Pool Safety

Smart pool owners always think safety first. They take specific steps to ensure that their family, friends and guests are knowledgeable about the safe and sensible use of their pool. They also always ensure that:
  • their pool is never used unless there is adequate supervision
  • their pool is kept in good repair and is not used when there is a missing or broken drain cover or other component
  • ALL CHILDREN using their pool are supervised constantly
  • anyone under the influence of alcohol, drugs or stimulants that impair their judgment abilities does not use the pool
  • their pool is protected by appropriate barriers to unsupervised entry including fencing with self-latching gates, safety covers, alarms, etc.
At Sterling Pools, we encourage you to talk with all members of your family about pool safety and we promote a “feet first” approach to entering your pool — much safer than diving.

Sterling Pools supplies each new pool owner with a number of very important items of safety literature and we strongly encourage you to read each item carefully and follow its instructions:
  • Pool Owner’s Safety Handbook
  • Association of Pool and Spa Professionals (APSP) “Sensible Way” book
  • Vinyl swimming pool liner warranty information
  • “Children Aren’t Waterproof” book
  • “No Diving” labels
  • Safety plaque and “Notice” card

How a Sterling Pool is Built

At first the process involved in building an inground swimming pool can seem daunting. But, that's why you've got a Fort Wayne Pools Strong Support builder to guide you through the process. Your builder will help you design a pool that fits your family's needs, wants and budget. Then he/she will help you get all the proper permits from your local municipality.

Step One
Your Strong Support builder will layout, measure and mark off the pool shape in your backyard. The real fun begins with the excavation. That huge gash in your backyard may look scary now, but in no time at all it will be a new source of enjoyment and entertainment for your family!

Step Two
Setting the wall panels and braces. The pool really starts to take shape here.

Step Three
Installation of plumbing and electrical equipment. This includes piping, pumps, lines for special lighting, water features, etc. If you aren’t adding a lot of special features now but think you might want to upgrade your pool in the future, let your Strong Support builder know. It’s usually much easier to add extra plumbing and electrical capacity when the pool is first built than it is to go back and add it later.

Step Four
Pouring of the concrete bond beam and pool floor. The bond beam surrounds the outside of the pool walls and the braces and holds everything in place, nice and tight. The pool floor is poured precisely so that the liner will fit like a glove.

Step Five
Backfilling. Dirt is moved back around the pool, covering the braces, bond beam and plumbing and creating the base for your decking.

Step Six
Installation of vinyl liner and coping. The liner snaps into a special track along the coping and then a vacuum sucks out excess air between the pool wall and liner, ensuring a snug fit.

Step Seven
Pouring of the concrete deck. The options here are endless: pavers, stamped concrete, brick. Beneath the surface, Fort Wayne Pools’ bracing system works to support the decking and keep it from shifting or cracking.


The last step is to finish the area with landscaping, patio furniture, lighting, fencing, and other accessories. This is where your dream backyard really comes to life. Enjoy your Sterling Pool!


Disclaimer:The process shown above may vary among Strong Support builders based on the characteristics and complexities of each pool constructed. The above is meant simply as a guideline to outline the basic steps involved in building an inground pool and all builders should rely on the Fort Wayne Pools installation guide for Sterling pools as a proper reference manual.

TRU-TILE

Tru-Tile combines the beauty and luxury of ceramic tile with the ease and convenience of a vinyl liner, offering you the best of both worlds for your pool. Get the look of a tiled, gunite pool without the cost or maintenance issues!


The Tru-Tile system includes a 6” border of real ceramic tile along the waterline with a vinyl liner below. With limitless possibilities for tile selection, you really can make the pool your own.

FACTORS TO CONSIDER WHEN PURCHASING A POOL

How do we plan to use the pool?

Will it be for recreation, exercise, entertaining, or some combination of all of these? If you have a general idea of your intended use of the pool, it can help you work through the design process.
Do we have the time to maintain a pool?Different types of pools require different levels of maintenance. Some, like vinyl liner pools, are relatively simple to maintain. It can take just a few minutes a week to check water and chemical levels.

What will our backyard accommodate?

If you live on the side of a cliff with a steep grade and little or no access for construction vehicles, then you may run into some problems! If you have a tiny backyard but want an Olympic-sized pool, it may not be possible. But for the most part, pool builders are very talented and creative when it comes to designing pools to fit in tight or awkward spaces.

    Benefits of Owning a Pool

    KNOW WHERE YOUR KIDS ARE

    Did you know that the average American family can spend close to $100 a week on each child to entertain them while home from school during the summer? The cost of sports and activity camps can really add up, and so can memberships at town recreation facilities, trips to waterparks, or expensive vacations to the beach.

    With a swimming pool in your backyard, however, your kids have endless entertainment right at home—and you don’t even have to drive them to it! Read more about the benefits of owning a swimming pool by going to http://clicky.me/3dmV
