Over 40 Years of Fiberglass Excellence

Central Pools the oldest Fiberglass pool builder in the Baton Rouge and surrounding area. We have been installing pools since 1985 and currently install Imagine Pools and Trilogy Pools. Early on Neil Hebert, President of Central Pools recognized the value and the ease of owning a fiberglass and stopped installing other types of pools to focus on fiberglass. With over 35 years installing fiberglass pools you can only imagine the things that we have experienced, you name it and we
have probably seen or done it, including floating a pool down the Diversion Canal.

From First Splash to Everyday Care

It is not just the length of time that we have been installing pools that sets us apart but the way that we do things. Central Pools believes that it benefits our clients the most by having a retail store, service and maintenance department to service you after the sale of your swimming pool. You see, we don’t want to just sell you a pool and say good luck figuring things out in the future, we want to make sure that you and your family are always swimming in healthy pool water.

Our Pools Include

Quality Filtration System

Pentair Cartridge filter with a 1 hp pump. We only use 2” hard PVC to plumb our pools. 2” PVC allows for less restriction on the pump thereby saving money and the life of your pool pump.
Although it is easier to work with, we do not use flexible PVC on our pools because they have a history in our area of being attacked underground by termites. Once this happens it will create a leak that could create costly repairs down the line.

Multiple Benefits & Enhancements

Installing new pool equipment can help your pool function better while improving its appearance. With help from Central Pools, consider additional equipment features for your pool:

Cement Decking
Our pools come with 5’ of broom finish decking around the pool. This will follow the contour of the pool. Some people will choose to only pour 3’ on one side and move the remaining cement for a patio area or we have some clients that choose to add more cement. It is important to consider that if you are adding pool deck to meet up to existing cement like a patio, you will need to make sure that water will drain and you may need deck drain at an additional charge to facilitate drainage.
Automatic Pool Cleaner
To make owning a pool a little easier we include a Dolphin robotic pool cleaner to keep debris out of your pool.
Maintenance Kit
Although you have the above listed Dolphin it is also necessary to have manual maintenance equipment to clean your pool. As with your home, if you have a Roomba, it is inevitable that you will still need to sweep some areas of the home, this is the same with your swimming pool.
Pool Lights
Illuminate your pool at night to improve its appearance and boost safety significantly. New pool lights help swimmers avoid obstacles and see better, providing a more enjoyable swimming experience.
Ceramic Tiles
Swimming pool tile completes the look of the pool and prevents any fading where the pool shell is exposed to the daily sunlight. We offer a wide range of waterline ceramic tile to fit your decor and invite you to come into our showroom to make your selection.

Built With Integrity

Our Construction Process

To help you prepare for what to expect during the construction process we have outlined it into three different phases. These three phases of swimming pool installation are listed below.

Phase 1:

This is where the excitement starts and all of the planning and dreaming is coming true. In this week we will bring in tractors and sand for installation. The hole is dug, the pool installed, backfilled, lumbed and water added to the pool. Your equipment is plumbed and ready for electrical hook ups.

Phase 2:

The Electrician will come to do all of the necessary electric work. Once the pool has power we let it circulate for about a week to ensure all plumbing connections are good as well as the ground around
the pool settling.

Phase 3:

The excitement is back as we form and pour your pool deck. The tile is installed, we balance the water and do a final clean up. Pool school follows this and then you are ready to jump in and enjoy your paradise.

Please note that it has been our experience that it does not benefit you or us to rush the pool installation process. Yes, part of the attraction of fiberglass pools is the fact that they can be finished quicker than other pools but that does not necessarily mean that it should be rushed. There are times that the weather is nice but we are waiting for an inspection, for the dirt to settle, or waiting for your yard to dry so that we can pour your deck on solid ground. In Louisiana we can guarantee that your cement will crack but we do all that we can to make sure that your ground is ready to pour on.

Payments

Our payment terms are set up in a fair way to both you as the homeowner as well as ourselves. Please be cautious that you are not giving too much money to a contractor before any work is done on the jobsite. Our payments are as follows:

10% deposit holds your spot and orders your pool shell
40% once we have completed the digging of the pool hole
40% once the pool shell is placed in the ground
10% plus any additions is due upon completion
