How do you handle ledges on the fiberglass pools? It seems with these big ledges they have sag, even to the point where when the pool is arriving on the truck you can see twists and obscure areas of the pool even before installation.
at my current property we had a concrete pool. They ended up dropping a fiberglass pool in over the concrete pool. Just 8 years later, the pool is leaking roughly 4 inches of water every 24 hours water. Bucket test confirms the leak. Unable to discover if the leak is in the plumbing system or if it is in the shell itself. Going to plug all the return/suction lines,skimmer, drains and wait to see if it continues to leak at the same rate.
I live in Las Vegas as well. I wish I would have found you 2-3 months ago. We are using Renaissance Pools with a Viking: Fiji model. Viking is really good... Renaissance is a good example of how not to run a pool company. The sales is good, the construction side is like a black hole trying to find out anything! Good video! Thanks.
I think you dig your holes to big and that's why you were having problems with sand backfill also mix a little cement on those long straight walls to stabilize the sand. on an average 8 meter pool I would use about 20 ton of sand and vibrating under seats and steps also half an inch is a long way from level by the way I think gravel is the best product just expensive
The guys that installed our fiber glass pool put in the wrong lamp which is a single color but we paid for a multicolored one and now the water is above the lamp level. What do we do?
Jason, I'm having a similar issues as David Thurner below is having. My pool is about 8 feet deep, I'm not sure the age of the pool, however the house was built in 1976, so I'm assuming the pool is of the same age. This pool has been doing well for the last 8 years. However over time leaks, splitting buckling or bulging at the deep end has occurred. For the last year or so pool has been completely empty due to leakage at the bottom of the deep end. Seems as if the bulging and splitting could be cause of the lack of back fill.... Per you video, I believe it was back filled with sand. Is there anything that can be done to make repairs, or any suggestion on how to secure the back fill a little bit better. I'm not sure there's really a solution, except to remove the fiberglass pool and try to repair it, and reinstall and use gravel for the back fill. Can you suggest anything? Thanks in advance
+davano1979 You know, I wish there was an easy solution for your problems. Your best bet is to fix the pool shell and keep things dry around the pool. Once you get to that point things should remain stable. Actually in your case as well as with David's above, the pools were installed with practices that were acceptable at the time. Fortunately, we are evolving and folks who use updated methods are almost certainly not going to have to deal with these issues. Again, sorry you're going through this and best of luck:)

I sure wish these guys were in the Orlando area - don't know who to trust as a good pool company

WHERE ARE YOU LOCATED? DO YOU GO TO DIFFERENT STATES FOR INSTALLS?....just looked it up and they are in VA...
Do you install in Maryland?? Cecil County? Northeastern corner of the state near the border with Delaware??
Is this install method " below freezing winter conditions approved" as well ? Or only for warm climate ? Thanks
My pool installer says that crushed rock is not necessary, he will be back filling with the excavated dirt. Is this correct?
That's because he wants to put extra money in his pocket instead of doing it the right way.
I wish you were here in las vegas - i have read bad reviews on each installer i find
plannermann Look up Leuisure Pools. I'll be down there this weekend. We also have sales representatives in that area.

Good video! Thanks.
Can u tell me who uses ur pools in Texoma area/North Texas to install?

So how much is this installation?
What areas of the country do you install these pools?
Where are you located.
Very Enlightening!! I will definitely insist on a similar construction of my pool!
The guys that installed our fiber glass pool put in the wrong lamp which is a single color but we paid for a multicolored one and now the water is above the lamp level.
What do we do?
Thank you for the video. Great information.
FYI, music is too loud on your videos. But thank you for the information!
Thanks ! Great teaching :)
Any installers in northern CA. Bay Area?

Thanks for the response Jason. I totally agree with your comment
Hmmmm.... sounds to me like only an earthquake would move the pool!
