The pool depth was super important to me and a few inches was significant as I wanted to be able to stand in my deep end and have my entire head out of the water. I searched that last questions for months and you just answered it. Thank you. I am relieved.
Great video and great timing.
Excellent concise video, with a great presentation by an engaging and knowledgeable professional. Well done and THANK YOU!!
Love it
Christian, you are the man and river pools by far sets the bar for the fiberglass pool industry, thank you so much!!! Unfortunately there was not an installer in Northwest Ohio years ago when got our fiberglass pool but I refer everyone to your website and CZcams channel. 3 questions please. 1. I made sure they installed a drain tube with my fiberglass pool per the manufacturers requirements, it has a sump pump in the bottom plumbed to pvc with an electrical outlet that ties into a yard french drain, I have left it on for years so any ground water is pumped out, usually only after a heavy rain as the pool is elevated above a depression swale in the lawn, should I stop running that and just let the ground water fill in a couple feet at most around the pool as I have observed with the pump turned off for a couple months? 2. I also have an in ground fiberglass hot tub not connected to the pool, it has just started light cracking in the gel coat at the bottom floor outside ring, any tips on what could have caused that, I’m sure they will cover gel coat resurface under warranty as it is a reputable company, only thing I can guess is I do drain it at end of season most of the way to plug nine outlets, even though it’s only 2.5’ deep maybe it didn’t like that reduction in water pressure against the earth? 3. Finally, I remember now the pool installer used flexible pvc on the long runs from the pool and hot tub under the concrete deck, only a couple feet came out into earth to turn to the pumps, am I screwed from bugs eating into them over the years or will a diligent ground pest treatment in that earth area and the crushed stone base/concrete over most of the flex piping protect those from bug damage I heard they suffer from?
Slow downs are coming. Party will soon be over when interest rates are too high for people to afford. What’s pathetic is a middle class person like myself, is being told by several pool companies that a fiberglass pool with a basic surround is gonna cost me $90,000. That’s way too much and out of reach for me and soon will be out of reach for a lot of people. These pool dealers are gouging the prices and people are just financing. Soon the belt will tighten up and financing will dry up. I can’t wait for this day because I won’t forget the arrogance of some of the companies I dealt with which will in turn hopefully go out of business. River pool dealer I called was one of the most affordable out of all but still, $87,000? Way too much. I’ll dig a ditch and fill it with water before I pay that!
I can relate in a way. We started the process about the time you made this post. We had decided we wanted to use one company and had them out for a quote. He didn't measure, no pictures, said it didn't matter where we put it on the six lots or what type, the price would be about $150K LOL. They are probably the most reputable and established company in NW Arkansas too. I think what happened is he looked around, saw $ signs and thought the price would not matter. I took two other bids, one at $89K, one at $114K. Both still way high if you Google what a pool install should cost in 2023. I heard the first company has a promo running now on the way to a meeting yesterday so I am going down there today to see if the same clown still works there and give them one more opportunity to earn our business or we will go with the middle bid. They will be out Tuesday with a contract and install date prior to Memorial Day otherwise. Someone needs to educate these twats, I learned a long time ago it's better to sell a LOT and make a LITTLE than sell a LITTLE and make a LOT. Idiots.
The pool companies are indeed gouging customers. I would wait 4-5 years before getting a pool. This recession is only just waking up. Demand is going to plummet and prices will as well. Videos like this exist because they(the pool companies) are tracking what is really going on and want to lock in deposits etc now. They are well aware that expendable income is going to vanish for a lot of middle class people.
You make great videos. Do you install pools in the Keysville/ FarmVille area?
as of today, here in B.C. Canada, the wait time for a fibreglass pool is about 30 weeks.
Rates and inflation rising, new home sales slowing down... you will see a slow down in demand. Many of your clients are financing, at what use to be record low rates, making it easier to borrow, and with covid lock downs (everyone's home), that's changing now.
My question is sort of off topic but still pool related. We live near enough to a quarry that when they periodically blast, we hear & feel the after shocks in our yard & in our house. Surprisingly, we hardly have any cracking or shifting showing up on our interior house walls as a result of these shock waves, which may speak to the quality construction of our home. I would love to have an inground pool in our backyard. We have a large patio area out back that pretty much begs for a pool. We are in central North Carolina with hot humid summers which also begs for a pool for cooling off. My concern is that with us feeling the effects of those quarry blasts, an inground pool would suffer cracking, leaking, etc ... potentially being a recurring problem incurring lots of $$$. I'd like to hear what a professional pool installer like River Pools would say in response to this. Thanks for any reply.
Hi, I live and FL and have an Airella San Juan pool about to be installed in my backyard. My question is while they are installing the pool can they add a Baja Shelf and incorporate it into the pool and the cool deck. Thanks
Congrats on your new pool! The answer to your question is YES...a separate component, in your case a baja shelf, can be incorporated into the project. The pool will be set first, then the baja shelf. Send pics of the first cannonball and we'll celebrate with you!

Hi Copy Cat! The image in the thumbnail is an X36👍
So we have two trusted fiberglass dealer in Sac, CA. One wont be able to start 07/22 and the other said Fall 2022. Wish there were more fiberglass dealers in Nor Cal.
Hi J.v.! Thanks for watching and commenting...The demand for inground pools remains at an all time high. We'd love to be able to work with you on a project for your backyard, but our products aren't available in Cal. just yet. Best of luck on your project!
I have a better idea Move out of CA, the state sucks
Victor first question should of been how much do these things cost, but I guess Victor is rich $$
How long do these pool last
Crickets. That's why I won't buy a fiberglass pool. They don't last long.
@@bc_usa if you were to actually look into it you would see they last the longest. Concrete requires resurfacing every 8-10 years, vinyl has to be replaced entirely every 6-12 years and fiberglass lasts over 30 years.
Bet you’re slowing down now buddy.
Ted Cruz?
Jesus, could you just talk without stopping to work? You don't have to prove that you're busy. Very annoying to watch this video because we have to wait for you to finish doing random things in the middle of your sentences before you finish your sentences.
That's because they want to appear as they are soooo busy. I wouldn't be surprised if he made up his friend texting him questions just so he could make a video. I don't blame him..the guy is just trying to stay in business. I have a friend that works for a pool company and he says even though there is no business they still have raised their prices. Nobody is buying pools right now. Most people are trying to decide whether to fill up the gas tank in their vehicle or eat. They're definitely not thinking about buying an over priced pool.
@@bc_usa if you are worrying about the aforementioned things then you don't need a pool in the first place right?
