DESIGN AND BUILD PROCESS
A fence may have to be temporarily removed. Perhaps even a tree or some bushes may have to be removed and new ones replanted later. Generally, we will find a way to get enough equipment into the yard to do whatever we need to do.
LAYOUT – First we need to clear any vegetation from the area where the pool will be built. Then the outline of the pool will be spray painted on the ground.
This would be a good time to envision what the pool will look like in this area. The customer will either approve the layout or make adjustments at this time before excavation begins.
PLUMBING - Schedule 40 PVC with schedule 40 fittings on the plumbing will be used throughout the pool. A vacuum breaker should be installed at the water source if one is not already there. The plumber will place and set the state of the art equipment according to the plan agreed.
ELECTRICAL - Wiring will be run from your electric panel to the pool equipment and from the equipment to lighting in the pool. Electric wiring and all grounding will meet and/or exceed National Electric Code standards. Ground fault interrupter devices will be installed for protection against electric fault.
STEEL - Steel reinforced rebar will be placed throughout the pool structure. There will be rebar on the bottom of the pool as well as on the sides. Size of rebar used will be determined by our civil engineer company.
GUNITE - Concrete will be applied to create the pool shell. The strongest pool shell has a 6” wall and 6”floor with an 8” transition.
Water curing is important and must be done by spraying the pool shell with water up to four times a day for four days during warm and hot temperatures. This is done to prevent premature curing and to minimize shrinkage cracks in the shell.
TILE - One row of 6x6 inch decorative tile will be installed around the pool perimeter and any other areas indicated on the design drawing.
A type of tile made especially for swimming pools will be used.
DECKING AND COPING- The decking that surrounds your pool can be concrete, brick, stone, or many other materials. All coping should cantilever into the pool.
Stone materials will vary in thickness. Concrete decking around the pool should be 4” minimum thickness. Deep joints will be placed according to deck design to control cracking of the concrete.
EQUIPMENT - At this time the equipment will be installed and connected to the plumbing and electrical.
INTERIOR FINISH - Various types of interior finish are available. The two most common are:
Plaster is pneumatically applied in two coats then hand toweled to a non-slip waterproof surface.
When the plaster is complete the crew will begin filling the pool and/or spa. You must have a garden hose available for the fill. Let the water run until the pool is in the center of the six inch tile at the top edge of the pool. Turn the water off. Do not turn the water off during the fill. A bathtub like ring could occur and stain your pool.
Gemstone is a two day process.
The first day the Gemstone will be shot onto the shell of the pool. The second day the pool will be acid washed. Immediately after the acid wash the crew will begin filling the pool and/or spa.
