Installation Process for Fiberglass Pools
by My Fibreglass Pool Professional inground fibreglass swimming pool buiInstalling
a swimming pool is a big task. There are lots of procedures and sub-procedures
involved. When it comes to installing a fiberglass pool, there are certain
steps that would come chronologically. Here is the list:
Ø Excavation
Ø Setting and Leveling the Pool
Ø Plumbing the Pool and Filter System
Ø Back-filling the Pool Shell
Ø Coping and Patio
Ø Pool Fence
Ø Phase One: Excavation
First,
it’s the excavation part that would be carried out. A big excavator will be
used to dig the hole for lifting and setting the pool. The dirt being formed
because of digging will be collected using a skid steer. The pool builders will
paint the pool on the ground while using a laser level to calculate the height
of the pool. Accordingly, the hole would be dug.
o
Phase Two: Placement of the grave
foundation
Once
the excavation part gets over, the pool
builders Brisbane will be placing a 2”-3”
thick gravel layer in the hole. This is done to ensure that the pool finds a
suitable support to rest on. The gravel base will also play an integral role in
determining the overall pool height. This will help in setting the gravel at
precisely the correct elevation point. Gravel is always a better alternative to
sand when it comes to the installation. Using sand, there can be certain
problems in pool settlement, and also other issues like bulges in the walls,
leaks in plumbing and fittings, etc. On the other hand, gravel never causes
such problems.
o
Phase Three: Plumbing the pool while
handling the filter system
The
filter system comprises two major components- pool pump and filter. The pump is
used for circulating the water while the filter helps in removing the micro
particles and debris from the water. The filter system will also be fitted with
valves to control the flow of water, a switch to turn on and off the pool
light, a heater, and salt water chlorinators.
o
Phase Four: Backfilling of the pool
shell
After
the completion of the plumbing work, the pool is being set in the hole and
leveled accordingly. After that, fill the pool with water. Also, it is time to
backfill around the gravel outsets. It is necessary to get both the filling of
the pool with water and backfilling on the outside of the gravel carried out
simultaneously to equalize the pressure.
o
Phase Five: Coping and decking
Once
the pool is completely backfilled and inspections being approached, the pool
builders will start with the installation of the coping around the top the pool
patio and pool shell. The patio can take somewhere in between 2–5 days to get
installed. The patio is responsible for locking the pool shell into place.
o
Phase Six: Fencing
Once
the patio installation part gets completed, it’s time to focus on the home
stretching and fencing part. It would depend entirely on the weather condition
as to how much more time to get completed. Get the pool fence installed
properly. Get it approved. Fiberglass
pools or any other variant of inground swimming pools require
proper fencing around the pool to safeguard the area and prevent chances of
accidents.
