Fiberglass Pools
Description
FIBERGLASS POOLS HAVE BEEN AROUND SINCE THE 1950'S.
The concept was actually taken from the idea of a fiberglass boat. Just like a high-quality fiberglass boat, a fiberglass pool generally has no lifetime limit. The first fiberglass pool ever constructed still exists today. The fact that it can survive for so long is just one of the benefits of owning one.
One of the main differences between fiberglass and other types is that a fiberglass pool is actually built entirely at the factory, not at the construction site. It arrives at the owner's home completely ready to be put directly into the ground once the hole is excavated.
At that point, it simply needs to be leveled and plumbed and then the decking or patio installed. This means that a fiberglass pool can be installed in a matter of a few days, while other types of pools take much longer to complete. That can be a useful trait for the owner who may want to supervise the entire installation and most people cannot take weeks off of work for such a project.
Unlike traditional poured concrete or vinyl pools, a fiberglass swimming pool is a prefabricated shell that is set in an excavated site. The inside of the fiberglass is sealed to produce a non porous, smooth surface that is very unlike concrete or vinyl. The best part is that the surface does not affect the chemistry of the water as it does not interact with it.
Cleaning a fiberglass swimming pool does not require any scrubbing; it also uses less harsh chemicals for cleaning. This is a boon for people who are allergic to chlorine and hate scrubbing. Concrete develops cracks and need re-plastering on a regular basis, vinyl liners have a tendency to tear over time requiring costly replacement. Fiberglass swimming pools are devoid of such maintenance, the material to which they are constructed does not develop cracks and is not affected by the vast swing in northern climate.
How can you not afford to buy a fiberglass pool?
Fiberglass pools are much less expense to maintain. Electricity usage is typically 25%-30% less. Maintenance chemicals are also cut by almost 70%. Add those figures up over the lifetime of a pool and you will quickly see what you will be saving on your pool budget every year.
Who wouldn't want to save time and money?
Concrete or Gunite pools can be a nightmare with fluctuating temperatures and seasonal stresses. Costly acid washing and plaster repair turns a beautiful pool into a money pit over time.
Vinyl lined pools need regular replacement of their vinyl liner. What initially seemed like an inexpensive choice has become a regular cost every few years with no end in sight.
Fiberglass is the natural choice for all seasons and all climates. Using a composite flexible material that adapts to the changing seasons, fiberglass construction is far superior.
Algae
Fiberglass pools inhibit the growth of algae far better than concrete and vinyl. Less algae growth equals less time cleaning and more time enjoying your pool.
Installation times
Concrete pools can take months to install. Lots of different workers are needed which only creates headaches when one contractor miscommunicates an important issue that wreaks havoc on your pool project.
Fiberglass constructed pools use fewer contractors and are easier to install. Start enjoying your pool faster with less maintenance and cost over the lifetime of your pool. It's a pretty simple choice when presented with the facts.
