swimming pool can be installed in a matter of days. Unlike concrete pools, fiberglass pools can be installed during cold weather.

much, so you will have an additional savings on your utility bill. Pools finished with plaster (concrete pools) significantly affect the pH level of
the water, as a result you need to use more chemicals to correct the problem.

Concrete pools are harder to clean since they absorb algae into their pores.

A. Fiberglass swimming pools are flexible and can withstand a lot of abuse. Fiberglass swimming pools are also temperature
resistant to freeze-thaw cycle that occurs during the year. Fiberglass has a shock-absorbing ability that allows it to flex up to 2 feet.
However, there also are new concrete construction techniques that allow concrete to flex, but the cost for such concrete models are high.
Q. How often do you need to Repair the fiberglass pool?
A. Fiberglass pools will not require future re-plastering and liner as concrete and vinyl pools.
Unlike a plaster finish, a fiberglass does not change the chemistry of the water, so you often will use less acid.
