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. |
