Plumbing is an important part of a swimming pool. It's essential because it is how the water is cleaned and returned to the pool.

We make sure our returns are equalized, which means the plumbing is designed to ensure water exits the returns at equal pressure. We do that by running a loop around the pool and attaching it to our returns. If we don't plumb a loop, there are other ways to equalize the returns, but there is a higher risk they won't be equalized.

We completed the shotcrete for this awesome family in Parma. Check out that view they have! And it will be complemented perfectly by the swimming pool.

Sandy soil conditions complicated the project, requiring us to overdig around the deep end and build forms. Normally, we apply shotcrete directly over the soil, but we had to build forms that we later removed. In the videos, you see both the soil (in the shallow end) and the forms (in the deep end).

It's always satisfying watching the shotcrete being applied. Shotcrete is when the pool really starts to take shape. It's also fun to watch the process because it's not something most people see every day. I get to see it often, and it is still entertaining.

You'll notice that the shotcrete is applied and then "cut" by the experts forming the shotcrete (using those rake-looking things).

The pool is 20 ft by 44 ft with a sun shelf that has two bubblers and will also have two umbrella sleeves. The pool is 8 ft 6 in deep in preparation for adding a diving board, which will be done later in the project.

We just wrapped up this beauty in Meridian. It is a beautiful concrete pool that is 20 ft by 40 ft; it is 3'6" deep at the shallow end and 8 ft deep in the deep end.

At the entrance is an 8 ft sun shelf with an umbrella sleeve.

The deck is coping with Basalite pavers surrounding the pool; 4 ft wide along one length and one width and 10 ft wide along the other two sides.

The slide is for the grandkids, though their cool grandparents have also gone down it. They also had us add deck jets that add a fun water element.

If you'd like a beautiful swimming pool like this, give us a call.

Fiberglass pool construction requires a lot of attention to detail.

We drill holes in the edge of the fiberglass pool wall before concrete is poured. We do so because the manufacturer recommends it to allow air to escape when concrete is poured and wraps underneath the pool edge.

It is also recommended so that rebar can be passed down through the hole to reinforce the concrete that wraps underneath the edge.

If you want a swimming pool at your home, be sure to hire a professional pool builder. The details and nuances of swimming pool construction require it for the best results.

When things go off track, as literally happened while backfilling around one of our current pool builds, we had to act fast to get the job done. Setbacks happen, even outright problems happen during construction, so you have to be of the mindset to remain calm, rely on your experience and resources, and find creative solutions.

In this case, we didn't have to come up with some crazy solution. We just called our equipment supplier for this job, who came in clutch delivering a different piece of equipment within about two hours of the track falling off. We then got back to work and wrapped up the backfill.

Shoutout to Apex Equipment Rentals. They even came and picked up the equipment because we were rushing to get out of town, and they wanted to do that for us since we didn't have time to get the equipment back to the yard after the delay, not to mention that the track had to be put back on.

Plaster day is exciting for every new pool owner because not only do they get to see the pool finish they selected for their pool, but it is also the day that we start filling the swimming pool.

The plaster for this job has an additive mixed in that is called quartz mixed in. Quartz is a hard stone that is crushed into small pieces for this application, serving two purposes. It hardens the plaster product, making it more durable, and adds to the design aesthetic.

The customer chose white plaster with white quartz, which is a classic swimming pool plaster color. The white plaster with quartz produces the most beautiful, icy-blue water that looks so refreshing and inviting.

Another benefit of white plaster is that the pool owner does not need to worry about mottling, which is a common condition in colored concrete products that is not considered a defect. Some people hate the mottling effect of colored concrete because they think it looks blotchy. Others think it looks beautiful because it is more antique-looking.

We recently started this project. Fiberglass pool projects move fast. It was delivered on Thursday and will have water in the pool this Thursday, and be completely full by Friday.

There was a large audience when we lifted the pool over the house and into the backyard. Neighbors watched the entire crane set up. There were even neighbors who pulled out the camp chairs so they could watch every second. It is quite the spectacle because it's something most people have never seen - a massive pool picked up, lifted probably 100 ft in the air, expertly moved over the house, and then set in place. Most don't see this last step because the pool is set in the backyard.

There will still be work to do before it is complete, but it is moving along nicely. The homeowner is thrilled with the progress and how the pool looks.

Many swimming pools were built with a single main drain, the drain most commonly at the bottom of the pool. The code has changed over the years, so builders are required to convert single-drain pools to dual drains, or implement other suitable solutions to avoid entrapment. The rule governing the installation and upgrading of these drains is called the Virginia Graham Baker Act.

We were recently hired to replace a vinyl liner. The pool was built with a single main drain, so we had to remove the concrete around the drain, convert the main drain to a dual-drain, then replace the concrete before installing the new vinyl liner.

Now the pool has main drain plumbing in compliance with current safety standards. The homeowner is preparing to sell his home and plans to highlight that he has upgraded the pool.

Responsible construction matters. Rather than looking the other way, we converted the drain. Safety matters. Building codes matter.

We used BarCal Electric for the electrical portion of this project. They always do such great work and are fun to work with. Aric is a pro in every sense of the word. BarCal Electric is a real asset to Enhanced Pools.

The electrical for this job consisted of two Pentair MicroBrite lights, an automatic pool cover with a motor and a switch, the pool equipment consisting of a pump and a heater, and also bonding the pool system.

Hiring great subcontractors matters.
