VINYL LINER POOLS

Now it is time for Douglas Aquatics crews to execute the vinyl liner pool construction in your backyard. Our Construction Manager will be stopping by regularly to check the project. All of us here at Douglas Aquatics look forward to building your pool. The outline below details the construction process for your new vinyl pool liner construction.

Preparations

Once the site is prepared, the pool is laid out using stakes, boards, and/or lines representing the outer edge of the coping.

Excavation

During this stage, the earth from your pool is either hauled away or kept on site for backfilling, as necessary for the later phases of construction, depending on what your contract stipulates. With normal soil and access conditions, excavation will be completed within one to two working days.

Wall Assembly & Erection

After excavation, we will begin assembling the wall panels and stairs for installation. Our crew will complete the pool wall erection and stair installation and then a concrete collar is poured around the entire base perimeter of the pool wall. This will assure that each panel is properly set and secure.

Plumbing

After the pool has been excavated, we will install the plumbing from your pool to the filter system. The main drain line(s), return line(s) and floor fittings are stubbed in and the skimmer(s) are secured. All the plumbing will be pressure tested to assure that there are no leaks in the system.

Coping

Your pool coping will now be installed and secured to the top of the pool wall.

Vermiculite

The pool bottom must be finished and shaped before the liner can be positioned. A vermiculite base will be applied to the excavated material at the bottom of your pool.

Installation

The vinyl liner can now be installed. Our crew will secure the liner and eliminate as many wrinkles as possible by pulling and positioning the liner.

Electrical

The electrician can begin work immediately after the pool and/or spa steel is completed.

Pool Decking

The area surrounding the pool will be rough graded in preparation for the deck installation.

Fencing

Fencing will be installed that is up to code, including an access gate that is self-closing and has a self-latching device.

Alarms

All doors with direct access to the pool through that wall shall be equipped with a hard-wired or battery powered alarm, which produces an audible warning when the door and its screen are opened.

Start-Up

Once your pool water is balanced, we will schedule an appointment to meet with you and instruct you on the operation of your filter system. You will also be given your warranty information on your pool equipment as well as a set of filter instructions to keep for your records.

Final Inspection

We will need to schedule an appointment with your electrician so they may have the final electrical inspection called into your local building department. Once that is done, we will contact you to schedule an appointment for the final inspection with the local building department. Following this last inspection the signed permit will be yours to keep.
