Earth Friendly


Due to the non-porous finish on a Composite Pool, fewer chemicals are needed because algae is less prone to attach to smoother surfaces. Additionally, less cleaning will have to be performed using automatic pool cleaners saving electricity.

When automatic pool cleaners are used, the time it takes to clean the pool will be reduced saving additional energy. As Composite fiberglass pools do not rely on steel panels or steel mesh/rebar for structure, they do not have the potential to leech chemicals and rust back into the groundwater as a more conventional constructed pool would. Fiberglass pools in general act as a natural insulator.

Your filter and heater will potentially run less than equipment on a vinyl/gunite pool. Depending on the climate and size of the pool, a homeowner can save up to $225.00 per month on their pool maintenance with our pools versus other types of pools (vinyl/gunite).

With more and more people concerned about our environment, our Eco-Friendly pools are already the pool of tomorrow. Not only do our pools use less chemicals and energy, our pools never need to be re-plastered, nor do they have a liner to replace -- thus resulting in less waste in our landfills.

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!

Why a Composite Pool is Eco-Friendly

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.
