1. Our experienced excavators review pool layout with the homeowner before digging to ensure proper pool placement and elevation.
|
|
|
2. Excavation begins utilizing tracked equipment capable of handling all types of soils.
|
|
|
3. The hopper, or deep end of the pool, is dug using a back hoe. Constant laser transit checks assure proper pool depth.
|
|
|
4. The 14-gauge galvanized sidewall is hand-placed and bolted together.
|
|
|
5. Our patented deck braces, A-frame supports, and pool plumbing are constructed. Note the size and number of supports. Again, a laser transit is used to assure proper pool levels.
|
|
|
6. A continuous 2,500 PSI concrete collar is poured around the entire pool's perimeter to protect the underground plumbing and prevent the pool from ever shifting.
|
|
|
7. The pool floor, consisting of 2-3" of Portland cement and vermiculite, is hand-troweled for a smooth, hard, finished bottom.
|
|
|
8. The extra-thick 30mil designer liner, built by Crystal Pools at our liner manufacturing facility, is carefully installed.
|
|
|
9. Prior to water, industrial vacuums draw the liner tight for a wrinkle-free fit.
|
|
|
10. Backfilling and grading around the pool area is performed using highly maneuverable equipment and skilled operators.
|
|
|
11. The area around the pool is roughly graded.
|
|
12. The concrete apron is formed using steel reinforcement rods for added deck strength. A 3/4" slope is maintained for proper water run-off.
|
|
|
13. The three-foot-wide cement walkway is hand-wheeled and troweled on top of the patented deck support system.
|
|
|
14. The completed anti-skid walkway with strategically placed white expansion joins complements the white steps and coping.
|
|
|
15. The entire pool was completely constructed by Crystal Pools' friendly, courteous, and knowledgeable staff.
