The most frightening part of installing a swimming pool

What happens here

A second worker kneels inside the new fiberglass pool, positioned where the plumbing connection will be made. They use a cordless drill, specifically a DeWalt brand, equipped with a green-colored hole saw attachment. The worker applies steady pressure to the drill, creating a circular cut through the fiberglass wall. As the hole saw penetrates, fiberglass dust and shavings are generated. The drilling is done from the inside of the pool wall.

Goal: Create a clean, circular opening for plumbing in the pool wall.

Tools and materials

  • Cordless Drill DeWalt — Powering the hole saw to cut through the fiberglass
  • Dust Mask — Preventing inhalation of fiberglass particles
  • Fiberglass Pool — The surface being drilled into for plumbing access
  • Hole Saw — Creating a clean, circular cut in the fiberglass for plumbing
  • Safety Glasses — Protecting eyes from fiberglass dust and debris
