After a week delay, work has restarted on pool upgrades. The first step is setting the border tile and skimmer box tile.
Once that tile is set, contractor Horizon Custom Pools will plaster and place mini-pebble tile on the pool bottom. The final construction step will be refurbishing cool decking.
The delay means the pool won't open for about three weeks.
The pool will be closed for approximately 30 days to complete the work and refill the pool. The pool won’t be heated for an additional 30 days to allow materials and chemicals to cure.
The work includes installing StoneScapes mini pebble finish with added glass for color, removing and chipping out old plaster and removing debris from the site. All five pool skimmers have been replaced with new code compliant skimmers. Skimmers will be tied into existing side plumbing and leveled with the pool deck.
The main pool drain has been split and a new drain cover will be installed for safety. The new cover prevents entrapment of children and meets new federal laws on drain safety.
The HOA Board approved the $47,000 project with Horizon Custom Pools to enhance water quality and pool safety. In recent years, surprise algae blooms revealed that despite best efforts to kill off and prevent blooms, recurrences became more frequent. The pool remodel should stabilize water quality and eliminate such blooms.
The HOA Board in the past has approved special treatments and pool repairs, but after 40 years of use the pool needed to be updated. The Board agreed that the investment would be a community benefit many years into the future.
Events at the pool will continue in the patio area.
