Benefits of a Fiberglass Pool
- When purchasing a pool, the options are seemingly limitless. Pools can be of the in-ground and above-ground variety, and they are also constructed from different materials. These include vinyl-liner, concrete and fiberglass, with the latter providing a number of benefits.
- While more expensive than most concrete pools, fiberglass pools tend to require fewer chemicals to clean than concrete varieties, which can result in a higher return on investment over the long term. Plus, with fiberglass, pool owners need not worry about replastering or placing a new vinyl liner on a pool, both of which can prove costly.
In addition, as opposed to the plaster found in most concrete pools, fiberglass doesn't change the chemistry of the water, which means pools owners can use less acid over the pool's life and save money. With a smooth surface, fiberglass pools are also a relative snap to clean via brushing. - Those living in areas where fault lines reside, such as California, know all too well the damage earthquakes can cause to homes and pools. Fortunately, fiberglass is shock absorbent and can flex up to two feet. This could save pool owners thousands of dollars in the event of an earthquake.
- Fiberglass pools take only about two weeks to build, and once the hole in a yard is dug and prepped, fiberglass pools are delivered/installed in one convenient piece. This is ideal for those who want to get in their new pool as soon as possible.
