Choose Your Pool
4 Reasons Why You Need a Swimming Pool at Home Swimming is one of the best ways to beat the heat on a hot day. This is why many people find it beneficial to add an in-ground pool at home. It’s among the most ideal ways to cool down in the comfort of your own property, especially during the summer. Apart from providing a good leisure activity, having a swimming pool at home has other benefits too. Keep reading to discover 4 reasons why you need a swimming pool at home. Health Benefits According to the American Heart Association, swimming activities that last for about 30 minutes every day can benefit the heart, lungs, and circulation. Swimming is a good cardiovascular workout that improves the joints, muscles, and heartbeat. Instead of going to the nearest swimming facility, some households prefer to have their own swimming pools to save time and membership fees. Gym Alternative The swimming pool is where you can perform different workouts in a single place. Working out in your backyard pool can be a good alternative to workout equipment because swimming involves breathing exercises and movement of the whole body. It can increase your endurance, arm and leg strength, and lung capacity. Social Amusement In-ground swimming pools are ideal for those who simply want to do something for fun. Pools are great because they can be enjoyed alone or with family and friends. Often pools inspire people to get off the couch, step away from the computer, or put down the video game controller. Instead of allowing kids to play video games all day, you might find that they’ll enjoy themselves just as much with a swimming session in the backyard. One thing’s for sure, you’ll be the envy of neighborhood as having a pool will drastically improve your barbeques! Good Investment A swimming pool isn’t simply a decoration at home. A pool’s possible benefits to the physical, emotional, and social well-being of the family could also improve relationships. In many cases, an inground swimming pool is considered a good investment in your home as it has the possibility to increase your home’s value. Also, think of the cost savings by having stay-cations instead of lavish vacations. An inground pool is an investment in your home and family that will last a lifetime. A backyard pool is great for many reasons, including possible health benefits, as a gym alternative, for spending time with friends and family and as an investment to enjoy for years to come.

Process of Conctruction
Once you decide that you are ready to move forward with your backyard investment, you will sign a Jaz Pools purchase contract for an Inground pool. This begins a journey that allows your family’s the enjoyment of their own backyard swimming pool. Each step along the way is important to ensuring that your pool is built to a high standard and will last for decades to come. A typical Vinyl Inground Pool installation will follow the process detailed below:
Step 1Permitting
Before any site work can begin, a building permit must be received and posted at the job site. Requirements for approval of permitting vary according to the county or city where the pool is to be built. JAZ Pools will typically provide all of the necessary work and fee payments needed to obtain permits as part of the pool purchase contract. Average time needed for this process is two weeks.
Step 2Excavation
With permit posted and utilities marked, the pool excavation can then take place. This step causes the most dramatic change in the backyard space as it sets in place the footprint for the pool structure that will follow. Excess dirt needed for backfill is placed around the perimeter while the pool bottom is shaped to meet the exact measurements of the pool's design. Average time needed: 1 day
Step 3Wall Installation
Once the excavation and pool bottom preparation is complete, the pool component kit can be delivered to the site and the wall installation begins. A vinyl pool wall structure comprises a set of galvanized steel panels, bolted together, leveled, and braced, to create the perimeter structure of the pool. Average time needed: 1 day
Step 4Plumbing
While the pool walls are being set, work is also being done to install all of the necessary underground PVC plumbing needed to provide for the circulation and filtration of the pool water. An equipment pad is set in proximity to the pool and will consist of a minimum of the pool's pump, filter and electrical controls. Depending on the pool's features and accessories, other underground lines may be "roughed in" at this time.
Step 5Pouring the Collar
Upon completing the wall installation, typically the same day, the installers will order a concrete delivery to pour the wall collar. The collar provides the essential structural strength to the pool as it locks the wall and bracing in a complete underground ring of concrete. The shallow end portion of the pool bottom will also be poured at this time with the same 3000 psi concrete mix used for the collar. Average time needed: 1/2 day
Step 6Pouring the Bottom
Now the works turns to the deep end, or hopper, of the vinyl pool. This part of the pool bottom is completed with a layer of grout ready-mix reinforced with wire mesh in key areas. This pool bottom installation method was perfected by Brown's long before other installers even offered it, and it provides the best strength and durability possible for the pool structure. Average time needed: 1/2 day
Step 7Backfilling and Grading
Once the pool wall, collar and plumbing lines are in place, dirt is backfilled up to the pool's wall structure. A rough grade will be done around the entire pool area to work excess dirt into the overall landscape grade or to provide for any changes in drainage in the yard.
Step 8Settling and Electrical Installation
With the pool structure completed and backfilled, the biggest period of waiting begins. To ensure the integrity of the pool wall structure, the backfill dirt is not heavily compacted by machine. Therefore, it is necessary to allow time for the dirt to naturally settle, helped by rainfall and watering, in order to provide a solid foundation for the pool decking soon to be poured over that dirt. Usually during this time all electrical work is completed by JAZ Pools licensed electrician and fence installation is undertaken if needed. Average time needed: 3 weeks
Step 9Deck Forming
Preparations for the pool deck get underway after adequate settling time has elapsed. Depending on the deck and coping style and whether any rock work is involved, the tasks involved at this point can vary greatly. Typically it involves additional grading, setting of concrete forms to create the deck's shape, installation of rebar reinforcement and bonding grid, and setting of deck hardware such as a diving board, pool ladder and handrails. Average time needed: 1 day
Step 10Deck Pouring
Next the concrete deck is poured. While most commonly a natural gray concrete color with a brush-textured finish, decks can be done in many different colors and textures that involve more installation time. Standard concrete decks will always include the installation of PVC expansion joints as well as deck drain as needed for proper water runoff. Average time needed: 1-2 days
Step 11 Liner Installation and Finish
Now the construction process enters its final days. The pool bottom is thoroughly cleaned and prepped, and the custom-ordered vinyl liner is set in place and fitted. Once the pool has filled with water, a few final accessories may be installed and a final cleanup of the job site will take place. Finally, our staff meets with the homeowner to provide a full orientation of the pool's systems and an overview of the expectations needed for ongoing pool maintenance. Average time needed: 4-5 days
