Fiberglass pool installation procedure step by step

Let’s quickly go over the steps of installing a Fiberglass Pool:

• Site excavation – Once the pool has been approved by the Local Municipality work can start on the excavation process. The site will be excavated about 10cm deeper and about 30cm wider than the Fiberglass Pool. This is to allow space for plumbing and backfill material.
• Primary plumbing and Pool Setting – Once the hole is dug to the required size installers will lay primary plumbing, and cover it with the base material. The pool will then be lowered into the hole and Set on the prepared base material.
• Completing of plumbing and electrical installation – The remainder of the plumbing, electrical, and filtration system will be installed.
• Backfilling the Shell and filling the pool – The team of pool installers will then Backfill the Pool on the sides while the water level rises. The more intricate the design of the pool the longer the backfill process will take. Backfilling the pool can take from one to five days depending on the project.

• First Inspection – Once we have backfilled the pool and the pool is full of water we will perform an inspection of the pool to ensure that all areas are backfilled correctly and that all plumbing and electrical installations are working correctly.
• Coping and Deck installation – Once we have verified that everything is working as it should and backfilled correctly we will start with the Coping Process. Coping is the casting and installing of cement or stone ledge that surrounds the pools. Our partners will cast the Coping for better rigidity. Once the Coping has dried they will start with whatever pool surround you desire. This can be decking, normal paving or stone paving.
• Clean up and Water Balancing – Once the pool surrounds are done it’s time to get the pool ready for use. The team will start cleaning the area and ensure that the water is ready for your family to swim in.  
• Enjoy your Pool for many years to come – After cleanup, your pool is ready to enjoy. 

Advantages of Fiberglass Pools

There are many options when installing an inground pool. Let’s have a look at why are fiberglass pools a great option.

• Quick installation – The shells are premanufactured and are installed as a single piece or two pieces that are bolted together for a larger installation. That means that there is no waiting time for surfaces etc.
• Fiberglass Pools are very Durable – Fiberglass pools are more robust, long-lasting, and unlikely to sustain damage. Even though vinyl pools have many advantages as well, fiberglass pools are simply less prone to be punctured. As a result, the chance of damage is reduced, and pool maintenance expenses will be lower overall.
• Lower Maintenance – Swimming pools made of fiberglass are renowned for requiring little upkeep. That’s in part because fiberglass offers a smooth, non-porous surface in addition to the durability already discussed. Algae commonly grow on other pools’ more uneven surfaces. Customers with fiberglass pools claim to spend less time weekly cleaning and maintaining their pools, as well as requiring less maintenance in the long run.
• No Liner Replacements or resurfacing  – Fiberglass pools do not require a Liner to be replaced and will not require resurfacing. A simple coat of paint will be required after years of use. 
• Lower lifetime cost – For instance, vinyl liners are less expensive upfront than fiberglass pools. But when you take into account the reduced maintenance requirements and other advantages, fiberglass pools actually end up being less expensive to own over time.
