Cardinal realizes that customers are making a sizeable investment when they decide to install a backyard pool. Cardinal and Propools does their utmost to ensure that the final result is a beautiful and long-lasting swimming pool. The pool system is modular, meaning that each kit is comprised of different panels, which when bolted together give the desired shape and size, exactly to specifications. Cardinal is the only manufacturer that uses total automation in the fabrication of their panels. Automation assures consistent high quality, precision alignment, and unmatched accuracy. Cardinal is a “just in time” manufacturer, which means we do not stock our panels. They are made to order, and production is non-stop.

 

Cardinal is committed to staying a dynamic and innovative leader in the industry by continually reinvesting in the business, in people and technology to foster growth continual high quality and exceptional service. Since Cardinal’s inception, they have always operated with the principles of providing the end users with a high-quality product paired with exceptional customer service.

Why? The reasons are many:

• Time trusted: Cardinal Liners has been making liners for 47 years, with a staff that has a combined 150 years of experience!
• Over 100 years combined experience in our design department goes into every Cardinal Pool Liner. In our complete vinyl liner plant, swimming pool liners are carefully fabricated to meet your precise pool dimensions. Cardinal Liners does not make “parachute” style liners that fit a wide variety of pools! We “Custom Fit” each liner order to protect your investment. An over-stretched liner will not last! We are full time vinyl fabricators; it’s our only business.
• Protected Vinyl: All Cardinal Liner vinyl patterns are covered with a protective coating for durability and lasting beauty.
• Quality begins with the vinyl: Industry Standard virgin vinyl is offered to meet your design requirements.
  
• Freeze resistant: Cardinal Liners comply with the industry standard for sub-zero "cold crack" durability.
• Vulcanized assembly: Cardinal uses a dielectric heat-sealing process that literally joins the vinyl into one air-tight, and water-tight piece that is stronger than the original material!
• Outstanding strength: Cardinal Liner engineering, and the complete vulcanized process used to secure the weld, contribute to the amazing strength of our products.
• Lap welded: All Cardinal liners are lap welded for superior strength. Other types of welds are often not as strong and may result in unsightly seams. Cardinal overlaps the vinyl, then vulcanizes it, for a smooth, strong, beautiful surface.
• Easy care liners: The smooth vinyl surface has no rough or textured surfaces, making it easy to maintain. Simply wipe the vinyl surface with a soft cloth or sponge as needed. Each liner is formulated with ultraviolet inhibitors and anti-bacterial agents. With proper maintenance, your liner should give you many years of trouble-free service.
• Fast delivery: When you need a liner, chances are you need it in a hurry. Cardinal Liners is geared to meet these needs. In many cases, we have delivered our products, even to our west coast customers, in record time. Our Express Service can get a liner moving to your job site fast!
• Warranty protection: Cardinal liners protects each in-ground pool liner with a 25 year pro-rated warranty.
• Quality control is paramount at Cardinal, from initial design through final inspections before shipment.

The Cardinal pools come with a Quaker white thermoplastic step.  Quaker is a high quality step also manufactured by Cardinal Systems Inc.  They have innovate "step legs" which lock down in place ensuring the step is rigid and securely elevated from the top step to the bottom.

All-plastic channels are permanently bonded to the underside of each step tread, providing controlled flexibility. These patented, heavy-duty, extra-wide channels mean optimum strength while allowing the stairs enough flexibility to withstand freezing and thawing.

The entire Lock Down Bleacher System is preassembled at the factory so there are no lost nuts or bolts. Stair support posts simply snap down and lock into place. The molded bottom shoes easily flip to the horizontal position and the stair is ready for installation. Precision-engineered leveling support posts and bottom shoes are permanently hinged at the factory to the Ridg-A-Dized support channel, strategically located under each tread.

Leveling and support posts, along with the support shoes, are pre-drilled for rebars. Install rebar through the holes, cover with concrete and the stair is ready for final leveling before concrete hardens. No blocks, no nuts or bolts, no make-shift leveling/support methods, no costly labor or materials.

Cardinal Fold-Over turnbuckles make for an easy installation of the wall supports. The turnbuckles are easy to use and allow the wall to be trimmed inward or outward to plumb the wall. No other pool system has the ability to fine tune the walls in this fashion.

Do you install your own appliances? Is your favorite weekend activity renovating your own home? If you have answered yes to any of these questions, chances are very good that you can install your own pool. With you, the homeowner, in mind, we have designed a line of pools that you can install yourself, using our 50+ years of pool manufacturing experience. The result will be a backyard paradise that you will be able to proudly look at and say - "I did that".

 

Installation of the inground pool you’re interested in is a basic and straight forward construction process. No specialized skill sets are needed to complete the backyard transformation of a life time. If you are handy (or have people help that are) and can follow instructions, then this project is for you.

 

We’ve been selling these pools for over 20 years and a few years ago we stopped doing the actual installation so we could better focus on the Do-It-Yourself process. When any of our inground pools are purchased you will be contacted so we can start and continue a conversation through the entire installation process. You’ll have 24x7 access to an experienced in-house builder who can answer any questions you or your builder may have.

If you don’t feel you’re up to this project you should be able to find others to complete it for you. You’ve a few options. You can either act as a general contractor and hire sub-contractors to do the various tasks or you can hire one company and have them do all of it. Again, because the construction process is generic and straight forward; finding an installer shouldn’t be that difficult. Here are some types of companies to look at, though it’s not a complete list.
