Above Ground Pools Installed

Punctual arrival at scheduled appointment time. We like to be on time and customers expect it. The first thing we get there is to do a visual assessment of the pool’s desired install location. From there we perform a quick inventory of the pool supplies and mark out the area to be excavated. We then begin the construction of the pool, ensuring it’s level and measurements are correct. Once the shell of the pool is complete, installation of the pool liner, pool floor pad, nutgrass killer and pool cove are installed. After the wrinkles have been removed from both the pool floor and wall we move on to the installation of the filter system, salt system and other accessories. After everything is hooked up and checked we take all cartons and pool related packaging materials to the curb for pick up. Once we have cleaned up our tools and made the area safe, we give a the new pool owner a crash course in operating and maintaining their new swimming pool. Typical timeline for complete pool installation is 3-8 hours depending on pool model and size.

The price schedule above covers about 90% of the pool installations we do, and is for typical new flat bottom pools only. Prices may vary for pools with decking or yards in need of additional grading. Although similarly priced, used pools usually cost a little more to install because they typically are in less than pristine condition. This means parts are often bent, missing or damaged and require additional time and effort to make work. Lastly, we cannot install or build pool ladders or steps ever. This is due to insurance regulations. Sorry.

For customer having us build your above ground pool there are a few things that are required in order for our crew to complete the job. There are only 3 things we need prior to arrival and most you probably already have. First, all of the pool components and accessories should be delivered and on-site at the time of appointment. Secondly we will need running water as the pool installation requires a small amount to set the liner, install the skimmer and remove all the wrinkles. You too will need the water to completely fill the pool upon completion of the installation. Lastly we need electricity for a very short time. Access to a typical electrical outlet for approximately 15 minutes is all that’s needed. In most cases it takes our crew approximately 3-8 hours to install most above ground pools. This time varies depending on pool size and location conditions. After completion the average pool takes an additional 8-20 hours to fill depending on pool size and water pressure. Once full it’s time to swim!

Because we get so many questions in regards to this topic we’ve added a list of common above ground pool liner accessories and replacement items to consider when replacing your above ground pool liner. Each have a brief description of what they are and do. Along with this we mention how important they may be for a Florida pool liner installation. As you already know our intense sunshine, long summer season and unique soil conditions can really do a job on any Florida above ground pool. So with a little knowledge and upfront planning you’ll likely add years to the longevity of your pool while providing many years of trouble free use.

Here’s one last bit of advise about ordering pool liner supplies. Take the time to double check pool size, you may be glad you did. I know this may sound silly but one of the most common mistakes made is ordering the wrong size pool liner and accessories. If you end up with the wrong size items it may be weeks before you finally get your pool up and running:(

We don’t sell pool supplies, however you still have some great options for purchasing all the items necessary for your pool liner change, but there is one harsh reality ahead. It’s important to understand that no one has all of this stuff up the street, on a shelf and in your size. It will have to be ordered and that’s just a sign of the times. It’s not really any big deal as good companies can have this stuff at your doorstep in just a few days.

So where do you go? There are big box stores, online retailers and your neighborhood corner pool store. I can say from the experience of having dealt with them all at one time or another that some are great and some downright bad. And what ever you do, don’t use price as your only criteria when shopping for pool parts. There are many ways you can be burned when it seems to be a great deal.

You could go to big box stores like Amazon or Ebay but I’ve never found any real savings there and the product quality can be inferior. The prices aren’t always cheaper and you never can speak with anyone. This may be alright with you but it’s not the way I like to do business. I prefer to deal with someone I can talk to and ask questions if needed. I also prefer to buy from a local Florida company too. So I say shop anywhere you feel comfortable but my recommendation is PoolsAboveGround.com.
