Browse Forums Pools & Spas 1 Dec 15, 2011 5:23 pm We are part-way through installation of a fibreglass pool. The shell went in in late September, and nearly 3 months later the sand backfilling has not yet been completed. About 4 weeks ago, after hassling them multiple times, we finally got them to come out and part-back fill the pool and they then said to fill the pool up to the level of the lights with water and that they would be back 2 days later to complete the backfilling and we should then fill the pool up to the top. Despite hassling the contractor multiple times again, and him promising three separate times to come and being a no-show each time, the pool is still part-filled with water and only part-backfilled and I am just wondering whether there is any risk to the fibreglass shell in having it in this state for so long? I guess I don't have the freedom to mention the pool company's name here, but needless to say I am NOT impressed. Re: pool installation half complete - any risk to pool integ 2Dec 15, 2011 8:52 pm yes there are all sorts of issues leaving it half done. if you have water at a level greater than the backfill, the water will be putting pressure on the side walls. if it rains water will get into all the fill at the bottom on the pool and risk lifting, collapse of the side of the dig the list goes on. take lots of pictures. We had a pool installed last year and the installer we got was slack and now we are having heaps of issues the walls are buldging, the drains dont work the list goes on. Installer is being an difficult, so the pool manufacturer is trying to help us find someone to fix it, and I guess we will be going to VCAT with the installer.
