jkapit Posted May 12, 2006 Report Share Posted May 12, 2006 I am currently under construction on a new inground pool. This pool will be 8 ft deep and apparently the water table in my yard is about 3 to 4 ft from the bottom of the pool excavation. The township inspector is concernced about how the pool will displace this amount of water. Does anyone think this is a major problem and why? Also, the construction crew dug down an extra 2 feet in the deep end and added extra stone and buried a drain pipe. The pipe runs to the top of the pool deck area and they temporarily hooked it up to a pool pump. It takes about two hours to pump out the water whenever the crew needs to work on the pool. But once it empties the water it looses suction/siphon and the pool slowly fills up overnite. Right now the next step is to shotcrete the pool. The hole is dug, rebar in, and because of this water the inspector has postponed shotcrete until he gets some answers from the pool companies engineer. Any feedback on this situation would be appreciated. Thanks, Joel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
