In February 2018, River Pools had the opportunity to build a fiberglass pool for former Vice President Joe Biden. This was in Delaware, though—outside the River Pools installation area. A problem? Not at all. Enter one of our nationwide dealers, Clean Cut Pavers and Pools. River Pools manufactured the G36 fiberglass pool shell and transported it to the dealer, who installed it in the Bidens' backyard. Some of the River Pools family went out that week to watch the installation and to highlight this dealer, their employees, and their good work. (Others of us—that is, me, myself, and I—were left at the office. I was kind of sad.)

When we first began installing fiberglass pools in the early 2000s we encountered our share of problems. Despite the fact that we fixed each one and made sure every customer was happy, we were still left asking the question: What went wrong? Many of these issues were leaks that developed in the plumbing of the pool or in the fittings that the plumbing was connected to. In the following video we explain our process, called The River Pools Way, that we developed specifically to eliminate these plumbing problems along with the other challenges associated with fiberglass pool installations.

What is The River Pools Way? Valid question, so here's the thing: an inground pool is a huge investment. And unlike a new car that you could simply return if things go awry, once a pool is in your backyard...it's your baby. That makes both the quality of the pool and the manner in which it is installed extremely important.
