Project profile: Ozark Sunset Pool

By Emma Peterson. 

How All3 Pools used Nudura ICFs to deliver energy savings, speedy results and long-term performance. 

When All3 Pools got the request for an in-ground 38,000-gallon saltwater swimming pool for a home in Rogersville, Missouri, they knew they would have to think innovatively to get the project done in an efficient manner. The solution they found? Nudura Insulated Concrete Forms (ICFs).  

Using ICFs enabled the All3 team to expediate the construction process, taking a project that would traditionally take up to eight weeks down to five days! How is this possible? By constructing the pool out of ICF forms, rather than a more conventional material like Gunite, the All3 team was able to eliminate the need for temporary supports or falsework. Further, using ICFs removed the need for separate Gunite, spray foam and plumbing crews on site and enabled the All3 team to use a monopour shell, rather than pouring the walls and floor separately. All of this made for a cleaner and far more efficient installation process without sacrificing any structural integrity!  

And the benefits of using Nudura ICF on this project didn’t stop after installation was over! By using the ICFs, specifically Nudura’s one-sided XR35 Unassembled Panel with 4 in. thick EPS insulation, the finished pool will have optimal thermal insulation. Combined with the automatic pool cover added to the space, the Ozark Sunset Pool is about three times as energy efficient as your traditional in-ground pool. 

Reflecting on the project, the All3 Pools team couldn’t be happier with the choice to use ICFs, sharing, “We truly believe ICF pools are a disruptive technology in the pool space.” And they’re not the only ones that though the project turned out incredible, their work earned them first runner up in ICF Magazine’s pool category.
