Fibreglass reinforced polyester (GRP) composite materials, is the material that is revolutionising the pool industry by keeping water in whilst maintaining its good appearance and ease of maintenance.
Compared to a concrete or marbelite pool, a fibreglass lined pool is generally less costly to maintain on a monthly basis. This is important to the pool owner, because a clean pool is a healthy pool.
The savings come about through significant reductions in the chemicals required during summer, to maintain well balanced, crystal-clear water, as well as a reduction in wear and tear on automatic pool cleaning equipment, due to the tough, durable, but smooth surface of the fibreglass lining compared with the relatively rough surface of gunite or marbelite plaster. Fiberglass pools do not need a liner and do not need to be resurfaced for many years. This is a major advantage. Cleaning and maintaining fiberglass pools is quick and easy, which makes them a popular choice.
Painting pools has been an option even before pool plastering came around. Back in the day, all pools were painted; it was an annual pool opening tradition. When plaster for pools began to be used, pool owners appreciated the long lasting and durable surface and the smooth white finish. Pool plaster will most certainly take this round. Pool plaster, when properly mixed, applied, cured and maintained – can last 15-20 years. Pool Paint? Depending on the type of paint used, as well as application and curing factors, 2-7 years of life can be expected from a pool paint job. Round 1 goes to the scrappy young fighter’s scorecard – pool plaster wins. Paints used for pools, spas and fountains, are specifically made for underwater use, and are quite durable against poor water chemistry, temperature extremes and even rough treatment from pool equipment.
Plaster cracks such as those described above occur at the surface of the finish and rarely progress into the concrete shell. Although shallow, surface cracks do need to be repaired to maintain the integrity of the pool finish and prevent algae from gaining a foothold.
If a crack is structural, there is a good chance that the pool is leaking or will eventually leak. These cracks occur in the shell of the pool and may appear in various locations as vertical or horizontal cracks on the sides or bottom of the pool. The majority of structural cracks running through the concrete (gunite or shotcrete) will also be mirrored through the plaster coating or the tile area over the bond beam. Cracks in a pool that’s significantly out of level are an indication of a serious problem.
Since a pressure imbalance is the cause of most pool bulges, we know the solution is simply to reinstate that balance. Exactly how that is done will depend on how the problem occurred in the first place.
If the pool is bulging outwards, it is likely that the backfill has shifted. To remedy this, backfill will need to be inspected and replaced with a more suitable material.
If the pool is bulging inwards, look at the drainage near your pool. Water might be collecting nearby. Assure your drainage system is working properly and potentially even consider a sump pump if you’re struggling with environmental factors beyond your control
While we love getting our hands dirty and fixing problems on our own, a bulging pool is best treated by a professional repairer who can assess the situation and assure it is resolved correctly. With fibreglass pools, the repercussions are significant if you make the wrong move.
A pool or spa pump is the heart of the equipment pad. Without it, the system can not move or filter water, and features such as salt cells, in-line chlorinators, and gas heaters are not able to operate.

Ever experienced a malfunction that put your pool activities on hold? Was it caused by a leak? Pool leaks can wreak havoc on your outdoor space and render the pool useless until they are fixed. Unfortunately, most minor leaks go undetected until they cause irreversible damage to your pool equipment. Large cracks leak water and corrode water pipes or cause structural damage to concrete. Leaks can also cause a short circuit if the non-waterproof electrical components of the pool come into contact with water. Thus, it’s essential to learn what causes pool leaks and how you can prevent them to maintain a fully-functional and safe pool at all times. Keep reading to find out! Some leaks are easier to detect while others will require the help of a professional. Our experts will assess your pool and make repairs, replacements, or upgrades where necessary.
Swimming offers many benefits, not the least of which is the number of calories you can burn after doing several laps. The benefits you’ll gain from swimming can even extend to refreshing afternoon summers spent with the family when you have a pool in your own backyard. Since a swimming pool can become the centre of family activities and can lend your property a certain advantage over other properties, should you decide to sell it in the future, it becomes quite crucial then to maintain it.
One of the more critical components of your pool is the water filter, which helps to keep your swimming pool free of dirt and bacteria. When you have a reliable pool filtration system, you gain a number of benefits that can positively impact your health and your budget.
The right filtration system can lead to better water quality for your pool. When the filter is able to remove finer particles or debris, you get a cleaner pool. A cleaner pool will lead to an unlikelihood that the dreaded algae bloom will take over your property’s most enjoyable feature. But whether you use a cartridge filter or a high-rate sand filter, its efficiency may depend on the working condition of other components
Good circulation is central to making your pool safe and pleasant to bathe in. Every chemical you put in the pool works to the extent that it is circulated in the water. Getting rid of impurities in the pool also depends on circulation. Circulation helps your pool filter work better and the pool pump is the equipment responsible for the circulation in a swimming pool. The kind of pump you install in a pool determines how well this essential function is carried out. Key factors for the efficiency of a pool pump are the flow rate of the water and how many times swimming pool water turns over in a day. The more times the full volume of water in your pool passes through the circulation system, the easier it will be to keep pool water healthy, explains Innovative Property Solutions.
Pool sand filters are considered the easiest to use and are a popular choice amongst the other varieties. Pool water is pumped through the system and the sand in the filter catches any dirt and debris, purifying and cleaning the water before returning it to the pool. Although the operation of a sand filter is basic, it is incredibly effective. The sand used within the filter is specially graded to ensure it traps tiny particles of dirt, debris, and bacteria; the more tightly packed the sand is within the filter, the more efficient it becomes. This sand is often referred to as pool sand, however, your pool filter manual may refer to it as 16/30 or 16-30 sand. You might now be wondering what is involved with maintaining a pool sand filter. There is a simple process called “backwashing” which removes any dirt, algae, and visible debris from your sand filter by reversing the flow of water and expelling the dirty water into a drain. By performing a backwash process periodically, you will keep the sand filter operating at its optimum performing level.
Every swimming pool needs a proper balance of chemicals to stay clean and clear. Without a proper chemical balance, your pool can get overrun with bacteria and algae. It can be hard to figure out the right balance for your pool, though. It all depends on the size of the pool, the current state of the water, and other hard to determine factors. Putting too many chemicals in the pool can harm your skin and eyes!
Your local pool cleaning service knows exactly how much chlorine to put in a pool, and how to get it to just the right pH level. Not only will they keep your pool safe from bacteria, but they’ll keep your skin and eyes safe as well. Hiring a pool service will inevitably save you a lot of time in the long run. All that time you’d regularly spend maintaining the pool can be spent on other important tasks, or just relaxing in the shade. What’s more, hiring a pool cleaning service can also save you money, especially if they offer package deals. The pool cleaner will inspect your pool while they work, and may notice the early signs of issues that could bloom into expensive fixes overtime
