aesthetics, recreation, entertainment, physical fitness,
and improving the overall quality of life.
Q: Are there any risks when
installing a pool?
A: Your pool should be installed
by a properly trained builder who has references of
other jobs. In addition, you should make sure prior to
the installation, that the pool is placed in the proper
location to take advantage of the sun and view from your
home. Something that some people do not consider when
deciding to put a pool in their backyard is the impact
that the pool will have on your life – your backyard
could become the gathering spot in the neighborhood.

times stronger and more flexible than concrete or
gunite.

virtually maintenance free. On average, a homeowner can

maintenance versus other types of pools. In-floor
cleaning systems can also be installed to make cleaning
even more manageable.
Q: What are the advantages of
fiberglass pools having a smooth surface?
A: One advantage is that algae
will grow on porous surfaces like that of a concrete
pool. The non-porous surface of a fiberglass pool will
not scrap your skin or tear your swim suites as a
concrete pool would.
Q: Can salt water be used in a
fiberglass pool?
A: Absolutely! Salt water
swimming pools have become increasingly popular. Jandy

performed under water.
