All War- <br />ences to pools in this report apply also to spas. <br />The fiberglass pool is formed against a one-piece interior <br />form or mold In the following manner. The form is treated with <br />a parting aged to ensure separation of the liner from the mold <br />after fabrication. An Isophthalic/neopentyl-glycol gel coaling <br />30 mils (0 8 mm) thick Is spray -applied to the surface of <br />:he form. A flberglsss hand layup consisting of a 11/2-ounce, <br />(40 g) reinforcing mat of random chopped strands of fiber- <br />glass Is applied to the cured gel coating, which Is then treated <br />with an isophthelic polyester resin applied with a 35 percent <br />minimum saturation factor. A second layer consisting of <br />1112-ounco (40 g) reinforcing mat is laid overthe previous lay. <br />of and saturated with Isophthalic polyester resin. The third <br />layer consisting of A 24-ounce (700 g) woven roving is applisd <br />over the previous construction and saturated with another <br />coating of Isophthalic polyester resin. The process of alternat- <br />ing layers of fiberglass mat and woven roving saturated with <br />resin is continued until a total of five layers has been built up. <br />The completed pool has a minimum cured thickness of <br />3/1e Inch (4.8 min). The woven roving and reinforcing mats are <br />applied to that the lapped splices between the individual rolls <br />of the material occur at the same locations and are E to 8 <br />inches (152 to 203 mm) wide. This provides an additional <br />thickness (a lotal of 10 plies) to the linerin the form of periodic <br />stiffening elements. The fiberglass has a minimum tensile <br />strength of 11,360 pounds per square Inch (78.3 MPa) and <br />a modulus of rupture of 23,500 pounds per square inch <br />(162 Mpg). <br />The pools have aflberglass coping approximately 6 inches <br />(152 mm) wide around all sides, the exterior edge of which is <br />bent down or depressed to engage the poured -In -place con• <br />crete coping during field installation. One corner of the pool <br />end is provided with curved steps for access. <br />A main drain is built into the fiberglass pool at the despond. <br />Extending from the main drain box are the necessary service <br />lines to the filter equipment. A gravel sump is provided be- <br />neath the main drain base to collect any ground water o <br />drainage from the send bed on which the pool 1s installed <br />Leading from this gravel sump is a 11/24nch (36.1 mm) plastic <br />pipe extending to ground level which is utilized to relieve <br />hydrostatic pressure by collecting and disposing of ground or <br />scepagewaterwhen it becomes necessary to empty the pool <br />The pool is provided at the deep end with an underwater <br />recessed light pocket and floodlight. The floodlight and all <br />electrical apparatus in connection with the pool ere required <br />to be adequately gmunded. All plumbing and electrical work <br />is required to comply with the codes in effect at the construc. <br />tion slte. <br />The cool design requires it to remain full of water at all <br />times. A permanent sign Is to be attached to the plumbing <br />equipment and is to read as follows. "Notice --Pool is do - <br />signed to remain full of water at all times. Pool shah may be <br />damaged if water level is allowed to drop belowthe pool skim <br />men.

The existence of ground water within the depth of the pool <br />excavation. <br />2. The existence of an uncompacted fill in contact with any <br />potion of the pool. <br />The existence of any expansive or adobe -type soils, at or <br />within the confines of the pool area. <br />4. The existence ofany soil typeswhose angleof repose wit' <br />not support the walls of the excavation at the desired <br />slopes <br />- <br />5. The location of the proposed pool excavation so that it <br />would have a tendency to endanger adjacent structures. <br />If one or more of the above conditions are encountered, the <br />excavation for the pool shall Immediately cease until the spe. <br />cifc conditions at the site have been reviewed and reddm- <br />mendations made by a qualified engineer. The engineer's re. <br />Pont of this review and recommendation Is to be submitted to <br />the building official having jurisdiction over the construction <br />she, and his approval obtained prior to continuance or the <br />work. <br />` The excavation for the pool consists of removing The exist. <br />ing sell from the proposed area, utilizing chain -type screeds <br />to unsure a 6-Inch 052 mm) minimum over-excevation of the <br />pool bottom and all sides. The required drains and plumbing <br />work are Installed and a contoured layer of clean sand is <br />placed in the lower areas of the pool up to a point at which <br />sloughing would occur. The Paul Is then planed on this sand <br />bed and carefully aligned and leveled to preclude any buck. <br />ling or irregularities in the fiberglass Water is introduced into <br />the pool proper and up to a level approximately equal with the <br />sand layer.
