When we pull into your driveway we hope to see your kids waiting with their bathing suits on because that's when we know it's going to be a fun job! Our team will be driving two vehicles: a work truck towing a skid steer (or bobcat), and a large dump truck towing our excavator. We use the excavator to dig the hole and lift and set the pool. The skid steer is used to move dirt and gravel. The first thing the crew will do is paint the pool on the ground and use a laser level to establish how hi... How do we know how deep to dig? Our crew members use what's known as a dig sheet provided by the pool manufacturer to know how deep to excavate the hole at certain points. We mark these points with paint on the ground; these are called hash marks. As we dig, we check the depth of the hole at each hash mark until the desired depth is achieved. Our excavated hole is about a foot larger than the ouside of the pool and about 2 inches deeper than the pool depth. In the next phase we'll place 2" of gravel in the hole which will b... When does the pool typically arrive? The pool will usually show up around lunch time of the first day, although it varies from job to job. Once the pool arrives, our team will unload it with the excavator, set it on the ground, and begin installing the fittings and plumbing around the pool.

This gravel base determines the height of the pool so we use a laser level to set the gravel at precisely the right elevation. We are usually at this point at the end of day one or the beginning of day two of construction. It's import... See full list on riverpoolsandspas.com What is the filter system? The filter system is composed of two major components: the pool pump and the filter. The pump circulates the water and the filter removes debris and small particles from the water. At the filter system you also typically find other elements such as valves that control the flow of water, salt water chlorinators if you have one, a switch for the pool light, and a heater if desired. Where is the filter system typically located? Usually within 30 to 60 feet from the pool, but it can be much further away if the site dictates. If possible, it's best to locate the pool equipment (i.e. filter system) at the house, preferably somewhere inconspicuous. It's also not uncommon to locate it in the yard, somewhere out of plain view. What is the River Pools Everflo Plumbing System?
