Mix together more concrete, two bags at a time, inside the pool to make it shallower. Pour the concrete into the bottom of the pool, starting at the deep end, directly from the mixer. Slowly build up the depth by pouring in concrete and swirling it smooth with a trowel.
Pool types
Vinyl liner pools are usually the most amenable to minor changes. They can be made up to a foot shallower by filling the bottom with concrete and applying a new liner on top. Steel or polymer pools are somewhat trickier but can handle structural changes well and on a decently small budget.
Making a pool shallower is a faster and easier process, but both options are possible. The pool company will drain your pool to adjust the depth. To make a pool shallower or deeper, workers will first remove the bottom either with machinery or by hand. Then, they'll add or remove fill to reach the desired depth.
Price: One of the biggest decision-making factors for many pool owners is the cost of the swimming pool renovation. If you want to change the depth of your pool, alterations to vinyl or steel and polymer pools can cost between $10,000 to $50,000.
Changing the depth of a fiberglass pool is more or less the same as building a new pool from scratch. Actual costs will vary dramatically depending on pool size etc, but very rough ballpark numbers are $6K for vinyl, and $20K for plaster.
Changing Depth
Making a pool shallower is typically the simpler of the two. Whether you're choosing to go shallower or deeper, if you have a vinyl pool, the bottom will then be redone with a concrete or vermiculite coating, and you'll have your new depth.
Can a swimming pool shape be changed? In short the answer is yes, usually only if the swimming pool is a concrete structure. Changing the shape of a swimming pool can be very challenging, concrete steps & seats or ledges can easily be added.
At an average of $0.004 per gallon, city water is the most inexpensive and most popular option. For 15,000 to 30,000 gallons, you'll pay between $60 and $120.
Filling your pool with dirt is the fastest and most affordable way to get rid of a pool because there's no need to remove your concrete or metal shell. This saves on both labor and hauling costs. However, filling a pool with dirt is still a delicate process that requires careful preparation, drainage, and demolition.
Enlarge Pool
Maybe you bought a house with a pool that is not large enough to accommodate your needs, or maybe it has a shape that you don't particularly enjoy and you would like to renovate. Whatever the reasons, Neave Pools is here to help. Enlarging a swimming pool or adding a spa can be a large undertaking.
Above Ground Pool Depths
However, many pool owners would like to have the ability to go deeper than 4 feet. Luckily, above ground pools can have both shallow and deep ends, just like an in-ground pool. Another pool option that is gaining popularity is the semi in-ground pool design.
For residential pools, the standard maximum depth of an inground pool is usually 8 feet. But pool builders can build deeper pools. If you plan to install a diving board, 8 feet is the minimum depth you will need in the deep end.
Backfilling a pool is the process of filling the empty space left by the inground pool with gravel, sand, or dirt. Backfilling is just one part of the pool removal process. The concrete floor and walls of the pool must be broken up and/or removed prior to backfilling.
Generally, pool water needs to be replaced once every five to seven years. This should be done during mild weather so that your pool surface is not at risk from strong sunlight and heat. Your pool maintenance company can recommend when it is time to drain your pool.
Splitting that into two lines will not likely double the flow rate as there is a pressure drop, but it should increase the total flow rate considerably. I would expect it to almost double, but not quite.
Will I Run My Well Dry Filling A Pool? You will not run your well dry filling a pool unless the well has a low flow rate. If the flow rate of the well is lower than 150 gallons per hour, then you can run the well dry while filling a pool.
1. Have the water trucked in. It fills up the pool quicker and costs the same amount if using your hose. When you use your hose you have to pay sewer fees.
Half/partial Inground pool removal usually involves:
Drilling holes in the bottom of the pool for additional drainage. Demolishing the top layer of the pool. Backfilling the pool with rubble—usually gravel and soil. Adding and compacting topsoil.
Add onto Existing: In most cases it's possible to be hot-tub ready by building a new spa right into the swimming pool remodeling and adding the required plumbing / equipment. This can be a little more costly than when building it new but it happens all the time!
A tanning shelf or tanning ledge is the perfect feature to add to an existing swimming pool while under renovation. A tanning shelf is an area inside the pool perimeter that sits just about 6-8" below water.
Deep Dive Dubai, located in Dubai's Nad Al Sheba neighborhood, is now verified by the Guinness World Record as the world's deepest swimming pool, at a depth of 169.9 feet (60.02 meters) and holds 14 million liters of water.
Slides must be installed over a water depth of at least 36 inches, dropping to 42-54 inches as you move away from the slide. This generally means the middle of a pool, neither the shallow end nor all the way in the deep end. Too shallow and a slider can hit the bottom of the pool which is dangerous.
Jumping in (Feet First)
The pool should have a depth of 4 feet or deeper. It eliminates injuries while jumping feet first. The water should be sufficiently deep to absorb the individual's impact. For adults and teens, a deeper pool is ideal.
