COMMON QUESTIONS

What exactly is a Fiberglass Pool, and how is it different from other types of pools?

Fiberglass pools are pre-formed shells manufactured from fiberglass-reinforced material. In contrast to conventional concrete or vinyl liner pools, fiberglass pools come in one piece and are installed as such. This streamlined construction process reduces installation time and minimizes the potential for errors. Additionally, fiberglass pools boast a smooth, non-porous surface that resists algae growth, reducing maintenance efforts compared to other pool types.

How Durable are Fiberglass Pools?

Fiberglass pools are renowned for their durability. The fiberglass shell is incredibly strong and flexible, making it resistant to cracking, shifting and weather-related damage. Unlike concrete pools, which may develop cracks over time due to ground movement, fiberglass pools are less susceptible to these issues. This durability translates to a longer lifespan for your pool, providing years of enjoyment for you and your family.

Are Fiberglass Pools customizable?

Absolutely! While fiberglass pools come in many shapes and sizes, manufacturers often offer customization options to suit your preferences. Whether you envision a sleek, modern design or a more traditional shape, there’s likely a fiberglass pool option that aligns with your aesthetic preferences. Additionally, you can personalize your pool with features such as built-in benches, tanning ledges and water features to create the ultimate backyard retreat.

How long does it take to install a Fiberglass Pool?

One of the distinct advantages of fiberglass pools is their relatively quick and efficient installation process. Compared to concrete pools, which can take several weeks to construct, fiberglass pools can often be installed in as little as a few days, depending on site preparation and other factors. This means you’ll spend less time waiting and more time enjoying your new pool.

Are Fiberglass Pools low maintenance?

Yes, fiberglass pools are known for their low maintenance requirements. The smooth, non-porous surface resists algae growth, reducing the need for frequent scrubbing and chemical treatments. Additionally, the durable nature of fiberglass means you won’t have to worry about resurfacing or retiling your pool as you might with other pool types. With routine maintenance such as skimming, vacuuming and water testing, you can keep your fiberglass pool sparkling clean with minimal effort.

Are Fiberglass Pools environmentally friendly?

Fiberglass pools offer several environmental benefits compared to other pool types. The manufacturing process typically produces less waste and consumes fewer resources than the construction of concrete pools. Additionally, the smooth surface of fiberglass pools requires fewer chemicals to maintain water quality, reducing the environmental impact of pool maintenance. Finally, fiberglass pools’ energy-efficient design can help lower your overall energy consumption, especially when paired with eco-friendly heating and filtration systems.

How much does a Fiberglass Pool cost?

The cost of a fiberglass pool can vary depending on factors such as size, shape, customization options, and site-specific considerations. While fiberglass pools may have a higher initial cost compared to vinyl liner pools, they often require less maintenance and have lower long-term operating costs. It’s essential to obtain quotes from reputable fiberglass pool manufacturers and contractors to get an accurate understanding of the total cost, including installation and any additional features or upgrades.

| FASTER INSTALLATION

Fiberglass pools from Crystal Pools can be installed in as little as seven days. That’s because these pools are installed as one piece. Once the shell is manufactured, it can typically be installed within a week or so. Also, the installation isn’t as dependent on the weather as other pools are. Both vinyl liner pools and concrete pools require specific weather conditions to prevent damage during installation. While fiberglass pools do require ideal conditions—mostly for the safety of the installers—the fiberglass itself is not as vulnerable to adverse conditions like rain or sharp temperature fluctuations.

| DURABILITY

Fiberglass pools are stronger, more durable and less likely to be damaged. While there are numerous benefits to vinyl pools as well, it’s a fact that fiberglass pools are simply less likely to be punctured. This means less damage risk and lower overall maintenance costs over the life of the pool. Some of the most common things that puncture liner pools are the sharp ends of a pool pole, dog claws, and a wide variety of non-pool-safe toys and others objects. These items typically aren’t as much of a concern with fiberglass pools.

| LOWER MAINTENANCE

Fiberglass swimming pools are known for being virtually maintenance-free. That’s in part because of the durability mentioned above, but also because fiberglass offers a smooth, less porous surface. The smoother surface prevents algae growth, which is common with other pools that have more crevices (especially concrete). Customers with fiberglass pools report spending less time cleaning and maintaining their pools each week, in addition to lower long-term maintenance.

| NO LINER REPLACEMENT OR RESURFACING NEEDED

All vinyl liners eventually need to be replaced. But with fiberglass pools, there is no liner. This is a large expense that fiberglass pool owners are happy to never have to deal with. Concrete pools also need their own maintenance to keep them clean and well-maintained: it’s recommended to have concrete pools acid-washed and even resurfaced every few years. These are additional concerns that fiberglass pool owners don’t have to worry about.

| LOWER LIFETIME COST

A swimming pool, of any type, is a great investment that will continue to offer benefits to your family for years to come. But it’s important to remember that maintaining your pool is also crucial for protecting your investment, and that maintenance comes with additional costs over the long term. Fiberglass pools typically have a higher upfront cost than vinyl liner pools, for example. But when you consider the low maintenance and other benefits, fiberglass pools ultimately cost you less to own over the long term.
