JP POOLS- Pool Construction

At JP Pools, We as expert pool builders specialize in high-quality pool construction, offering expert craftsmanship in shotcrete/gunite application, tile, pebble finishes, pavers, rebar, and plumbing. Below is a comprehensive breakdown of how each component is installed, ensuring a durable and long-lasting pool.

Gunite is a high-strength, spray-applied concrete mixture that forms the structural shell of your pool. It provides unmatched durability and allows for pool construction custom shapes and designs.

Gunite Installation Process:

• Excavation & Framing  – The pool area is carefully excavated, and temporary framing is set up to define the shape.

• Rebar Installation – A steel rebar grid is placed throughout the pool to reinforce the structure 

• Gunite Spraying – A pressurized hose sprays a mix of cement and sand, which is hydrated at the nozzle to create a thick concrete coating.

:Shotcrete Spraying - A pressurized hose sprays a concrete mix with all the aggregate already hydrated and mixed once it is sprayed it is ready to create a thick concrete coating  

• Shaping & Smoothing – Skilled technicians sculpt and smooth the gunite before it hardens.

• Curing Process – The gunite cures over 7 to 14 days, requiring daily watering to insure proper curing and no cracking.

during pool construction a water line tile add both beauty and protection to your pool’s interior. Process includes:

• Surface Preparation – The gunite surface is cleaned and prepped for proper adhesion.

• Applying Thin-Set Mortar – A high-strength bonding mortar is applied.

• Tile Placement – Each tile is carefully aligned for a seamless look.

• Grouting – Waterproof grout is applied to fill gaps and secure tiles.

• Final Sealing & Curing – The grout is cured to enhance durability.

Pebble finishes are a pool builders premium pool interior finish, offering a natural, textured look with enhanced durability.

Pebble Installation Process:

• Mixing the Pebble Finish – A combination of natural pebbles, cement, and bonding agents is prepared.

• Application – The mixture is sprayed and hand-applied over the pool shell surface.

• Smoothing & Exposing Pebbles – Technicians use a water wash technique to expose the pebbles, creating a slip-resistant surface.

• Curing & Sealing – The finish is left to cure, then sealed for added protection.

Pebble finishes come in various colors and aggregate sizes, providing a luxurious, long-lasting surface.

Rebar is the structural backbone of your pool construction ensuring strength and longevity.

Rebar Installation Process:

• Rebar Grid Placement – Steel bars are arranged in a grid pattern, typically spaced 8-12 inches apart.

• Tying & Securing – The rebar is tied together to prevent shifting.

• Inspection & Approval – The structure is inspected before the gunite is applied.

Rebar reinforcement prevents cracks, leaks, and structural failures over time.

A properly installed plumbing system ensures efficient water circulation, filtration, and heating.

Plumbing Installation Steps:

• Trenching & Pipe Placement – Trenches are dug around the pool perimeter, and schedule 40 PVC pipes are laid for durability.

• Main Drain, Skimmer, & Return Line Installation –

• Main drains pull water from the pool for filtration.

• Skimmers remove debris from the water’s surface.

• Return lines circulate clean water back into the pool.

• Pressure Testing – The plumbing is tested for leaks before the gunite application.

• Equipment Hookup – Pipes are connected to the pump, filter, and heater system for optimal performance.
