Swimming Pool Building Process

Scott Dolan • May 01, 2019

Building a pool is a systematic process.

  1. First comes the site excavation. We have to check for underground wiring and cables to make sure our excavation does not disturb any existing infrastructure. Once we get the green light we mark the space and bring in the equipment to dig out the hole for the pool.
  2. The water lines must be run out to the pool area and to the pool and be buried underground.
  3. The rebar gets cut and molded to form the shape and support of the pool to give strength to the shell walls and floors when we pour them.
  4. We recommend that pools be made of ShotCrete. Some people use the term Gunnite which is a just a different brand name.
  5. The tile and finishes are applied to the hard surfaces in and around the pool.
  6. The equipment is installed and the pool prepared for the family to swim..

In the spring in Georgia we experience cool nights and warm days. Along with these temperature differences, we will experience evaporation in our swimming pools. Evaporation drops the water level on swimming pools and makes some homeowners believe they have a leak in their pool. The homeowners add water to bring their pool back up to the correct water level then the very next day the water level is down again. Montego Pools gets numerous service calls this time of year for leak detection.

Leaves only fall for 5-6 weeks, and when they are done falling, you don’t have to run your equipment or balance your water chemistry, the water is too cold for algae to grow.
