Fiberglass Pools

Perhaps the fastest growing surface choice is a berglass pool. This trend is consistent with pools

getting smaller and not having diving boards or deep ends. The entire shell is trucked in as one piece,

limiting the size due to freight expenses and road restrictions.

Operating Issues

Whether it is an entire berglass shell or berglass applied over plaster, the berglass pool will gener-

ally require less maintenance if it has been properly installed. Usually, the smooth surface does not

require brushing.

Maintenance Issues

Keeping calcium above 200 ppm and avoiding high sanitizer levels will keep this surface from staining

or spotting. Fiberglass owners with well water may wish to put an iron lter on their outdoor swimming

pool feed line. Use vitamin C tablets to remove spots or granular ascorbic acid if it is available, no

more than one kilogram per 10,000 gallons.
