Fiberglass pools require less maintenance than other types of in-ground swimming pools, as their smooth, non-porous surface make it difficult for algae and other debris to cling to the walls and floor of the pool.
Fiberglass pools generally do not require resurfacing as often as concrete pools. The non-porous surface is practically resistant to staining and algae growth, which means they are less likely to require resurfacing or refinishing over time. On the other hand, concrete pools require regular resurfacing or replastering to maintain a smooth, even surface and prevent cracking and staining. Over time, exposure to chemicals and the elements can cause the plaster in a concrete pool to break down and erode, which can lead to rough spots, staining, and other damage that requires resurfacing. with proper installation, maintenance, and repair, a fiberglass pool can provide many years of reliable use without the need for frequent resurfacing or other major renovations.
Fiberglass Pools simply require less chemicals. With the non-porous surface of fiberglass pools making it more difficult for algae and bacteria to grow, this reduces the amount of chlorine or other sanitizing chemicals needed to maintain good water quality. This also reduces the need to shock treatments. The fiberglass also does not cause the PH imbalances as plaster on concrete pools does. Thus not requiring near the additional chemicals to keep the water balanced. Less chemicals not only means less chemical smell & a lot less burning eyes, but also a much more enjoyable water to swim in.
Fiberglass pools are energy-efficient due to several factors. Their non-porous surface resists algae growth & reducing the need for chemical treatments and cleaning. Fiberglass pools also have built-in insulation that helps to retain heat and reduce the need for additional heating, which can significantly lower energy costs. In addition, they use efficient circulation pumps that consume less energy than pumps used in other types of pools. Overall, fiberglass pools require less energy to operate and maintain, making them an energy-efficient option for pool owners who want to reduce their environmental impact and save on energy costs.
The fiberglass material is known for its strength and durability, making it resistant to cracking, chipping, and other forms of damage. At the same time, fiberglass is also flexible and can bend and flex slightly under pressure without cracking or breaking, which makes it a good option for areas with unstable soil or where earthquakes or other natural disasters are a concern. Additionally, fiberglass pools are able to expand and contract slightly with changes in temperature, which helps to prevent cracking or damage to the pool shell over time. Fiberglass pools are the least likely to crack compared to other types of pools such as concrete or vinyl liner pools. Additionally, fiberglass is a strong and durable material that is resistant to impact, erosion, and other forms of wear and tear that can cause cracks in other types of pools. Overall, fiberglass pools are a durable and flexible option that can provide many years of reliable use with proper installation and maintenance.

Fiberglass pools have a faster installation process compared to other types of pools. This is because the shells are prefabricated in a factory and delivered to the site as a complete unit, which significantly reduces the time required for on-site construction. The excavation process is relatively simple and can often be completed within a day or two. Additional time may be needed for excavations with a lot of rock. The pool is then placed into the excavated hole, leveled, and backfilled. Then, all that is left is the plumbing & electrical work and of course filling the pool with water! And, it’s ready for use! Overall, the installation process for a fiberglass pool is significantly faster than the months required for concrete pools.
Swimming pools are supposed to be fun, relaxing & enjoyable. When you are spending less time & less money on your pool, you are able to spend a lot more time IN your pool! All of these benefits – less chemicals, less maintenance, more energy efficiency, more durability & flexibility, lower cost of ownership & a faster installation process – really do make fiberglass pools a more enjoyable pool.
