A fiberglass pool installation runs in eight stages: consultation, site preparation, shell delivery, plumbing and electrical, backfilling, decking and finishing, filling and balancing, and a final walkthrough. Because an Aqua Technics pool shell is manufactured off-site in one piece, the whole process typically takes just a few weeks, depending on site conditions. An authorized builder can walk you through the process and show you how straightforward a fiberglass installation is.
What are the steps in a fiberglass pool installation?
- Consultation and planning: meet your authorized builder to talk through your goals, yard layout, local regulations and your preferred design, size and features.
- Site preparation: your builder assesses the site for grading, access and permits, then marks out the pool, excavates and levels the ground.
- Shell delivery: your fiberglass pool shell arrives as a finished unit. It is lowered into place, leveled and aligned.
- Plumbing and electrical: your builder connects the filtration system, lighting and features such as heaters, all to local code.
- Backfilling: the area around the shell is backfilled and compacted to stabilize the pool and support the structure.
- Decking and finishing touches: concrete, pavers or tiles go in around the pool, along with lighting, landscaping and fencing.
- Filling and balancing: the pool is filled, every system is checked, and the water chemistry is balanced for swimming.
- Final walkthrough: your builder shows you how to run your pool and shares care tips to keep it looking its best.
Why does fiberglass install faster?
The pool shell is manufactured off-site, so there is no on-site pool construction. Aqua Technics pools are made with patented Graphene Nano-Tech®, giving your pool increased strength and rigidity in the pool's structure and Aqua Technics holds ICC-ES quality certification.
