DIG PLAN

Using a dig plan aids in preparation for your swimming pool installation helps us to ensure that your swimming pool will sit at the exact desired elevation needed.

ELEVATIONS

We use a transit laser to ensure we grade the bottom to the exact elevations on the specified dig plans.

DIG/GRADE/ROCK BOTTOM OF HOLE

After digging the swimming pool hole, we compact the entire area repeatedly to prevent the shell from settling once we begin adding water. We compact 5-6 inches of #57 stone rock base to help create a foundation to support the weight of the pool.

HIGH WATER TABLE/ WATER CONTROL

We include a 12" shaft for a sump pump with every swimming pool installation. This pump can immediately pump and remove any groundwater from under your pool.

POOL DELIVERED

Fiberglass pools are delivered directly from the San Juan Fiberglass Pool factory in Lakeland, FL. They are hand-built and custom-made, and we install your plumbing and lights custom on every pool.

LEVEL POOL

We compact the bottom of the hole to ensure a uniform, level, and compacted surface. While placing the swimming pool in the hole, we check the elevations with a transit to ensure the pool is level, making adjustments as necessary.

PLUMBING & FITTINGS

Prior to adding the equipment, we must first pass a pressure inspection to ensure that there are no leaks in the plumbing! We only use schedule 40 PVC in a minimum 2" diameter and Jandy valves. Pipe size and fittings are vital to your pool's water circulation.

WATER IN POOL

Water is pumped into the swimming pool using a garden hose. It must be added slowly and at the same time as the backfill to help equalize the pressure inside and outside the pool shell. We often use spreader beams to help keep the walls as straight as possible.

ROCK BASE & BACKFILL

We use 57 stone as a foundation to stabilize the ground and support the pool's weight. We never use existing dirt to backfill your pool.

CONCRETE FOOTER

Each of our pool installations is finished with a perimeter concrete footer. The footer "sandwiches" around the shell's flange and helps stabilize the pool to prevent future settling or shifting. It also provides the correct base for your coping stone.

DECK & CUSTOM FEATURES

The deck and custom features like hardscaping and landscape design are typically the last part of the project. By that point, the pool is already up and circulating! This critical step is vital because your pool coping and your pool deck should be done separately. We will also install foam insulation that allows for seasonal contraction and expansion.
