Process of installing fiberglass pools.
Guide below:
1. Digging and site prep
This is the time to choose the best position of the pool in relation to the sun. The most suitable location is the highest, where rainwater does not seep into the pool. The first step is to mark the exact installation site of the pool. Dig the hole a foot larger than the outside of the pool and about 2 inches deeper than the pool depth.2. Concreting the base for the pool
Start with leveling the base and pouring about 3 inches of concrete (rebar maybe necessary for unstable soils). Some installers make a 2 inches sand mattress between the floor and the pool, which is not wrong. However we advise placing the pool directly on the concrete base.

First of all Install the deep end suction fittings. Once the pool is set level, the process of adding water and backfill begins. The pool will be simultaneously filling with water while it is backfilled with gravel to provide equal pressure and stability on both sides of the fiberglass walls. It's important that the gravel on the outside and the water on the inside are brought up together to equalize the pressure. Make sure that pool levels are in perfectly place.
