Plumbing - The Peninsula at Windsong Ranch, Prosper, Texas!
North Dallas clay soil is very expansive which makes this one of the most difficult areas in the country to build a pool. Vinyl liner pools are rarely installed here due to these soil conditions. Rock is a very expensive building material, but we over-dig the pool and install interlocking rock to provide insulation between the pool shell and the clay soil. It also provides a space for any water that accumulates under the pool.
This pool is "Short-Plumbed" which means the plumbing stops just outside the shotcrete wall to prevent cave-ins. Once the shotcrete is installed and the yard is stabilized, the long plumb will take the pipes the rest of the way to the equipment pad. This method also provides the easiest access to plumbing for maintenance in the future.
We installed 2.5" main drain and spa drain plumbing for better waterflow. While this larger pipe is more expensive, it will reduce the strain and cost of running the pump for years to come.
