How will San Rafael, CA hot tub and swimming pool builders install my pool/hot tub?

As with all building projects, hot tub or swimming pool installation will start with the design. Usually your swimming pool designs may have to be adjusted once you’ve shown them to a specialist because they will need to assess how much space you have, the composition of the ground (if you are installing a below-ground swimming pool), the type of building material they will need to use and how the filtration system will work. Once you have the nitty gritty sorted, then you can play around with your swimming pool design and think about position, shape, depth, extra features and the design of the surrounding area. For hot tubs, you can consider the material you want to use, if you want a deck platform for your hot tub installation, the size and shape and the number of jets.

Hot tub and swimming pool installation or construction can begin after the builders have fully assessed the area and measured everything out. With concrete, below-ground structures, excavation will be first and any groundwater will be drained away, the base levelled and drains installed. Then a steel mesh will be installed ready for the concrete to be poured in and concrete blocks to form the walls. Next, the concrete should be rendered and painted with rubberised, waterproof paint, tiled or lined with a waterproof material. Before making doubly sure that all drainage and filtering systems are working, the pool can then be filled and used. Swimming pool builders will know the ins and outs of the swimming pool installation process, so talk to any local specialist if you have more questions.

While the hard part may be over, there’s still quite a bit to do after your hot tub or swimming pool installation. Swimming pool maintenance is important if you want to keep your pool clean, hygienic and looking its best.
