BlogFiberglass Pool Durability and More Reasons to Choose Fiberglass
First, congratulations on deciding to look into a fiberglass pool! More and more families are going this route. A swimming pool is great for making memories and fantastic for exercise, socializing, and relaxation. It can also increase the resale value of your home. Whether or not you are planning on selling your home, most homeowners ask at some point before buying, How long does a fiberglass pool last?” In this post, weâll answer that and give you even more reasons pool buyers choose a fiberglass pool, starting with reason one: fiberglass pool durability. Reason 1: Fiberglass is arguably the most durable of pool types. With proper maintenance, fiberglass pools have been known to have a lifespan of 50 years or more. Fiberglass manufacturers craft the shell in multiple layers, with each layer serving to maximize the strength and durability of the entire structure. The layers help the fiberglass withstand weather conditions while retaining flexibility and resisting cracking. Unlike vinyl liner pools that need regular liner replacements or gunite pools that require acid washing and replastering, fiberglass pools can remain in service without major repair for several decades. Reason 2: Fiberglass is accepted as the lowest to maintain among […]

BlogThe Top 9 Reasons Pool Builders Recommend Fiberglass Pools
Thinking of getting an inground pool? If so, youâll have three types of pool to choose from: vinyl, fiberglass and gunite. Youâll probably want to do some research to determine which type of pool most suits you. If you have friends that have previously bought pools, you can ask them what they love about their pools and what they wish they had known before buying a pool. As with any big investment, itâs good to ask the salespeople what they would choose for themselves. In recent years, pool builders are increasingly recommending fiberglass pools over vinyl and gunite. Letâs take a look at the top ten reasons why. Low upfront investment. Of the three types of pools, vinyl typically has the lowest upfront investment, but fiberglass is not far behind.

BlogAsk the General: What Do I Need to Know About General Pool Maintenance?
Dear General- We live in Kentucky and just got a new pool last year. Itâs almost time to open our pool for the season, and we feel like we could use a refresher course on pool maintenance as spring approaches. Can you give us some general (no pun intended) pool maintenance tips to ensure weâll be in good shape the whole season long? Sincerely, New Pool Peeps in Petersburg Dear New Peeps- Thanks for writing, and go Wildcats! You didnât say whether you have a vinyl, gunite or fiberglass pool, so Iâll cover a little bit of everything. Obviously, the first step is to get your pool open. If you are using a pool service company, ask what they need you to do before they arrive. Companies often have a âto do listâ that will help them efficiently open your inground pool. For example, all your equipment (and parts and pieces that were removed at closing) should be accessible. Be sure to have power available to the equipment area. If you arenât home when the technician arrives, and a breaker is off in a locked house, it will be a wasted trip. Being prepared when the pool service arrives will […]

BlogAsk the General: What Do I Need to Know About Groundwater in the Spring?
Dear General; Our family got a new inground pool last summer, and our pool installer told us that we need to keep an eye on our groundwater pressure and levels in the springtime. What advice can you give us pool owner newbies about springtime pool maintenance, and what do I need to know about the possibility of groundwater damaging our pool in the spring? Signed; Waiting for Spring in Walnut Ridge Dear Waiting; Your pool installer is correct. There IS quite a lot to think about in the spring, and the risks from excess groundwater pressure should be top-of-mind as we get ready to open our pools for the season. When your pool was installed, your pool builder probably explained all about groundwater pressure and how their installation process was intended to protect your pool from it (along with a host of other forgotten tips). No one really expects pool owners to memorize every detail about their pools. So, Iâm glad you asked about groundwater and spring pool maintenance. Hereâs what you need to know: Groundwater pressure is no joke. I canât stress this enough. Spring showers, coupled with thawing snow, saturate the ground around your pool. Your pool […]
