Other benefits of Owning a Fiberglass Pool

  • Fiberglass pools never deteriorate. They get stronger every year.
  • Fiberglass is 17 times stronger than concrete (flexible strength of 54,000 p.s.i.) and can accommodate a full 12 inches of movement that would destroy a concrete pool
  • The color is molded like Corian countertops and gives a durable finish
  • The Aqua Group offers a lifetime structural warranty against leaking and other defects
  • Pools from The Aqua Group never have to be remarked (plastering) like concrete pools (thousands of dollars in savings)
  • All of our fiberglass pools have smooth, non-porous walls that do not harbor resident algae.
  • Smooth non-porous surface makes cleaning easier and reduces maintenance by 90%
  • Chlorine levels are maintained at .1 ppm (parts per million) versus 3.0 for concrete pools (average savings of 2/3)
  • Our fiberglass pools are built in a modern factory under quality-controlled conditions
  • We install all of our fiberglass pools quickly with minimum disruption to your home.
  • With fiberglass or vinyl, you will have no more skinned knees, or torn or snagged bathing suits.
