A swimming pool is a fantastic place to get some much-needed exercise and cool off during the sweltering Ohio summer. If you’re planning on installing one soon, it’s crucial to be aware of what will occur during the process. This will ensure you’re well prepared for it, says the team at Aquarian Pools & Spas in Loveland, OH. They explain what happens during an installation.

Site Preparation

After the swimming pool is designed, a qualified contractor will dig the hole where it will be located. This will require the use of heavy-duty equipment such as a backhoe, and they’ll need to check the location of your underground utilities to ensure they don’t hit any pipes during the excavation. Once the hole is created, the substructure will be installed and the bottom of the pool will be smoothed out. If there are any nearby walkways or if you’re planning on building a deck around the pool, these will be included in the frame shape.

Finishing Touches

Once the site is prepared, the area will start to look more like a pool. Interior tiles or other details will be installed at this time, and the contractor will add the appropriate pool liner and or shell, depending on whether the feature is vinyl or fiberglass, respectively. They’ll also install the equipment necessary to keep it running smoothly, such as a pump and filter, and fill the pool with water. Then, the exterior touches such as a deck will be completed.
