Gravel

The contractors will install gravel which serves as the swimming pool's base and foundation. Getting the correct elevation is important to avoid soft spots.

Skimmer

The skimmer acts as the swimming pool's filtration system. The skimmer ensures that the pool functions properly.

Connection

The wires need to connect with the heating system. The last step before adding water to the swimming pool is making sure that the stone and gravel are level. The stone could shift everything if the swimming pool isn't aligned properly. The water will be installed soon after, as the contractors make sure to add the appropriate water level.

Electrical

The electrical contractor will install the system that helps stimulate the swimming pool. Once the electrical system is hooked up, the contractors will install a barrier and pool cleaner.

Concrete

The inspector will check to make sure that everything is structured properly before concrete is installed. The concrete provides support and reduces future cracking. This breakdown should inform you about what to look for during installation. Have fun with your new pool.
