We can even create custom fiberglass pools to suit most any application.

Once you have have selected the perfect pool that fits your needs the quick installation process can begin.

First, the layout of your new pool is marked in your back yard, usually with a pre-cut template, to ensure the correct placement of your pool. This also saves time during the installation process because only the ground within the precision marks will be dug up with little over dig.

Measurements are taken of the hole to insure the precise shape, width, and depth of your pool of choice. Your new fiberglass pool from Viking Pools is then lowered into the perfect size hole. This perfectly dug hole will help ensure pool structure stability over the many years to come.

The pool is then locked into place and the backfill process begins. Once the pool is filled with water and backfilled with sand, the plumbing and electrical equipment will be installed. The EcoFriendly non-porous surface of a fiberglass pool helps maintain the prevention of algae growth. Less algae means less pump cleaner run time, and in turn saving you money!

Ceramic Core Technology - Viking Pools

2010-12-07T07:07:00.000-08:00

The ceramic core technology was first introduced into composite fiberglass swimming pools back in 1993 by Compass Pools of Australia. It was quickly patented in Australia by Compass and then shortly thereafter, Viking Pools, LLC introduced the technology to North America.

By adding together a complex mix of components contained within the ceramic core, Viking Pools is able to offer a product with greater structural strength, more impact resistant, enhanced expansion and contraction properties, and better waterproofing characteristics than more traditional fiberglass pool construction.

More layers, using greater structural and waterproofing components equals better long term performance. Independent lab tests showed that the Viking Pool has the flexural strength of 41,796 P.S.I.

The ceramic core is one of the many reasons that Viking Pools offers a Lifetime Structural Warranty. As long as you own the pool, regardless of State definitions on lifetime warranties, Viking will stand behind our products with a true lifetime warranty.

As the largest fiberglass composite swimming pool manufacturer in North America, and the only one offering ceramic core technology in North America since 1995, you can rest assured that Viking Pools understands how to build a pool to meet and exceed your expectations.
