When it comes to selecting the right pool you may ask why fiberglass. I have done up a bit of a check list on why you might want to consider fiberglass;
- Many shapes, sizes and depths
- Soaker or flat bottom pools for those sports enthusiasts, deep ended sloped bottom pools
- Various colors and boarder tiles available
- Salt Compatible – Vinyl and Gunite show wear over time. Fiberglass is much more durable in a salt water environment
- Built-in benches & seating for entertaining and relaxing
- Built-in steps for easy access – no more white steps that stick out
- Wrap-around safety-walking ledges
- Eco Friendly – no liners going into landfill
- 17 Times stronger than concrete or vinyl liner pools
- Fiberglass has 22,000-psi tensile strength
- 35 year structural warranty
- Requires approximately 40% less chemicals
- Requires approximately 2/3 less maintenance than vinyl liner pools
- Requires approximately 3/4 less maintenance than concrete pools (Gunite)
- Reduces electrical pump usage by 40%
- Fiberglass pools are much warmer for swimming
- Built-in optional spill over spa feature
- Shell is impervious to algae (non-porous surface)
- Smooth gel coat finish – No skin abrasions, no scraped knees
- Fiberglass is inert & not subject to high swings in PH
- Pool built in factory-controlled conditions
- Much quicker installation 7 to 14 days
- You can skate on the frozen ice surface in winter
- Poor weather conditions not as much a factor for installing
- Can be installed much earlier and later in the year
- Yard not torn up for months on end
- No costly liners to replace; punctures, tears (raccoons, dogs)
- No acid washing (Gunite every 3-5 years)
- No re plastering ever (Gunite every 7-8 years)
- Flexible to expand & contract in Canadian climate
- You don’t have to empty a whole lot of water to winterize (Reduces spring start up costs)
- Affordable; Less than concrete and only a little more than vinyl pools up front
- Fiberglass Pools will save you over a 10 year period; compared to concrete and vinyl
