Viking Caribbean Fiberglass Pool installation - 2012

This video is from 2012. Check out our latest Pools Inc installation at our new house (2020).    • Latham Corinthian 16 fiberglass pool ...  

We live in Elkhorn, Nebraska and had a one acre heavily treed lot. Over the last five years, mother nature took our beautiful elm trees (Dutch elm disease). A pool had been considered in the past, but we werent going to cut down trees for it. Thanks Mother Nature (I guess!)

The decision to put in a FIBERGLASS pool came after much research into each type of inground pool available - concrete, liner, or fiberglass. Each has its pros and cons. Fiberglass met all of our long term and short term needs.

Surprisingly, for Nebraska, there were many pool builders to choose from. After thoroughly looking at each website, online reviews, and especially their Better Business Bureau reviews, we decided to go with Pools Inc in Omaha. Not only do they specialize in fiberglass pools, the owner had worked as an installer for another pool company before he opened his own business. Experience. INSTALLATION experience. That is the key to a trouble-free pool. All fiberglass pool brands have awesome warranties, so, the problems that could arise are mostly likely issues that could can been avoided during installation.

We look forward to having family, friends, neighbors, and their dogs are welcome to come over and enjoy the pool! I hope we also get an occasional duck or goose. Hopefully no snakes! I could do without the giant wolf spiders that get stuck in filter basket. I guess cleaning that out will always be Bob's job.

The pool manufacturer we chose is Viking and the shape we chose is a freeform design called the Caribbean. You can check out their website - http://www.vikingpools.net Some extra features that we went with are a saline filtration systems, we opted for a heater so that we can enjoy the pool on warm days in April, May, and October. We upgraded the color to "Persian" (it has some glitter in it.) We also added a cascade waterfall and four jets (one on each corner.) We also added extra concrete all around (the pool package comes with 4' all around) and had it stained and texture stamped.
