Shotcrete is concrete that is shot through a high pressure hose to create the shell of your new pool. This is the first of two city inspections and depending on the city and time of year can take a few days. Upon completion of the electrical stage we are required to have a city inspection before we can proceed. Step 7 – City Electrical Inspection (AVG 2-5 days)
This is a free service from SRP and they will most likely install a larger meter to accommodate your use. Only the homeowner can call to schedule this appointment and will need to be home for the appointment to allow access to the home. Upon Final City Inspection the homeowner will need to contact SRP and have them connect the gas line to the main meter.
If utilizing a gas heater or BBQ, gas lines will be run from the main gas meter in the front of the house to the designated equipment. Our master electricians will trench and install electrical conduit/wire from the house main electrical box to the equipment and all other locations specified on the plan.
The shell of your new pool is warrantied for life from any crack s or defects to the original home owner.
It consist of a series of bars placed horizontally and vertically specifically engineered for you pool design requirements. Structural Steel is the steel reinforcement structure for the shell of your pool to give it added strength per the engineering plans. An experienced plumber will plumb in all of the filtration equipment for the pool, including water feature pumps and other optional equipment. We perform hydraulic calculations to ensure that all equipment and piping are of the correct size to combine water clarity and energy conservation. The plumbing for each pool is designed specifically to give it the best circulation and filtration for crystal clear water and ease of maintenance. Step 4 – Plumbing & Equipment Set (AVG 1-2 days)
We do everything we can to avoid any excavation surcharges. We will dig a test hole at the beginning of the excavation and will be able to determine at that point if you have a Hard Dig and give you the surcharge amount. The amount depends on the size of your pool, depth of the harden soil and type of hardness. This ripper attachment can break up hard soil but is very timely therefor excavation surcharges will occur. The term “Hard Dig” is used when the soil conditions require the crew to remove the bucket from the excavator and replace with a ripper attachment. You most likely will need to repair irrigation, replace plants and purchase additional decorative rock from the front of the home to the dig site. We can not be responsible for any decorative rock, landscaping or irrigation from the front of your home to the dig site. We will push any decorative rock to the side to gain access to the dig area but unless stated in the agreement you will be responsible for re-spreading the rock. The excavation crew will come in with some heavy equipment within a couple days and dig the pool to the engineering plans. This layout will indicate the shape, size and location of your pool in your yard for the excavation crew. Step 2 – Layout (AVG 1 days)Ī representative from PV Pools will come to your home and lay the pool out that you approved with your Sales Consultant. Be aware that some HOAs only meet once or twice a month to approve submissions so that could delay the start of your pool. We can provide you detailed plans to submit to the HOA for approval. The homeowner is required to get the HOA approval unless otherwise agreed upon. All plans must comply with state, local and HOA building requirements. We shall acquire the permits for the construction of the pool. Step 1 – Permit, Engineering Plans & HOA (AVG 7-10 days) Through this process please ask your Project Manager or Sales Consultant any questions you may have. Please be patient and understand that it is not the journey but the end result. This process has many moving parts and at times we will be waiting on city inspections, weather or other scheduling before work can continue. Your backyard has now become a construction site and will look like one until the end of the process when your dream becomes a reality. For the next 8-10 weeks, your backyard will be overrun with staff and swimming pool construction equipment.
