ue to the non-porous finish of our pools, fewer chemicals are needed because algae is less prone to attach to smoother surfaces. Additionally, less cleaning will have to be performed using automatic pool cleaners saving electricity. When automatic pool cleaners are used, the time it takes to clean the pool will be reduced saving additional energy. As fiberglass pools do not rely on steel panels or steel mesh/rebar for structure, they do not have the potential to leech chemicals and rust back into the groundwater as a more conventional constructed pool would. Fiberglass pools in general act as a natural insulator. Your filter and heater will potentially run dramatically less than equipment on vinyl/gunite pools. Depending on the climate and size of the pool, a homeowner can save up to $225.00 per month on their pool maintenance with our pools versus other types of pools (vinyl/ gunite). With more and more people concerned about our environment, our Eco-Friendly pools are already the pool of tomorrow. Not only do our pools use less chemicals and energy, our pools never need to be re-plastered, nor do they have a liner to replace – thus resulting in less waste in our landfills.

he color and finish of your pool sets the mood for your pools overall appearance. It’s important to choose a 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™ finishes make the water sparkle and shine. Or if subtlety is more your style, try our choice of Pearl or Topaz Gel-coat finishes.

e take great pride in producing the finest quality one-piece pool on the market today. We use only the finest raw materials combined with sophisticated manufacturing techniques to ensure that your fantasy pool withstands the test of time. 1. The first step in our unique manufacturing process is the application of gel-coat or our Diamond Series™ finish. 2. Next, the important corrosion barrier is formed with the application of an epoxy-modified resin called Vinyl Ester Resin. This layer provides greater impact resistance and optimum blister protection. 3. Reinforcing layers of fiberglass and resin laminate are applied by hand for enhanced strength and durability. 4. The final step in our manufacturing process is to reinforce the coping, by enclosing it with solid beam construction. Convenience ledges and vertical supports are also reinforced to provide you with the best built pool in the industry.

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 to 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.
