Turn on the TV or open a magazine and you can't help but find a company marketing their product as "eco-friendly". We understand how important it is to provide a product that impacts the environment as little as possible. Compared to the two other types of swimming pools (vinyl liner and gunite), composite pools are definately the most environmentally conscious.
For starters the surface of a composite pool is smoother (non-porous), which means that algae is less prone to become attached to it. Because of this you will use fewer chemicals to keep your pool clean. Additionally, when you use an automatic pool cleaner, the time it takes to clean your pool will be drastically reduced.
Composite pools also act as a natural insulator, which means less gas and/or electric to keep it heated, when compared to a vinyl liner or gunite pool. Depending on the climate and the size of your pool, you could save up to $225 per month on pool maintenance with a composite pool versus other types of pools.
Another factor that makes a composite pool more eco-friendly is the fact that they do not have steel panels or steel mesh/rebar for their structure. Our pools are installed using sand, which means they do not have the potential to leech chemicals and rust back into the groundwater. Our pools also never need to be re-plastered like a gunite pool and there is no liner to replace, which means that there is no unnecessary waste in our landfills.
