John Dumer - DIY Viking Pool Installation

Most people when looking to purchase a pool, contact a pool builder to install it for them. Sometimes a homeowner has the experience to install the pool themselves. One such family is the Dumers .The decision to purchase a swimming pool is usually a big enough process by itself – deciding on what type of pool, all the options, and then finding a contractor to install it. When Baltimore, Maryland homeowner, John Dumer’s wife and daughter told him they wanted a swimming pool he decided to become the ultimate weekend-warrior. From his days in college as a pool manager, John knew he didn’t have the spare time to build a gunite pool and a vinyl liner pool was not appealing to him. After doing some research to explore other options, he discovered fiberglass pools.

“I liked the fact that the fiberglass pools were relatively easy to install and not a high-maintenance pool,” said Dumer. John also knew that if he was going to get a pool he was going to do it right. He wanted to make sure that he designed a pool that he and his family could live with for the rest of their lives.

When asked why he decided to purchase a fiberglass pool, John responded, “For years when I was going to college I was a pool manager and we dealt with gunite. Liner was not appealing and gunite was extremely high maintenance with the acid washing. My wife and daughter wanted a pool but couldn’t put the time into gunite. I explored other options and I found fiberglass. I didn’t want bright white because we live in the woods and wanted a more natural look. We looked around and found Viking Pools on the web. The sapphire color was the best choice because it shimmers in the sunlight.” John and his wife decided on the Rockport design. After the concrete was ordered, John dug the hole and then the pool arrived. Then the real work began.

The most challenging aspect of the project for John was trying to visualize the end result. John’s wife and kids browsed through magazines and cut out ideas and pasted to a poster board for ideas.

Everything was all very doable. The best way to do the rock façade was to search the internet for faux rocks. John contacted companies that do this on a large scale. He received training DVDs and another site tape demonstrated two different ways to make concrete rocks.

Between the two methods John picked the one that worked best. Forms were used to imprint the rocks. He purchased 4 different designs of latex mats.  John said it was the best money he ever spent. Then he contacted a local concrete company that poured the concrete in 8 yard increments. Mats to stamp the pool deck were also purchased by John.

The finishing touches were added including over 300+ shrubs to accent the pool environment. The landscaping was the key to completing the overall backyard get-a-way feeling. A backyard compliments your home and your lifestyle. It’s more than a swimming pool. It’s a natural setting. The Dumer’s backyard looks like the pool just appeared between the rocks and trees. They now have a perfect place to relax and absorb nature without leaving home.

Quick, Easy, and Painless Installation

Want to spice up your back yard but don’t want it destroyed for weeks or months while the work is in progress? With the preassembled nature of a fiberglass pool you can have your pool installed in your backyard in as little as 3-5 days, not the weeks or even months that is takes to install a vinyl liner or concrete pool.

Viking Pools is the industry leader in fiberglass pools. We have an array of pools designs to choose from; rectangle, kidney, classic, freeform, lap pools, spas,  custom pools , and our line of HydroZone exercise pools. We can even create custom fiberglass pools to suit most any application.

Once you have found a local Viking Pools dealer and 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!

After you pool is installed you can start planning the rest of your backward. With the help of Extended Living Spaces you can began to create your personal oasis in your very own back yard with anything from furniture to gazebos.
