This pool does tricks!

Ever wonder how those beautiful lakeshore houses create the backyard of their dreams, pool included? In this unique story for a homeowner in Chapin, South Carolina, we witness the delivery and installation of their Composite Pool from Griffin Pools and Spas.

Located at Lake Murry, these homeowners faced a bit of a dilemma when building the backyard of their dreams. Their lake shore home is nestled in a wooded area, leaving it impossible for their Composite Pool to be delivered by truck. Construction Forman, Tim Assamany worked with the homeowner on ways to deliver the pool.

“This is not a common way that we would deliver a pool, but it was the only way to get the pool to the homeowner’s backyard,” says Tim. “We had never done it before, so there were concerns.” The pool was dropped off at Eptings Landing, a loading and unloading site for boats, and other aquatic equipment. The pool shell was then meet by a pontoon boat, where it was carefully attached with rope to be pulled.

“The concern with floating the pool was that we needed to keep it in calm waters,” explains Tim, “It was important to keep the pool level, and because of the pool buoyancy on the water, it didn’t cause much of a problem.” The pool was then floated a half a mile to the homeowner’s personal dock, where it was then attached to a crane to be lifted from the water.

“After we got the pool on land, it was a quick installation process. It took a day to get the pool delivered, floated and in the ground,” explains Tim. “The homeowners showed some concern with this delivery process, but were relieved once the pool was in the ground.”

Griffin Pools and Spas located in Lexington, SC, prove with this pool installation that they are willing to go the distance to satisfy any homeowner. To view more of their backyard creations, visit their website, griffinpoolsandspas.com.

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!
