New Pool Construction

Have you always dreamed of having your own pool? Need a way to cool off during the hot Florida summers? Imagine enjoying sunny days relaxing in crystal blue waters or tanning alongside your new pool with a cool drink in hand. When you live in the Sunshine State, having access to water all year round isn’t just a luxury—it’s a necessity.

Be Aware of Permits & Local Regulations

Pool construction involves compliance with local building codes and safety regulations. Johnson Pools ensures all necessary permits are obtained before construction begins. Common regulations may include:

  • Fencing and Barriers: Most areas require a fence or barrier around the pool for safety, especially if there are young children.
  • Drainage Compliance: Proper drainage must be in place to prevent flooding.
  • Utility Line Approvals: Any plumbing, electrical, or gas installations for the pool must follow code guidelines.



How Long Does New Pool Construction Take?

The timeline for building a new pool can vary depending on the size, type, and complexity of the design. Generally, the new pool construction process takes 6 to 12 weeks. Here's a breakdown of what to expect:

  1. Planning & Permits (1 to 3 Weeks): Securing local permits is one of the first steps. Regulations vary by location, but Johnson Pools will handle the process for you to ensure compliance with local codes.
  2. Excavation (1 Week): Once permits are approved, excavation begins. This involves clearing and shaping the area according to the design.
  3. Pool Structure Installation (2 to 6 Weeks): Depending on the material (vinyl liner, fiberglass, or gunite), the installation of the pool structure can take several weeks.
  4. Plumbing, Electrical, and Equipment Setup (1 to 2 Weeks): This step ensures the pool has proper water flow, lighting, and filtration.
  5. Finishing Touches (1 to 2 Weeks): This includes adding decking, landscaping, and customizing details like waterfalls or lighting systems.

While this timeline gives a general idea, unexpected factors like weather or changes to the design can extend the duration. Our team will keep you updated throughout the process.

Recommended Pool Maintenance



Once your pool is installed, keeping it in pristine condition doesn’t have to be a chore. Proper maintenance will extend its lifespan and ensure safe, enjoyable swimming conditions. Here are key maintenance tips:

  1. Water Cleaning: Skim the surface daily or use an automatic pool cleaner to remove leaves, bugs, and debris.
  2. Chemical Balance: Test your pool’s chemical levels weekly. Ensure the pH, alkalinity, and chlorine levels are balanced to keep the water clear and safe.
  3. Filter Maintenance: Clean your filter regularly to maintain water circulation and remove impurities. Cartridge filters may need cleaning every 2 weeks, while sand filters can be backwashed monthly.
  4. Shocking the Pool: Shock your pool every 1-2 weeks to eliminate bacteria and contaminants. This is especially important after heavy pool use or rain.
  5. Seasonal Checks: Inspect the pool liner, tiles, and structure for cracks or wear each season, and address repairs promptly.

Following these steps will ensure your pool remains beautiful, inviting, and hassle-free.
