A single unit precast concrete tub (1) formed out of concrete wherein a plumbing system (10) and electrical system (11) are encased within preformed concrete walls. The fully encased plumbing system protects the pipes against damage and frost. Support brackets (15) are formed on an exterior surface (4) of the side wall (2) to provide attachment points for hoisting the precast tub for transportation and installation. The support brackets also provide attachment points for building auxiliary structures, such as decks, around the precast tub.

The disclosure provides for pool step forms and related methods for forming steps in a pool formed by wall panels. The step forms may include a wall panel insert configured for insertion between adjacent pool wall panels. The step forms may include one or more step form brace configured to couple with the wall panel insert and, thereby, the wall panels. The step forms may include riser forms that from riser portions of the stairs when the step forms and riser forms are coupled. The pool stair forms may be filled with filling material to form tread portions of the stairs. The pool stair forms may include liner support members coupled to the step form braces and/or the wall panels that facilitate the coupling of a liner to the stairs formed by the pool stair forms and filling material.

A forming apparatus for securing a foam coping core is herein disclosed. The apparatus includes a bracket having a bracket body having an outer face and an opposing inner face, the inner face configured to press against the outer surface of the foam coping core, and one or more slots extending through the bracket body from the outer face to the inner face. A cantilever member is configured for insertion through the bracket body via the one or more slots. The cantilever member secures the bracket to a foam coping core during forming operations.

Exemplary embodiments are directed to deck jet systems including an adjustable cover and flexible finishing cap. The deck jet systems include a housing with threads formed on an inner surface of the housing. The deck jet systems include an adjustment ring with threads formed on an outer surface of the adjustment ring complementary to the threads of the housing. The deck jet systems include an adjustable cover, the bottom surface of the adjustable cover being inserted into the proximal end of the housing and supported by a top surface of the adjustment ring. Engagement of the threads of the housing and the adjustment ring and rotation of the adjustment ring relative to the housing can vary an elevation of the adjustment ring relative to the housing which, in turn, varies an elevation of the adjustable cover relative to the housing. Exemplary embodiments are also directed to methods of adjusting a deck jet system.

The disclosure relates to a modular shuttering block defining a through-housing that connects a first face of the modular block and a second face opposite the first face, for the reception of a filling material; the modular block being provided with means for assembling with at least one other block. According to the disclosure, the modular block is in the form of a right prism with isosceles triangular bases formed by the first and second faces. The disclosure also relates to an assembly formed by a plurality of such modular blocks and finds application notably for the production of swimming pool steps.

A wave pool for producing waves has a first wave-forming portion with an inclined section for causing the waves to begin breaking and a second wave-dampening portion with a raised floor with perforations extended above a bottom chamber floor. The raised floor is preferably adapted with a predetermined porosity such that a boundary layer of energy absorbing vortices and eddies is generated above and below the raised floor, resulting from water passing up and down through the openings, and the boundary layer effects on the raised floor help to dampen the waves.
