Fiberglass Pools
With the many choices you have for in ground pools, fiberglass pools are rising in popularity. The
appearance of a fiberglass pool is one of clear blue water, and very appealing to swim in. This
one-piece pool is practical if you do not have the time to be scrubbing algae off the walls of your
pool since it does not stick easily to the surface of fiberglass.
Fiberglass liners
You will find that the demand for fiberglass pool liners is also on the rise. Replacing your vinyl
liner with one that is made of fiberglass gives you all of the benefits of the fiberglass pool and it is
not as costly as buying the whole pool in its fiberglass form.
Since algae does not form on the walls of the pool, chemical additives are needed less. The
balance of chorine in the water stays more stable as algaecides tend to deplete active chlorine
resources.
Benefits of a fiberglass pool
Fiberglass pools are somewhat more costly, but owners of such pools swear that the added
expense is worth it. There is no need to treat the surface of a fiberglass pool as you would a vinyl
lined. No fungicides are necessary and in the long run though you have paid more for your
fiberglass pool, many upkeep expenses will offset this more expensive purchase.
The pool itself is a one piece design and it is capable of a large expansion under pressure. The
pools are driven to your home and after a hole is dug for the dimensions of your specific pool, it is
then lowered and any gaps in the earth are filled in with sand. The process from the digging to the
actual installing of the fiberglass pool is approximately three to five days.
As there is no liner to be fit, the pool can be immediately filled with water. Most will fill the pool with
a hose as they work on filling in any gaps between the wall of the pool and the ground. Though
the pool is flexible to an extent, you want your pool to be fit as snug as possible when first
installed. This leaves flexibility for climatic change considerations and water pressure.
Unlike a concrete in ground pool, these fiberglass pools require far less maintenance. A pool can
go a weeks without you having to scrub the edges of it for algae growth. Usually the smooth
surface has nothing that clings to it as a natural cause of water. People swimming with belts on or
going into the pool with shoes are the few things that could damage or scratch the pool’s surface.
Although not a likely occurrence, these types of incidences happen.
The surface of fiberglass pools are not porous, naturally occurring debris such as human skin,
hair, dirt, and other debris do not sink into its surface. This makes it much easier and more
convenient to take a pool vacuum and clean the bottom of the pool for any debris.
