Fiberglass Pool Myth #4

MYTH #4:
Fiberglass pools pop out of the ground.

TRUTH:
A Composite fiberglass pools will never pop out of the ground if it is properly installed. This is because our fiberglass pools should always be filled with water and the surrounding concrete engulfs the pool’s outer lip, making it impossible for the pool to move unless the concrete moves with it. If any type of pool is installed in an area with a high water table, it is the responsibility of the builder to properly install and safeguard the pool against possible damage due to the high ground water whether it is a fiberglass, vinyl lined or concrete pool.

Fiberglass Pool Myth #3


MYTH #3:
Fiberglass Pools are much more expensive than vinyl liner pools.

TRUTH:
Typically, if someone is comparing a Composite fiberglasspool to a liner pools, apples to apples, features to features, they will find that a Composite Pool  unit typically runs $5,000-$10,000 more initially, but there are two ways of figuring out the price; the initial price and the initial price plus added expenses of the pool over the course of a lifetime. For example, let’s say your spend $25,000 initially for a vinyl-liner pool. Considering liners will typically late 8 years on average, which can vary depending on a number of factors, before it has to be replaces, and the average cost of a liner replacement is usually between $3,000-$5,000. A vinyl-lined pool owner can spend $8,000-$12,000 on liner replacements alone during the first 20 years. The same principle applies to concrete pools that have to be replastered, every 8 to 12 years, with an average cost of well over $5,000. This is one great advantage of a fiberglass pool. There are almost never large expenses down the road for a homeowner to worry about. When a potential pool buyer figured in the cost of these long-term repairs/expenses, as well as the year to year savings on chemicals, it is no wonder why so many customers are willing to pay more initially for a CompositePool in order to pay less and have less headache in the long run.

Fiberglass Pool Myth #2

MYTH #2:
Fiberglass pools look cheap.

TRUTH:
If someone had stated this many years ago, we might have to agree with them. Times have changed in the fiberglass pool industry, especially with the introduction of pool colors other than classic blue or white; such as our Gemstone Finishes & Diamond Series. Also now you can add waterline and inlayed ceramic tile, mosaic inlayed tile, fiber-optic or LED lighting, cascades, streams, and much more! With so many options to choose from, home of all value ranges can easily find a Composite fiberglass pool that corresponds aesthetically with their appearance. Composite Pools are beautiful and permanent looking! This is why customers of all economic classes are going with the Composite Pool fiberglass advantage.

Fiberglass Pool Myth #1

MYTH:
Fiberglass pools only work in warm climates.

TRUTH:
It is an accepted fact in the swimming pool industry that fiberglass has the ability to “flex” due to its incredible tensile strength, much more so than any other type of pool (i.e. concrete). When someone is concerned about freeze conditions having an adverse effect on fiberglass, they are forgetting that when the water in the pool freezes is expands in an upward direction which has no barriers. The simple fact is that Composite Pools has never had a customer sustain any damage to the fiberglass shell due to freezing weather conditions.
