CONSTRUCTION OF A GUNITE POOL

We at Heritage Pool Company have over 25 years in the gunite pool industry.  Our staff has been involved in almost every construction situation imaginable, from everyday residential settings to the construction of massive commercial water park rides.  We cover the full gambit in construction settings and applications.

In order to provide you, the client, with an accurate description of the building process we have illustrated the process on this page of our site.

Steps In Building A Gunite Pool

1.  Sales Call:

    After receiving an inquiry from a client, a sales call is conducted on the job site between our General Manager and the potential client.  At this sales call, an exchange of ideas about the project takes place.  Through a brainstorming process we try to understand the expectations of the client and also try to relay our assessment of what can and cannot be done in the setting we observe.  The result of this meeting is normally a scheduled second meeting, at which the client is provided a CAD drawing showing the previously discussed project.  At this meeting, contracts are normally signed and the project schedule is discussed and put into motion.

2. Start of Project

    All permits applicable to this project will be acquired by Heritage.  Layout of pool on site and actual digging of pool occurs.

3.  Gunite Phase

     A 3/8" rebar grid on 12" centers will be placed in floor and walls of structure.  6" -  4000 psi concrete floor will be poured.  The walls of the pool will be sprayed with Gunite approx. 8" - 10" thick.

4.  Plumbing and Tile

    All plumbing will be ran to previously specified filtration area.  6" x 6" frost proof decorative tile will be set at water line.

5. Decking

    Prior to pouring of concrete apron, all plumbing will be pressure tested to verify integrity.  Concrete apron will be formed to specified dimensions.  4" - 4000 psi concrete with 3/8" rebar on 12" centers.

6.  Filtration

    All specified filtration hardware will be connected prior to fill.

7.  Marcite

    Entire interior surface of pool will be covered at a varied thickness of not less than 3/8" - 5/8" with Marcite (2:1 ratio of White Cement / Marble dust) and hand  trowelled to a smooth finish.  Owner will fill pool.

8.  Completion

     At the end of the building process a final meeting is scheduled.  At this meeting clients are instructed on care and maintenance of their new pool.  Also, a certificate of completion is awarded to the new owner of the pool.
