Fiberglass Pool Myth #4

MYTH #4:
Fiberglass Pools are much more expensive than vinyl liner pools.

TRUTH:
Typically, if someone is comparing a Crystal Palace Pool to a liner pools, apples to apples, features to features, they will find that a Crystal Palace Pool unit typically runs $5,000-$10,000 more initially, but there are two ways of figuring out the price; the initial price and the initial price plus added expenses of the pool over the course of a lifetime. For example, let’s say your spend $25,000 initially for a vinyl-liner pool. Considering liners will typically late 8 years on average, which can vary depending on a number of factors, before it has to be replaces, and the average cost of a liner replacement is usually between $3,000-$5,000. A vinyl-lined pool owner can spend $8,000-$12,000 on liner replacements alone during the first 20 years. The same principle applies to concrete pools that have to be replastered, every 8 to 12 years, with an average cost of well over $5,000. This is one great advantage of a fiberglass pool. There are almost never large expenses down the road for a homeowner to worry about. When a potential pool buyer figured in the cost of these long-term repairs/expenses, as well as the year to year savings on chemicals, it is no wonder why so many customers are willing to pay more initially for a Crystal Palace Pool in order to pay less and have less headache in the long run.

Fiberglass Pool Myth #3

Myth #3:
Fiberglass pools pop out of the ground.

TRUTH:
A Crystal Palace fiberglass pools will never pop out of the ground if it is properly installed. This is because our fiberglass pools should always be filled with water and the surrounding concrete engulfs the pool’s outer lip, making it impossible for the pool to move unless the concrete moves with it. If any type of pool is installed in an area with a high water table, it is the responsibility of the builder to properly install and safeguard the pool against possible damage due to the high ground water whether it is a fiberglass, vinyl lined or concrete pool.

Fiberglass Pool Myth #2

MYTH #2:
Fiberglass pools only work in warm climates.

TRUTH:
It is an accepted fact in the swimming pool industry that fiberglass has the ability to “flex” due to its incredible tensile strength, much more so then any other type of pool (i.e. concrete). When someone is concerned about freeze conditions having an adverse effect on fiberglass, they are forgetting that when the water in the pool freezes is expands in an upward direction which has no barriers. The simple fact is that Crystal Palace Pools has never had one customer sustain any damage to the fiberglass shell due to freezing weather conditions.

Fiberglass Pool Myth #1

MYTH #1:
Fiberglass pools look cheap.

TRUTH:
If someone had stated this many years ago, we might have to agree with them. Times have changed in the fiberglass pool industry, especially with the introduction of pool colors other than classic blue or white; such as our Diamond Series. Also now you can add waterline and inlayed ceramic tile, mosaic inlayed tile, fiber-optic or LED lighting, cascades, streams, and much more!

Pool Color

The color and finish of your Crystal Palace Pool sets the mood for your pool’s overall appearance. It’s important to choose the color that will further enhance the look and feel you are trying to achieve. Since the sun reflects the water, naturally giving it a blue look, changing the surface color of the pool affects how the water appears. Our custom Diamond Series finish makes the water sparkle and shine. Or if subtlety is more your style, try our choice of Pearl or Topaz Gel-Coats.

Safety

Crystal Palace Pools strongly urges you to have a conversation with your pool provider about the correct use and installation of safety devices like safety ropes, child safety barriers, pool surface alarms and safety covers. Every pool should be surrounded by a locked and gated fence in compliance with the National Spa and Pool Institute’s guidelines, as well as with local building and safety codes. Safety should be the first priority of any new or existing pool owner.


Make sure you take all the necessary steps to assure that you, your friends, family and anyone else in or around your pool are familiar with the guidelines of its safe and sensible use. Smart pool owners urge their guests not to use it under the influence of alcohol, drugs, stimulants, prescription drugs or anything else that could by any way hinder their judgment or abilities.
