Cost savings are two-fold.
The first cost savings is eliminatingexpensive pool kits that are left behindtime after time. In addition, when utilizing the Swim-crete pool systemfor all-concrete pool construction, iteliminates much of the labor intensiveconstruction process.
Secondly, unskilled labor is easily trainedto utilize the system, whether constructinga vinyl liner or all-concrete pool.

Our pool dealers have found theyachieve greater margins because ofthe many inherent advantages ofconcrete. These include quality,strength, durability and flexibility.Pool dealers have realized additionalprofits generated by using theSwim-crete step system as anupgrade to their customers. Thispractice often pays for the entireforming system.

"I am a pool builderin the Raleigh, NCarea and I have beenin the pool businesssince 1984. Two ofthe things I look forin my business is away to give my customer a betterproduct than theycan get anywhere else, and secondly, a way toset myself apart from the local competition.
I am so fortunate to have responded to theemail last year from Swim-crete. They wereextremely helpful from the very beginning aswere their existing customers that I spokewith and visited. They walked me througheverything and helped me install two pools. Ialso worked with the marketing department.They made a nice two page brochure that Iam using as a newspaper insert. The cost wasvery reasonable. From my first contact, to now,I feel that Swim-crete has gone out of their wayto make sure that my business is better than itwas before. I look more professional and Ibuild a better pool. Please, if you live out of mymarket area contact me, I will be glad to help!"

4. Higher Profits
Daily, Swim-crete forming systems are used around the world. With minimalmaintenance pool dealers have found that they get 2,000 or more uses with ourforming system. This is achieved by using lightweight high grade aluminum,addition to advance robotics, fiber optics, and the latest in computer technology in the manufacturing process.

The Swim-crete system allowsunskilled labor to be quickly trainedin the use of the forming equipment.This is achieved by utilizing light-weight, high strength aluminum inthe manufacture of the forms. Thismakes the modular system manportable and easy to assemble withoutthe need of additional equipment.

Skimmers
Method 1 - Pour in placeDedicate an interior concrete form, screw holes in face sheet for skimmer, and use a pilaster form on exterior wall. Add short section of pipe with coupling to skimmer. Coupling should be taped and fit securely against pilaster form.
Method 2 - Block-out
Simply block-out an area to desired dimension using wood or a prefabricated concrete form block-out.After forms are removed, place skimmer in wall and finish installation using mortar.

Return Fittings
Method 2 - BlockoutSimply blockout with a 4" piece of PVC pipe. Once forms are removed fill PVC pipe with mortar and push inlet headwith plumbing extension of at least 11" through pipe (be sure both ends of inlet fixture are taped). Then trowel to asmooth finish as seen below.

Cascading/Shear Wall FountainsIn much the same fashion as other swimmingpool white goods and lighting, cascading/shear wallfountains can be installed utilizing the block-outmethod or the pour in place method.

• Lay pool shape out• Excavate pool & hopper• Chalk lines for interior
pool panels
ExcavationCommonly an inside 6" lip is part ofthe over dig. The purpose of this lipis to allow working room for settingof forms. Once forms are set andconcrete placed, cut this lip awaywhen shaping the hopper. Also, theworking shelf should be as level aspossible for the setting of theconcrete forms.
The excavated depth of the hopper should be 9" to 12" deeper than the specified finished depth to compensate for the material used for surfacing thebottom and hole shaping.

Steps - ConcreteSteps should always be set first when utilizing the Swim-crete concrete step system. Refer to step prints for formplacement of the particular step design you are utilizing.
Setting FormsOnce the shelf is prepared, lay out forms,both inside and outside. Utilizing theSwim-crete pool prints, start with the stepforms. Step forms should be set and levelprior to setting any wall forms. When stepforming is complete, begin setting wall. Wallscan be set from both sides of the step system to enable closing of forms at oppositeend of pool.
13www.swimcrete.com
Steps - FiberglassFiberglass steps may also be used with the Swim-crete system. If using a fiberglass step kit,use two C.C.A. treated 2x10's with lag bolts tosecure step system to lumber, ensuring bolts protrudeinto space that will be poured in concrete. Thiswill allow for anchoring into concrete wall.
Squaring & LevelingTo determine if your pool is square, check your poolprint for proper squaring dimension, adjust as needed.
Shoot to the top of the forms using a laser or transitto establish highest point of pool. Start from theopposite end of the pool using shims to level towardshigh point until pool is level.
For radius pools see HUB prints.
Other fiberglass items, such as swimouts/benches are installed in a similar manner.

Placing ConcreteAfter the form system is level and square, check all inletfittings, skimmers, light housing and tie placement toensure they are secured properly. Then concrete is ready tobe placed. Recommended concrete is a minimum of 3,000psi, 3" slump mix for steps. Once concrete steps are poured,increase concrete slump to desired flowability for wall area.For concrete yardage refer to Swim-crete pool prints.

Form RemovalOnce concrete has achieved minimum required strength(typically the morning after concrete placement), theforms can be removed. When utilizing radius forms, formremoval begins at an outside radius or straight wall form.
Note: Remove all screws from forms where white goodsare located prior to stripping forms.
The exposed tie ends are easilybroken off using a standardhammer or the tie breaking bar.

Wall FoamWhile Swim-crete aluminum forming systempours a smooth wall with minimal seams, it isrecommended to foam the walls to protect thevinyl liner from unnecessary wear. When theSwim-crete step system is incorporated into thepool it is also recommended to apply foam, if itis to be vinyl lined. Using spray adhesive, spraythe walls and then attach the foam shape andsmooth bottom of pool, eliminating any ledge that may be left where pool wall and floor meet.
17www.swimcrete.com
Track/Vinyl Liner InstallationSwim-crete recommends using Aluma-Trac liner track (aluminum track). This can be installed by drilling into thetop of the wall using a standard hammer drill and attachingwith stainless steel concrete screws, or by simply nailing thetrack on the day after the finished pour with concrete nails. Ifusing a plastic track retainer, it can be poured in place and thetrack attached to it.
Install vinyl liner per manufacturer's directions.
