Excavation and Foundation #
The excavation must match the pool footprint, required clearances, and elevation plan. For fiberglass pools, foundation preparation is critical: geotextile fabric and clear stone create a stable base, and the shell must be set level before backfilling proceeds.
The excavation typically includes extra space for the skimmer and dewatering well. Roots, stumps, rocks, unsuitable soil, and groundwater conditions can affect the day.
Placement Priorities #
- Confirm the shell position and measurements before unhooking.
- Backfill corners first and verify level as water and stone are added.
- Use clear stone for foundation and backfill as specified.
- Keep heavy machinery away from pool walls during delicate backfill stages.
When to Contact Okeanos #
Contact Okeanos before making major changes to water level, equipment configuration, winterization steps, site drainage, or installation scope. The right answer can depend on the exact model, equipment package, property conditions, and contract scope.
Keep photos, service notes, water test records, manuals, warranty documents, and quote paperwork together so the support team can review the situation quickly.
