Installing a fiberglass pool is an exciting project that can transform your backyard into a relaxing oasis. At All Property Services (APS), we specialize in installing high-quality fiberglass pools from River Pools, ensuring a seamless and efficient process. In this blog post, we’ll guide you through everything you need to know about fiberglass pool installation, from planning to completion.
1. Planning and Design
The first step in the installation process is careful planning and design. This phase involves:
- Consultation: Schedule a consultation with our team at APS to discuss your vision, preferences, and requirements for your new pool. We’ll help you choose the right size, shape, and features to match your lifestyle and backyard space.
- Site Assessment: We’ll conduct a site assessment to evaluate the best location for your pool, considering factors like sunlight, accessibility, and existing landscaping.
- Design Approval: Once we’ve developed a design that meets your needs, we’ll provide you with a detailed plan and obtain your approval before proceeding.
2. Permits and Approvals
Before installation can begin, it’s essential to obtain the necessary permits and approvals from local authorities. Our team at APS will handle this process for you, ensuring all regulations and requirements are met. This step can take a few weeks, depending on your location.
3. Excavation
With permits in hand, the installation process moves to excavation:
- Site Preparation: We’ll prepare the site by marking the pool’s location and setting up the necessary equipment.
- Excavation: Excavation involves digging the hole for the pool and preparing the ground for installation. This step usually takes 1-2 days, depending on the size and complexity of the project.
4. Pool Delivery and Installation
Fiberglass pools are pre-manufactured and delivered to your home in one piece, making the installation process efficient and straightforward:
- Delivery: The pool shell is transported to your site and carefully unloaded. Delivery and placement typically take 1 day.
- Setting the Pool: Using a crane, the pool is set into the excavated hole. This step includes leveling the pool and ensuring proper alignment. Setting the pool usually takes 1-2 days.
5. Plumbing and Electrical
Once the pool is in place, the next steps involve installing the plumbing and electrical systems:
- Plumbing: We’ll install the necessary plumbing to connect the pool to your home’s water supply, including pipes, fittings, and filtration equipment. This step generally takes 2-3 days.
- Electrical: Our team will also handle the electrical work, ensuring the pool’s pump, lights, and any other features are properly connected and operational.
6. Backfilling and Filling
After the plumbing and electrical systems are installed, the area around the pool is backfilled with soil to secure it in position:
- Backfilling: Backfilling involves filling the space around the pool shell with soil, ensuring stability and proper support. This step usually takes 1-2 days.
- Filling the Pool: Simultaneously, the pool is filled with water, allowing it to settle into place.
7. Decking and Landscaping
The final phase of the installation involves completing the surrounding area:
- Decking: We’ll install the pool deck, which can be made from various materials such as concrete, pavers, or natural stone. The decking provides a safe and attractive area around the pool for lounging and entertaining.
- Landscaping: Our team can also assist with landscaping to enhance the overall look of your backyard oasis. This step typically takes 1-2 weeks, depending on the complexity of the design.
8. Inspection and Final Touches
Before you can start enjoying your new pool, we’ll conduct a thorough inspection to ensure everything is installed correctly and functioning properly:
- Inspection: We’ll inspect the pool, plumbing, electrical systems, and decking to ensure they meet our high standards.
- Final Touches: Any final adjustments or touch-ups will be made during this time to ensure your pool is perfect.
