Vinyl-Liner In ground Pools
A vinyl-liner pool is furnished to the installer in kit form. After excavation, the panel walls are bolted or fastened together and supported at the bottom by a concrete footing. The vinyl liner is spread over the interior of the pool and covers the excavated floor and paneled walls. It is connected to the top of the panel walls by a vinyl rib at the outside edge of the liner. Be sure to ask your liners generally have to be replaced in your area of the country. Construction time for vinyl-liner pools is typically one to three weeks.
Points to Ponder
-
Weather: Vinyl-liner pools are popular in cold-weather areas of the country. These pools can be easily winterized by draining them down and covering them until the spring.
Smooth Surface: The vinyl liner is smooth and nonporous, making stain removal easy if stains are treated promptly.
Other Things To Think About
Important laws regarding safety must be considered before choosing your new pool. Specific regulations vary with each community, so be sure you are clear about the letter of the law before installation begins.
There are myriad other options and accessories available to complete your backyard retreat. Once you've decided on the pool type and style best suited to your needs, be sure to ask about the following:
Covers: A pool cover can be a wonderful addition to your pool and/or spa area, and one of their main benefits can be increased safety. Covers come in many varieties and can extend the swimming season of your pool by several weeks by retaining the solar heat that is generated each day. Also, if you live in a highly wooded area, they can be used to keep leaves and other debris out of your pool. Many covers come in automatic or manual versions.
Heaters: Pool heaters come in many shapes and sizes. In milder climes, you can enjoy year-round swimming by adding a heater to your pool set-up.
Filters: There also are many types of pool filters designed to meet the particular needs of your pool. Your dealer or builder can help you choose the one right for you.
Cleaners and Water Levelers: From automatic inground cleaning systems that you just "set and forget" to jazzy, high-tech pool vacs that literally climb your pool walls, there are a variety of systems available to help you keep your pool sparkling clean. If you're the type who likes to splash and dash, you'll certainly be interested in learning more about automatic water levelers that keep the water level in your pool at just the right setting.

Gunite
Inground Pools
Gunite pools are the most popular design in much
of the United States.
To build one of these pools, the construction crew digs a hole, puts the plumbing
in place and assembles a framework grid with 3/8-inch steel reinforcing rods
(rebar). The rebar rods are spaced about 10 inches apart, and secured together
with wire. When the grid is in place, the crew sprays a heavy coating of gunite,
a mixture of cement and sand, around the rebar. The sprayer unit combines dry
gunite mix with water just before spraying — this produces the wet concrete
material. The crew trowels the gunite smooth and lets it sit for a week or so
before applying a smooth finish to the rough surface. The most popular finish
is called plaster(actually a mixture of cement and marble sand), but a lot of
people finish their pools with special concrete paint. Gunite pools can also
have tile, exposed aggregate or even fiberglass finishes. Gunite pools (and
their cousins, shotcrete pools) are highly durable, and they can be built in
any shape or size.
The Construction
Process
1
Layout:
A representative from Designer Properties Pool Builders will meet with you to
discuss the planning of your pool. Size, shape and location will be determined
by you, along with helpful suggestions from our trained personnel. Once we determine
the basics, we physically lay out the design with wooden forms, setting the
exact location and shape, along with pool grade elevation.
2
Excavation:
A backhoe is used to carefully dig the hole to your design specifications. Normally,
barring any inclement weather, this procedure can be accomplished in one day,
depending on the size of your structure.
3
Rebar (Steel):
Next, the steel reinforcement grid is installed. For the deep end, the rods
are placed closer together for extra support. Skimmer units, main drains and
wall fittings are then installed, prior to the Gunite application.
4
Gunite Shell:
Pre-mixed, dry concrete
material (Gunite) mixed with water is not applied through a Gunite hose. Minimal
water, along with extreme force, results in an extremely strong compacted concrete
structure. Skilled workers then shape the Gunite to form the pool shell to specification.
Because of the compression, 8 inches of Gunite is equal to 36 inches of poured
concrete
5
Coping:
Coping is then installed to cap off and finish the pool beam. Coping is available
in a wide variety of styles and colors.
6
Plumbing:
Installation of the PVC piping is next. Water from the pool is drawn back to
the pump through in-wall surface skimmers, also from the main drain assemblies,
located on the floor of the deep end. Water drawn by the pump is then passed
through the filter, heater and automatic sanitizer. Cleaned, heated and sanitized
water then returns to the pool through the pool wall return fittings.
7
Ceramic Tile:
Ceramic tiles are added to the waterline to create an aesthetically pleasing
finish. We use only the best tile available.
8
Decking:
Walkways vary in style and size, according to your specific needs. Accessories
such as diving boards and handrails are then added.
9
Plaster:
An interior finish of white crushed
marble and white cement is mixed together and is hand troweled on the Gunite
surface. Color can be added to the mix to enhance the appearance.
10
Startup:
Once the pool is filled, a Designer Properties Pool Builders service technician
will install the accessory items not installed previously. he will chemically
balance the water and instruct you how to operate and maintain your new pool.
