Outdoor Fibreglass swimming pools

Advantages of fibreglass for swimming pool construction:

Over the lifetime of your fibreglass pool the likelihood of you needing to drain it is minimal. However with a PVC liner pool you will need to replace the liner every 5 to 7 years. Similarly, a concrete pool will need to be regularly drained and acid washed. And a tiled pool has the disadvantage of eventually needing regrouting. The tiling grout will only withstand chlorine immersion for so long before its erosion will lead to your pool leaking. So, in terms of convenience and true costs a fibreglass lined pool wins out in the long haul. Adds strength to your pool's construction. Fibreglass has its own flexible strength. That's why it's used in aircraft and yacht construction. So fibreglass will certainly add stability and strength to your swimming pool's structure. This added bonus would help reduce or prevent problems caused by seasonal earth movements and invasive root growth. Tiled or coated concrete pools and PVC liner pools don't have this additional strength built in. Compatible with all types of pool water treatment systems. Any standard or not so standard water treatment system you have installed or plan to have will work well with a fibreglass liner; including chlorine, salt chlorinator, fresh water and ozone systems. Seamless and safely smooth surface. The top gel coat of a fibreglass liner produces a hardwearing, smooth, abrasion safe finish. You don't have to put up with grazed and sore limbs and feet that are often suffered with tiled pools. Stain resistant. The non-porous top surface of fibreglass means you won't have the 'tide marks' that plague PVC liner pools. When swimmers sensibly use sun tan and uv barrier creams and lotions it will eventually lead to unsightly hard to get rid of stains at the water levels of PVC liner pools. So for a great tan and great looking pool go for fibrglass every time! Lower running costs: A fibreglass pool's smooth and non-porous surface resists algae far better than tiles. That amounts to less dosage of algaecide and chlorine which is kinder to your hair, swim suits and the environment. The chemically inert nature of fibreglass's outer layer will make management of your pool's water chemical balance easier and less costly. On the other hand, concrete pools leach alkaline and need regular dosing of acid so the chlorine can be effective. Fiberglass has good thermal insulation properties; helping to cut your heating costs Higher life expectancy, lowest refurbishment and maintenance costs.
