How It Works

How It Works

From SIP panel technology to your first swim - see why this is the future of pool construction.

The Technology

Four Layers. Zero Compromise.

Each SIP panel is a precision-engineered sandwich of materials, each layer serving a specific structural or thermal purpose. The result is a pool wall that's stronger, lighter, and more energy-efficient than anything steel can offer.

1

Outer Panel Skin

The exterior skin provides structural rigidity and complete corrosion resistance. Panel skin material can vary by application - but will never rust, even in salt water systems.

2

Insulated Foam Core

3" thick closed-cell insulated foam core delivers R-16 insulation, dramatically reducing heat loss through pool walls and cutting energy costs by up to 30% compared to uninsulated steel. Core material and thickness can vary by application.

3

Inner Panel Skin

A second panel skin creates a symmetrical sandwich structure. Together, the layers form 6ft modular panels that behave like a reinforced structural tank - freestanding without backfill.

4

Patent-Pending Interlock System

Continuous embedded steel reinforcement connects panels via our patent-pending interlock connectors, forming the Modular Closed Ring (MCR) - a closed-loop structural system that carries loads through tension and compression.

Modular Closed Ring (MCR) System

The MCR structural system carries loads through tension and compression - not bending. Panels connect into a unified structural tank that's self-supporting, lightweight, and performant. Patent pending.

Why It Matters

Built Different. Built Better.

Modular Closed Ring System

Patent-pending MCR construction carries loads through tension and compression - not bending - creating a unified structural tank that's stronger than traditional methods.

R-16 Insulation

3" thick structural insulated panels with closed-cell foam core retain heat far better than steel or concrete, cutting energy costs significantly.

Non-Corrosive

Panel skins will never rust, corrode, or degrade - even in salt water systems. The first true innovation in vinyl liner pools in 50+ years.

Assembles in About 4 Hours

Patent-pending interlock connectors let 6ft modular panels click together rapidly. No crane, no slab, no A-frames required. Ships on a standard pallet.

DIY-Friendly

Approx. 110 lbs per panel - no crane or specialized labor required. Install above ground, in-ground, or semi-inground - your yard, your choice.

Custom Liner Compatible

Choose from dozens of premium vinyl liner patterns to match your backyard aesthetic.

Installation Timeline

Six Steps to Your Dream Pool

Our streamlined process gets you from inquiry to enjoying your new pool in a fraction of the time traditional pool construction takes.

1

Discovery Call

30 min call

We assess your yard, discuss pool sizes, and answer all your questions about SIP panel technology.

2

Site Preparation

1–2 days

Your crew excavates the pool area and prepares a compacted stone base for the panel foundation.

3

Panel Delivery

Standard shipping

3" thick SIP panels arrive flat-packed on a standard pallet. No crane or oversized loads needed - fits on a regular truck.

4

MCR Panel Assembly

~4 hours

6ft modular panels connect via our patent-pending interlock system, forming a freestanding Modular Closed Ring structure in about 4 hours. No specialized labor required.

5

Plumbing & Equipment

1–2 days

Pool pump, filter, heater, and all plumbing are connected. Optional swim jets and lighting installed.

6

Liner & Fill

1 day

Custom vinyl liner is fitted, pool is filled, water chemistry balanced, and you're ready to swim.

Total Installation Time

1 Week

From excavation to swimming (not including patio work or other site improvements)

Compared to 6–12 weeks for a traditional concrete or fiberglass pool

We Handle Everything

In select markets, we handle everything from permit applications to final water chemistry balancing.

SIP panels arrive pre-cut and flat-packed, meaning no oversized loads or crane access required. They fit through standard yard gates and tight side-yard access points.

Each panel weighs approx. 110 lbs, so a small crew can assemble your entire pool shell in about 4 hours without heavy equipment.
