At this point check for level across all the block. If the course is not level, use shims or trim the blocks as required. After the second course of ICF blocks are installed and level, spray foam the blocks to the footer/slab.  \nStep 5-Pool Mechanical Check  \nPrior to installing the next ICF courses, identify the location of the pool mechanical features such as skimmer basket, jets, electrical, hydronic requirements and drain location, these will need tobe cut out from the forms and detailed with buck or sleeve block outs (similar to openings in an ICF wall) . See Alleguard’s ICF Installation manual for more information. Continue to stack the ICF blocks to the top of the pool wall, inserting horizontal rebar and zip ties as required.  \nNote: If your pool plans include a prefabricated stair, cut and remove the forms at the desired location to allow the stairs to be cast in place when pouring the concrete.  \nInstall the required ICF bracing at a recommended distance of 6’ (1 .8m) for straight sections and as required for radius and curved sections.  \nStep 6-Pre-Pour Checklist  \nInstall the vertical rebar as per the structural design. Perform a pre-pour inspection to ensure all items have been installed properly. When ready to place concrete in the walls, follow Alleguard’s ICF Installation Manual. The prefabricated stairs are also to be installed level and fastened as per the manufacturer’s specifications at this time.  \nNote: Remember to place any anchor bolts or fastening requirements at the top of the ICF pool wall while the concrete is still wet.  \nStep 7-Exterior Finishing  \nOn the exterior of the ICF wall, at the bottom, place a drainage tile system with gravel around the footer to ensure proper drainage away from the pool. Ensure that the drainage system in connected to a sump pump or sloped to drain away as per typical below grade foundation requirements. Install an ICF compatible, full height, self adhering waterproofing membrane on the walls.  \nStep 8-Interior Finishing  \nOnce the concrete has been poured, it is recommend that the interior of the pool be parged using fiberglass mesh and an ICF parge base coat. This will ensure a smooth rigid surface for the pool liner installation, or a base for a concrete faced pool.  \nStep 9-Pool Finishing  \nAt this stage all the ICF installation requirements have been completed. Follow the pool manufacturers installation instructions for skimmer basket, drains, circulation jets, lights, coping, pool liner, etc.  \nStep 10-Backfill  \nOnce the concrete cures, the ICF wall is backfilled with approximately one foot in width, of freedraining fill (crushed/clear stone) against the outside face of the wall up to the landscaping level in order to facilitate surface drainage into the drainage tile, and prevent accumulation of water against the wall which may lead to excessive hydrostatic pressure or lateral frost heave during the winter.  \nCompete pool edge and decking as per landscape design. Once the water is filled, and the pool is tested You can enjoy many years of your durable and comfortable ICF pool.  \n10 Step Pool Construction Guide  \nThis document is a condensed installation guide designed to provide the main steps in building an ICF pool.  \nWhy Amvic™ ICF Swimming Pool?  \nAs is the case with ICF buildings, an ICF swimming pool provides structural longevity and reduced energy costs. It is estimated that up to 80% of a pool’s heat lost is through the sides and bottom of the pool, since the ground conducts heat far more efficiently than air does. Considering the surface areas of a pool, continuous insulation is the best choice, and an ICF wall with an insulated slab are ideal solutions for modern day swimming pools.  \nIn addition to the energy efficiency and longevity","cbCaismaMxRGpMdP","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaismaMxRGpMdP","pdf",1299505,"English","# Step 4 - Second ICF Course\n## Step 5 - Pool Mechanical Check\n## Step 6 - Pre-Pour Checklist\n## Step 7 - Exterior Finishing\n## Step 8 - Interior Finishing\n## Step 9 - Pool Finishing\n## Step 10 - Backfill","[{\"question\":\"How should the second ICF course be installed and leveled?\",\"answer\":\"Install the second course by reversing the corner blocks so it is offset from the first to create a running bond pattern.
