New Swimming Pool Installation and Construction
To give you an idea of what you can expect to happen
in your back yard during the installation of your new
pool or spa, we have broken down the swimming pool and
spa construction process into several steps. Our
full-color
brochure will provide you with additional information
about buying and building your pool or spa. And
we welcome you to ask your Anthony & Sylvan representative
about any of the steps involved or other questions you
may have.
 #1
The Site Prior to excavation, a representative
will stake out your new pool or spa. The layout
is based on your custom design. Upon your
approval of the design and layout, we will submit
the plans for local building permits and soon be
ready to dig your new swimming pool. |
#2 Excavation Roll in the heavy-duty
equipment, its time to dig a big hole! In
most cases, it will take about one working day to
complete the excavation of your pool and remove
the soil from your yard. If youre interested
in keeping some of the soil for other parts of your
yard, just let us know prior to excavation. |
 #3 Plumbing
- Our plumbers will install state-of-the-art equipment
to efficiently clean and purify your pool water.
Based on your geographical location, this step may
be performed before or after the shell is formed.
|
#4 Steel Placement Steel-reinforcing
rods are placed inside the excavation, along the
bottom, up the sides, into the bond beam, and around
the skimmers. Firmly wired together, these
rods add to the strength and long life of your pool
shell. |
 #5 - Inspections
At varying stages of construction, detailed inspections
are performed by your Anthony & Sylvan project
manager.
#6 Pool Shell
A concrete mixture is pneumatically applied under
great pressure to bond tightly around the steel
reinforcing rods. This results in a reinforced
steel and concrete pool of superior strength. |
#7 Curing After we have shot the pool,
you will be asked to spray a fine mist of water
from your garden hose several times a day for about
a week. This process is called curing and
it enhances the strength of your pool shell.
#8 Coping Our skilled craftsman
install the coping - or the "lip" of your
pool - around the pool's perimeter. Some options
are safety-grip brick, stone, or white pre-cast
concrete. Also, in some pools, cantilevered
decks that extend right to the pool's edge are used
instead of coping. |
 #9 Tile -
The tile is installed along what will be the waterline
of the interior of the pool. Tiles are available
in a wide variety of colors and designs. |
#10 Electrical Licensed electricians
hook into your main electric service and connect
your filtration and lighting systems. An inspection
of the final work will be needed.
#11
Gas Lines If your pool has a gas-fueled
heater, gas lines will be installed. |
 #12 Decking
The decking that surrounds your pool can be concrete,
brick, stone, grass, or many other materials (Click
here to see some optional decking materials).
This is the final stage before the pool shell finish
is applied and its ready to be filled. |
#13 Fencing Most communities require
that you provide a fence and latched gate around
your new pool. Your consultant will help to familiarize
you with the local requirements. Before we
can proceed, your fencing may have to be completed
and inspected by local authorities.
#14
Waterproof Finish Our crews will now cover
the surface of the pool with a durable waterproof
finish that seals it and provides a beautiful finishing
touch. |
 #15 Pool Start-up Water from your
garden hose or other source will be used to fill
your pool. Once filled, we will come to your
home to start up the equipment and show you exactly
how the equipment works and what chemicals are needed.
This is the time to ask questions on maintaining
your pool. |
