Aiken Swimming Pool Company will sit with you to design you a pool that meets your specifications and fits within the design and landscaping of your home.  The construction of the pool is supervised and performed by a highly trained and experienced staff.  You will have a pool of the highest quality for years of enjoyment.

The following summarizes for you the construction process of a Vinyl Pool:

Layout
The first step is to layout the pool in your backyard as we did on your plans. This shows you where the pool location will be in relation to the rest of the backyard.

Excavation
This is the big day that you have been waiting for.  Pool excavation requires heavy machinery including an excavator and dumptrucks.  The backyard that you have worked hard on becomes torn up in a matter of minutes, although we try our best to keep the mess to a minimum.  The form boards for the pool are set and the pool is excavated.  When the excavation is finished, the excavated hole resembles the same shape of the finished product.

Plumbing
A crew will dig trenches around the excavated pool and install the circulation plumbing pipes between the pool and the filtration system. The plumbing is pressure tested and inspected for leaks prior to backfilling the ditches.

Coping Installation
The coping that surrounds the pool is then installed. This begins to dress up the pool structure, giving your pool an attractive and safe pool.

Electrical
The electrical work of installing power to the pool filtration equipment and to the underwater light is installed at this time.

Concrete Deck Installation
It is at this time that the deck is laid out, formed up, poured, and finished.  Control joints are also done at this time.

Equipment Installation
The Hayward brand pump and filter system is now installed and set into place.

Filtration Equipment Start-Up
When the pool is full, we start the filtration equipment and begin analyzing the water and adding chemicals

Clean Up and Grade Work
At this time, we remove construction debris from the site and rake around the pool area. It is at this time that you begin to get your backyard back

Final List and Inspection
We then have a final list that we go through that includes such things as installing the diving board, ladder, install the automatic cleaner, fill-in expansion joint between the coping and the deck, as well as other things.

Explain System & Chemistry
It is at this time that we explain the complete operation of the pool. We want you to have as much knowledge as possible, as we feel that the more you know the happier that you will be with the swimming pool
