Summary: Aqua Concepts rebuilt most of my swimming pool (70-year-old, 20’x40’, 9’ deep maindrain, rectangular pool) from the rebar on up, replastered the pool, added new steps, pressure tested my maindrain, installed a split maindrain, and recommended a pool Startup party that I am very happy with. Time Frame: May-June 2021 (COVID time) Overall grade: “A”. Issues\Complaints: None My Aqua Concepts contact: Chris was always available to answer my questions whether by text, phone call, or in-person visit. He did so in a timely manner. He also suggested alternate approaches and ideas that could be implemented during the rebuild. Very helpful. Background: Initially I planned only to replaster the pool. The surface looked OK except for a few “red spots” in the shallow end. Those spots turned out to be rusted rebar that had penetrated the plaster! This finding changed the entire nature of the job. Aqua Concepts dug several “windows” into the plaster and it was evident that rust was widespread. To affect a reasonable rebuild price, they built a new rebar shell (say 6”) above the old one, covered both rebar frames with shotcrete (at 3500 psi), bead blasted my existing tile (came out pretty good looking) and all this for half the price of a new pool (new pool of this size: 80-90k.) They also built the rebar shell for the new steps. (As I’m retired, I watched every step of the rebuild closely, asked lots of questions, and enjoyed the process).

This is a great business run by people with integrity! They provide honest service, good advice, and competent work. I had a badly cracked pool after the big earthquake here in Los Angeles, and over many months I got bids from many pool contractors, surveyors and soil analysts. Nothing came back under $100,000:00. So we held off but kept looking and found that three of the characters we had met were defendants in laws suites for conning their clients. Searching again we found Richard Schwag at Aqua Concepts in 2002. His team came in, cut out the cracks wired in new rebar, shot concrete and then re-plastered the whole pool. A new pump was plumbed in and we have been set ever since. The cost was $9200 then. So you do the math and make up your own mind.
