Thinking about an inground pool?
Are you not sure what you want? or what to expect?
From start to finish, here is what to expect from Pools Plus:

DESIGN THROUGH LAYOUT
We'll meet with you at your home, help evaluate your needs and desires, and find a pool that fits your lifestyle and budget (as well as your yard). You will then be provided with a detailed drawing (to scale) of your pool in your yard, along with a proposal and contract price. After your approval of changes, additions and/or improvements to the drawing, we will layout the pool in an easy to see and understand way for your final approval.

START DATE & PERMITS
By this time we will have talked about a start date, so we'll finalize the actual day (normally that's within a couple of weeks), hope that the weather is good, apply for building and electrical permits, and have all utilities located by BUD (Before You Dig).

Project 1 - Before

DIG & POOL CONSTRUCTION
WARNING! The day we dig the pool, it will look like a bomb went off in your backyard and you may wonder, "What have we done?!" Have faith. Within the first (work) week we'll have the pool shell, steps, light niche(s), skimmer(s), returns, drains, plumbing (water pressure tested) and electrical grounding complete and backfilled, ready to start forming for the concrete decking around the pool.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
We'll come in at this point and run the necessary wiring to connect the pool pump, pool light and utility outlet as well as any other outlets or fixtures we've agreed on. Of course all work will be completed as per national, state and local codes.

Project 1 - After

CIRCULATION & FILTRATION EQUIPMENT
Next, we'll install the pool pump(s), filter, valves, automatic sanitizing system, (the heart and lungs of the system), and any other necessary equipment on the concrete equipment pad.

CONCRETE DECKING
The concrete deck will be formed as per our discussions and drawings. Broom finish or exposed aggregate are standard and your choice at the same cost. There are also many other choices for pool decking available: pavers, brick, stone, stamped concrete, deck coating, even wood or PVC decking. Feel free to ask for information and quotes on different surfaces. If changes need to be made - no problem, sometimes what looks good on paper just doesn't work in reality. We'll move the forms and adjust the cost or explain why we can't make changes.

Project 2 - Before

LINER INSTALLATION
This is when the pool comes to life. We place and finish the pool bottom with a sand/cement mix then clean and install the liner with the pattern of your choice. (There are more than 30 patterns to choose from.) We normally fill with a garden hose, which is normally a two-day process, but can have water hauled in if necessary or desired. Once the pool is full and all openings are cut in, we're ready to start up the pump and filter.

GRADE & FINISH
After the deck is poured and usually before the fence is installed, we fill in ruts, shape and finish grade the area that's been disturbed, then seed and straw that part of the yard.

Project 2 - After

POOL SCHOOL: TRAINING & OPERATION
Once the pool is up and operating, we provide initial instruction (written and oral, approximately 2 hours worth) on operation of the pump, filter, 4-way valve, multi-port, and any other equipment located on the filter pad, such as heaters or other valves. Then we go over all the maintenance equipment, manual vacuum, poles, net, brushes, all the necessary stuff, plus any other equipment such as automatic cleaners, in floor cleaners, etc. After operational instruction, we cover basic water chemistry, which includes testing water and adding water care products. This is often a lot of information to absorb, so if we need to come back in a couple of weeks (after you've had time for some practical experience) we're happy to schedule a time to do so. We also offer several "Pool Schools" a year at each of our stores and we test water at our store labs free of charge. We want you to know and understand everything about your pool and to know "we're always only a phone call away."

COMPLETION
You will be provided with all warranty information, manuals, equipment schematics, safety information and "No Diving" decals. Also, be sure and ask about our referral program.

OTHER BACKYARD PRODUCTS & SERVICES
We offer a wide variety of pool accessory products (games, floats, etc.), spas, casual furniture, grills, outdoor kitchens, yard art and gifts (candles, wind chimes, clocks, thermometers, hammocks, etc.). You'll just have to visit us to see it all. We also provide warranty service, general service and maintenance (weekly, special occasion, and vacation service, opening and closing service), liner and equipment replacement, leak detection, question answering and problem solving.
