Diving into the Details: How We Build Your Perfect Pool
-
1After finalizing your pool design and obtaining necessary approvals from your HOA and local municipality, our team will meet you on-site for a final layout. We make it easy to visualize your project by using flags and paint to carefully mark the precise location and shape of your new pool. This is your opportunity to make any final adjustments to the shape and position. Once you’ve reviewed and approved the layout, we’ll schedule your project for excavation. This is where the real fun starts!!
Layout and Design Finalization
-
2Your experienced crew will promptly begin the process by first constructing wooden forms to ensure your pool maintains the exact shape and dimensions as laid out. Then, the excavation begins, transforming your backyard as we dig the hole for your pool. This exciting step is where your dreams start to become a reality, marking the beginning of a transformative journey (and a bit of a messy one, too!). But don’t worry! We keep things as neat and tidy as possible!
Excavation and Forming
-
3Your pool has a unique hydraulic plan that must seamlessly integrate with its structure. During this phase, the team will meticulously install all the essential plumbing components. These will be stub plumbed into the pool, ready to be connected later in the process, ensuring optimal functionality and efficiency for your new aquatic oasis.
Plumbing Infrastructure
-
4With the pool excavated and pre-plumbed, it’s time to prepare for the gunite application. Our skilled craftsmen will custom bend and fit rebar to reinforce and strengthen your pool shell. At this stage, your pool begins to take shape, resembling a structure rather than just a hole in the ground. After this phase, you only have a few more before you jump in!
Reinforcing with Steel
-
5Gunite, a specially formulated concrete, forms the shell of your pool. This is an exciting day as you watch your pool come to life! Gunite is applied through a hose and then hand-shaped to create the desired curves, benches, steps, and vertical walls. This extremely strong material will be the foundation of your pool, and you’ll want to watch this step as your pool takes shape within hours right before your eyes.
Gunite Application
-
6Now, the finishing touches begin. The waterline tile, as well as any feature wall or spa tile, will be installed. With a vast array of options, from glass mosaics to porcelain tiles, you’ll have chosen the perfect design with your designer during a previous selection meeting. Once the tile work is complete, the coping (the top edge of the pool) will be installed around the entire perimeter. Coping materials can include natural stone, travertine, concrete pavers, or other types of stone, either custom manufactured or cut and fitted on-site. Things during this phase are really starting to take shape–you will be swimming in no time!
Tile and Coping Installation
-
7This step involves a bit more digging as we create trenches from the pool to the equipment location. We’ll run all the necessary plumbing and electrical connections using schedule 40 PVC piping. Our team carefully pressure-checks all connections to ensure no issues down the road! You can rest assured and relax stress-free!
Plumbing Connections
-
8With all the digging complete, we can now install the deck surrounding your pool. Decking materials vary widely, but all are cut and fitted on-site. We meticulously prepare the surface, bring in compacting materials, and lay your chosen decking material to create a beautiful and durable surface you’ll enjoy for years to come. As this step often involves changes from the original plan, we always perform a final deck layout in person to ensure everything is just perfect. This makes it easy for you to see what your final deck will look like!
Decking
-
9Congratulations! You’ve reached the last stage of the construction journey! With guidance from your designer, you’ve selected the perfect interior finish from a range of options in types and colors. After the application of the finish, your pool will be filled using a standard garden hose. Rest assured, we’ll give you a heads-up when it’s time to shut off the water.
Interior Finish
-
10With your pool filled, we’ll return within a few days to start up your new pool. This involves powering up the pumps and equipment, testing everything to ensure proper function, and adding the necessary chemicals to begin balancing the water chemistry. The first 30 days are crucial for your water chemistry and equipment, so we’ll keep a close eye on everything to ensure it’s perfectly balanced and calibrated.
Start-Up and Enjoyment
-
11Once we’ve completed the start-up process and cleaned up your backyard, it’s time for you and your family to enjoy your new Aquatica Pool! We include the first 3 months of service at no extra charge. During this time, we’ll take you to pool school to train you on operating your pool and equipment, balancing chemicals, and performing basic maintenance.
