The Pro’s of a Composite Pool

When purchasing a pool, it’s important to look at the purchase from all angles. You have to look past the planning process, the installation process, and the always fun, design process. Purchasing a pool is an investment in your home, your health and your life. The cost of owning a pool is something to take into consideration, and this means looking at the full picture, or life of your pool.


Once again, Composite Pools has your back! We have taken the three top selling pools- fiberglass, gunite (concrete) and liner pools and laid out a rather interesting comparison.


Let’s talk installation time. Usually when you decide to purchase a pool, you are quite excited for the new addition and want to be swimming in no time! With a Composite fiberglass pool, you will find that our installation process can be done in as few as three days! With a gunite pool, the installation process can take as long as 8 weeks, (that’s two months)! Although it doesn’t take as long to install a vinyl liner pool there are many mishaps that could happen, such as a tear in the liner during installation, which could prolong the process!


With a fiberglass and gunite pool, we are talking permanent home improvement, whereas a vinyl liner pool is considered temporary. Next on our minds, staying ecofriendly! A fiberglass pool requires fewer chemicals, and maintenance. A gunite pool has to be re-plastered from time to time, which adds to our landfills. As do a vinyl liner pool, where the liner, over time, has to be replaced and the chemicals used to constantly clean this pool only pollute the earth.


Lastly, let’s talk about cost over 10 years. Maintenance cost for a Composite Pools fiberglass pool is $4,200.00. Let’s compare that to a whopping $16,950.00 for a gunite pool and a $11,500.00 for a vinyl liner pool!


After these comparisons, it’s easy to see which product is best. Not only is a Composite Pool going to save you money over time in maintenance, but is cost effective as an investment, and who can deny the beauty a Composite Pool will bring to your backyard!
