Pool Re-Levelling Process

 

It is important when choosing a business to Pencil Compact your pool, to check their qualifications and the guarantees they offer you.

 

Unfortunatly too often we have seen clients take the cheaper option with devastating results, not realising the expensive ramifications.

 

The picture on the right illustrates what can happen if an unqualified contractor compacts a pool.

 

The shallow end of the pool has sunk by 30mm creating an uneven look when the pool is full. It now requires supports under the edgebeam to jack the shell to the correct height.

 

Below is a step by step process to rectify the problem.

 

• Pool water is pumped out to eleviate the weight at the shallow end of the pool. (Photo 1)

• The sand which was used to backfill the pool needs to be re-excavatedback away from the pool in order for jacks to be positioned for lifting. (Photo 1)
• Jacks have been positioned in three areas in order for an even lift. (Photo 1)
• Levels are checked prior to lifting low points of the pool. (Photo 2)

• Jacks are carefully raised until levels are correct. (Photo 3)

• Whilst the jacks hold the correct position, sand is thoroughly washed in to support the level. (Photo 4)

• Once the level has been fixed, the pool can then be backfilled and then filled with water.

• Once the pool is full, pencil compacting is completed from a qualified company.

Some contractors working in Perth around fibreglass and concrete pools are unqualified to do works such as pencil compacting. Please be aware using unprofessional contractors may void the warranty on your pools shell and are not recommended by the major pool companys for obvious reasons.

Before organising any works around your pool we recommend contacting your pool company and make sure they recommend only professionals who will fully guarantee their work and are willing to provide independent customer references.
