1. Technical Visit and Site Preparation

Before installation begins, the site is evaluated, measurements are confirmed, access is verified, and the area is prepared for delivery. Careful planning is the foundation of a successful installation.

2. Excavation and base preparation

After the area is marked, excavation is completed according to the dimensions of the selected model. The bottom is then leveled and the support base is prepared, ensuring proper support for the pool and long-term installation stability.

3. Pool positioning

The pool is set on the prepared base and adjusted for correct positioning and leveling. Before backfilling and water fill begin, the technical team completes all checks needed to confirm the pool is properly placed and ready for the next step.

4. Leveling and Backfilling

After positioning, side backfill begins using a traditional sand-and-cement mix or fine gravel, according to Fiber technical standards.

During this stage, the crew pays special attention to fully filling under benches, steps, tanning ledges, and spas, ensuring uniform support throughout the structure and eliminating voids. That support is essential so the pool performs as designed, distributing loads properly throughout its service life.

Backfill is done gradually and at the same time as the pool is filled with water, balancing internal and external pressures throughout installation.

5. Pool Plumbing Installation

In this stage, the pool’s plumbing connections are completed — including drains, returns, suction, and skimmer — according to the Fiber technical design and applicable standards for pool circulation and filtration systems.

Each fitting is installed in the position defined by the project, ensuring hydraulic performance, easy maintenance, and safe system operation.

The Fiber hydraulic design promotes water circulation throughout the entire pool, moving flow from end to end and reducing low-circulation areas. That improves filtration efficiency, better distributes treatment products, and helps keep water healthier for daily use.

6. Simultaneous filling and compaction

After plumbing is complete, filling the pool with water and side backfilling with sand-and-cement mix or fine gravel are done together, gradually.

This procedure keeps internal and external pressures balanced, allowing the structure to perform as designed throughout installation.

The crew continuously monitors water level and side backfill so both advance together until the pool is fully stabilized.

7. Final Grading and Finish Preparation

With the pool stabilized and fully supported, a sub-base is prepared to receive the final surface — stone, decking, pavers, or another finish planned in the project. This stage sets proper drainage around the pool and protects the full installation structure.

After pool installation is complete, final surround finishing should be done as soon as possible. The finished surface helps keep rainwater and pool use from shifting support material, preserving structural stability.

Frequently Asked Questions Installation

Everything you need to know about installing a Granita™ Fiber pool.

Installation is typically completed within a few days, depending on site conditions, the selected model, and finishing work around the pool.

No. Because the pool arrives factory-ready, the job is much faster and cleaner than building a concrete pool.

After installation and surround finishing are complete, use can begin according to the authorized dealer’s guidance.

Yes. The base is prepared to properly distribute loads and provide stability throughout the pool’s service life.

In most cases, yes. Every project includes a technical visit to evaluate soil, access, and specific installation conditions.

This keeps internal and external pressures balanced during installation and helps preserve the pool’s structural shape.

Backfill may use a traditional sand-and-cement mix or fine gravel, according to Fiber technical standards.

These areas need full support to distribute structural loads correctly and ensure the pool performs as designed.

No. Like any structure of this type, it depends on the correct lateral and bottom support defined in the installation design.

Yes. All Fiber hydraulic designs follow applicable technical standards and are developed for safety, efficient circulation, and easy maintenance.

The hydraulic design promotes better water circulation throughout the pool and reduces low-circulation areas.

Installation is performed by authorized Fiber dealers and trained crews, following the manufacturer’s technical procedures.

Final finishing should be completed as soon as possible after installation to protect the support structure and prevent washout or shifting of backfill material.

It is not recommended. The finish protects the support structure and is part of the complete installation process.

All procedures follow Fiber’s official technical manuals, available to authorized dealers and professionals responsible for installation.
