the
excavation. Firmly wired together, these rods add to
the strength and long life of your pool shell.
Inspections
At varying stages of construction, we perform a
detailed inspection. In addition to these
inspections, local building authorities also require
inspections. We will notify you when an inspection
is needed and who needs to contact the local
authorities.
Pool Shell
A concrete mixture is pneumatically applied under
great pressure to bond tightly around the steel
reinforcing rods.
Curing
After we have “shot” the pool, you will be asked to
spray a fine mist of water from your garden hose
several times a day for about a week. Curing
enhances the strength of your pool shell.
Coping
Our craftsman installs the coping ("lip" of your
pool) around the pool's perimeter. Some options are
safety-grip brick, stone or white pre-cast concrete.
Tile
The tile is installed along the waterline of the
interior of the pool. Tiles are available in a wide
variety of colors and designs.
Electrical
Licensed electricians hook into your main electric
service and connect your filtration and lighting
systems. An inspection of the final work will be
needed.
Gas Lines
If your pool has a gas-fueled heater, gas lines will
be installed.
Decking
The decking that surrounds your pool can be
concrete, brick, stone, grass or many other
materials. This is the final stage before the pool
shell finish is applied and it’s ready to be filled.
Fencing
Most communities require that you provide a fence
and latched gate around your new pool. Before we can
proceed, your fencing may have to be completed and
inspected by local authorities.
Waterproof Finish
Our crews cover the surface of the pool with a
durable waterproof finish that seals it and provides
a beautiful finishing touch.
Pool Start-up
Water from your garden hose is used to fill your
pool. Once filled, we will come to your home to
start up the equipment and show you exactly how it
works and what chemicals are needed. This is the
time to ask questions about maintaining your pool. |
