When we first began installing fiberglass pools in the early 2000s we encountered our share of problems.
Despite the fact that we fixed each one and made sure every customer was happy, we were still left asking the question:
What went wrong?
Many of these issues were leaks that developed in the plumbing of the pool or in the fittings that the plumbing was connected to.
In the following video we explain our process, called The River Pools Way, that we developed specifically to eliminate these plumbing problems along with the other challenges associated with fiberglass pool installations.
As you can see, we specifically focus on ensuring the plumbing does not move through the use of our plumbing straps and crushed stone backfill, which are two integral components of our advanced installation system.
If you want to learn more, you can watch other videos about The River Pools Way and see how the complete system works.
If you live outside our installation area (Virginia and Maryland), we may have a River Pools Independent Authorized Dealer in your area that uses The River Pools Way and holds to the same rigid standards of excellence.
Did you know that we also manufacture fiberglass pools?

River Pools® manufactures fiberglass pool shells and does not install pools. Pools are installed by locally owned and operated dealers and franchisees. The relationship between the dealers and franchisees to River Pools® is that of an independent contractor. River Pools Franchising LLC (Franchising) provides independently owned and operated River Pool franchisees with the right to market the River Pools brand of pool shells as a franchisee. Franchising does not manufacture pool shells. Due to the unprecedented and historic growth of the River Pools brand, this website contains an abundance of information that has been created over the last decade. Some of the content on this site may reflect prices, perspectives, processes, entities, and names that were relevant at the time but may not be as relevant today.
Consumers should consult their local installer (independent dealer or franchisee) for the most accurate and updated information based on the unique conditions of their property. Consumers should verify specifications with the installing dealer rather than relying on the information on this website, which is not intended to be a final specification.
