More facts about Fiberglass Swimming Pools:
One of the great advantages of a quality Fiberglass swimming pool is it tensile strength, which means a Fiberglass pool can be put into any ground condition where there is lots of movement that is caused by clay and other unstable conditions without cracking, as it can bend with the moving conditions underneath.
Fiberglass swimming pools are easy to maintain. This is largely due to a smoother non-porous finish that is found on a Fiberglass shell. Algae can be easily maintained and the overall effort put into your swimming pool is less. Fiberglass swimming pools can still stain, but removal can be relatively simple if the stain is no older than six months or so. This should, however, not occur with regular water testing and proper care of the pool.
