The process of setting a Deep End Fiberglass Pool is the most critical phase of the construction process. An improper set could result in damage to the pool shell when the weight of the water is placed on the structure.
There are 3 critical aspects of setting a Deep End Fiberglass Pool:
1. Proper transition alignment
When the pool is set, it is critical to ensure that the breaks in the shallow and deep ends align with the breaks of the excavation. This requires careful placement of the pool as well as inspecting the set from inside the excavated area.
2. Checking for voids under the Fiberglass Pool
It's critical to insure that the entire pool floor rests on the base material...especially along the shallow and deep end breaks. Your pool builder should demonstrate the process of walking the floor of the pool to ensure it is on a solid foundation.
3. The pool must be Level
Any experienced fiberglass pool installer will tell you that it's more difficult to level a transitional, or hopper bottom fiberglass pool than a pool with a constant slope. Notwithstanding, it is critical to ensure that the pool is level along the shallow and deep end breaks first because they cannot be adjusted, then focus on the shallow and deep ends of the pool.
