Once the shell is in place - another series of trenches are dug around the pool to enplace the various pipes that are going to run the operation of the pool itself.
We have a lot of extra "stuff" going on here - and the volume of piping reflects that.
The pool I grew up with was about the same dimensions as this new one, but quite a bit deeper and it had a single pump and filter. This pool is going to have three separate pumping systems, one for the pool itself - one for the waterfall - and a third to drive the counter current swim system.
It took almost 3 days to install the various bits of plumbing - what my friends on the tech side would call the pool's infrastructure.
The next step is to leave all of these trenches exposed so that the county can inspect and sign off on this phase - then the holes are filled in and we can start on the "finishing" of the pool.
Interesting phrase that "finishing" - seems like the vast majority of the big stuff is complete - but the contractors are telling me that it is going to be another 5-8 weeks to actually commission the pool.... this is the slow expensive stuff moving forward.
