Frequently Asked Questions
Q. Does a fiberglass pool “pop out” of the ground?
A. NO! Engineers will tell you it is impossible for any pool to “pop out” of the ground when it is full of water. However, just like any pool…gunite, vinyl liner, or fiberglass…lowering of the water level below recommendations will result in an uneven pressure and possibly could result in damage.
Q. Why a fiberglass pool?
A. An article in Money Magazine on swimming pools stated “ one piece fiberglass pools are easiest to maintain.” The story noted that “vinyl liner pools can develop a tear in the liner from a sharp belt buckle” and that the entire liner slowly deteriorates in the sunlight” and must be periodically replaced. Money noted that gunite pools are more expensive and because the “plaster surface is rougher than…fiberglass it is more hospitable to algae and bacteria.” And, we add that gunite pools often require re-painting and plastering.
