Do you backfill with sand, gravel, or dirt?

Gravel is the only proper choice. Sand can wash out over time, causing settling and structural issues with your inground pool.

How do you ensure proper water circulation?

A correctly sized pump and plumbing system minimize maintenance and chemical use by efficiently circulating and filtering water. A scientific approach should be taken to calculate and determine the ideal flow rate, turnover time, and system design for maintaining water quality.

What type of plumbing do you use?

Only use 2-inch Schedule 40 PVC should be used. It handles more volume, filters water faster, and is more durable than 1.5-inch or flex pipe, which deteriorates over time.

How do you level the fiberglass pool and what base do you use?

A minimum 4-inch gravel base should be screeded for precision leveling. Gravel prevents shifting, unlike sand, which can cause structural failures.

How do you secure the inground pool in place?

A bond beam (concrete collar) should be used around the pool's rim to lock it in place and provides a solid foundation for decking.

How do you prevent walls from bowing during installation?

Gradual backfilling with gravel and filling the pool with water simultaneously ensures walls stay straight and do not bow.
