I've had pools of all 3 types. Fiberglass is by far the BEST pool we've ever had. Takes less chemicals. Lasts basically forever. I also hear people say fiberglass it too slippery lol. That's such a load of BS! Most of the fiberglass pools have a slightly grainy textured surface so you don't slip and it's very soft on your feet. Very hard to scrape your foot on a fiberglass pool. Virtually impossible.

I respectfully disagree with some of your comments on plaster/aggregate finished gunite pools. These pools last indefinitely granted they will need/ benefit from renovation every 15-20 years or so but they are very high quality often beautiful pools and have stood the test of time. I grew up with one and recently had a 51 year old one renovated and it is essentially a new pool in terms of structure/surface. Additionally with proper maintenance/water chemistry as you mentioned, they will not require frequent acid washes or scratch your feet (though this may depend on finish selection, maybe a rough pebble tech finish can cause scratches). I like your channel and am a fan of the quality fiberglass pools you install but to knock or imply that a quality built gunite pool is inferior outside of build time or heat retention is unwarranted.
@AlbertGroup5 жыл бұрын
I guess at my age 15 years is too soon to need to fix something. Gosh, I started this company in 2005 and it feels like yesterday. As far as the surface scratching you goes, water chemistry has everything to do with this. While I only build gunite pools for commercial or giant homeowner projects these days, I cut my teeth on them for ten years before I started my company. Most homeowners (not all) simply will not have the water chemistry correct 10 times out of 10, because the water temperature is part of the saturation index formula. With the fluctuation in PH, Alkalinity, and temp, it is nearly impossible to to maintain a gunite pool at 0 on the index. Because of this most pool supply stores will put you slightly in the positive if you bring a water sample to them, so that when something changes(PH, Alkalinity or Temp) you do not risk going into the negative. Since water wants to get to zero by itself (perfectly balanced), it will drop the excess calcium out of suspension on it's own. Similarly, if it is starving for calcium it will steal it where it can.The Romans actually figured this out when their aqueducts were destroying themselves. The solution, same as today - was to increase the calcium and allow it to fall out rather than the water stealing calcium from the surface of your pool. Since calcium does not fall out of suspension and adhere on the surface like glass but rather like sandpaper, this is what makes gunite pools feel "scratchy". The solution is to drain the pool and acid wash the shell every 3 years or so. This procedure slightly deteriorates the plaster in the pool and after about 3 or 4 acid washings, a new surface is called for. Now, there are exceptions to every rule, this is the real world after all. Plaster is simply not "plaster" anymore - I am actually factory certified to apply Diamond Brite and all it's relatives (Durazzo, River Rok, Brilliance, etc). In the end if you have a pool that makes you happy and you are creating the memories with your family and friends that will last a lifetime that all that matters!

My father, who’s in his early 70s, constantly has to clean and maintain it to keep the appropriate balance. Now I’m in the process of installing a pool and he’s adamant about getting a fiberglass pool. I love the looks of gunite pools but prefer not to spend thousands in maintaining it years later.

We did our own concrete work and I wish I would have had them do it but I put pex pipe in it to heat my pool.

Unilock Beacon hill XL in smooth texture - steel mountain color. Canada is the fastest growing territory for fiberglass pools because of how well they do with freeze thaw. The Boeing 888 utilizes a lot of fiberglass in the high stress points of the aircraft - google it. Also google temp at 40,000 feet. It's crazy. Imagine one min you are at 40,000 feet and -70 degrees F and however many minutes later 110 degrees F landing in the desert. If fiberglass could not handle it, the plane would fail.

@AlbertGroup19 күн бұрын
Hello! So installing a liner over the concrete is an inexpensive alternative, but it is more complicated than you think and quite the process. Youd have to make sure you get the right liner or else youd have another problem on your hands. Getting all the water out and spraying fiberglass onto all the cracks is also another option that has seen more longevity. It really comes down to what you can afford and how much of a process you want it to be. Hope this helped!

We were told it makes it half of a fiberglass pool.

That's terrible that someone would have said that to you. That was a shady thing for them to say. Yes, there is fiberglass strands in the concrete, that does not make it a fiberglass vessel.

Growing up we had a fiberglass pool. Unfortunately it cracked because the hydrostatic valve that was supposed to release water into the pool should the pressure become to high failed. Ultimately the whole pool needed to be removed because the crack was not repairable. Years later I remember also seeing a neighbor’s fiberglass pool literally heave and lift itself out of the ground. Although maintenance with a fiberglass pool is fairly simple you do want to be aware of your water table. (We live in NJ).

Hey J. We are very particular about building our pools the right way and making sure that it has the support it needs. We back fill the entire pool shell with gravel so that there's no possible way it could crack. The support of the gravel makes it so the water can't physically break the shell.

Concrete has larger (and deeper) pools, any shape you want, the best footing (not slippery like the others), and isn't laterally weak from a structural standpoint (as compared to fiberglass). There are nightmare stories about every type of pool out there though. Subjectively, I think Fiberglass pools look cheap- like a giant plastic bathtub (similar to most liner pools you will see). If you're on a budget, a liner or fiberglass is the best solution. The guy in this video really is trying to sell fiberglass rather than objectively disclose issues that it has, like settling, cracks, walls buckling, etc. Fiberglass has arguably more risk from installation issues than any other pool type. Concrete isn't an issue with saltwater as he makes it out to be either- he's hyper critical of other pool styles then upsells the fiberglass hard without disclosing the full breadth of it's issues.
@John34. Жыл бұрын
@Sly Ehhh. Yeah, concrete is great, too. I just know that concrete is the hardest of them to maintain and costs the most to have. They are extremely durable but rough, in my opinion. I'm just speaking from experience of having a fiberglass pool. It was installed in 2001, and here we are in 2023, and it's still doing great. The maintenance is the easiest out of all pools. Professional pool installers say up to 70 percent less maintenance with fiberglass than any other pool system. I believe that because we live in the woods and every fall/winter boat, loads of leaves would settle at the bottom. The entire pool would turn brown and stay that way for 6 to 7 months. Then come spring early summer, we would remove all the leaves throw shock in, and 3 days later, the pool is baby blue again. Zero staining that you would get with liner or concrete pools. We also have a larger one that is over 8ft deep and 45 feet long. It was not cheap. I remember my dad shelling out like $30,000 in 2000-2001. Me and my wife were looking at some last summer, and they were like $55,000 and up. None of them are really a budget anymore.

I'm in Las Vegas, NV and I've never seen a fiber glass pool over here, do you know if our weather is just not conducive to this kind of pool? Anyone you could recommend in my area?

very informative, question: how do you remodel a fiberglass pool? are you stuck with the original design?
@AlbertGroup4 жыл бұрын
Well, Hopefully you never need to, they do carry a lifetime warranty! But yes you can't change the shape, same goes for vinyl or Gunnite. I suppose you could change the shape of a Gunnite job, but at that point just start over.

AlbertGroup thanks. I bought a home with an existing pool and it’s time to remodel.

@@GustavoSellsOC I know of a guy that takes some of the older fiberglass pools and resurfaces them. He travels the country doing this. I'll see if I can post his info here.

I saw on another video that you don't drain these pools in the winter? If that's the case then that would be a pro that you don't have a huge water bill every year to fill it up.

Thanks Albert Group - i want to ask if possible, how much would it roughly cost to have the full setup design you show for fiberglass pools, including the hot water spa and the exterior tiles / marbles ?

Can you put a fiberglass pool into a vinyl in ground pool 18’ x 36’
@AlbertGroup6 ай бұрын
Hello! In this case, we would take the previous pool out of where it is located and put a fiberglass pool in. In terms of our pool sizes, our website lists many different pools in many different sizes. Feel free to check it out! The link is in the description.
@lkytdsvc3 жыл бұрын
If you have three pools of the same size but made of each of the materials then the water volume will be the same. Why as you said that fibreglass is a fraction of the cost to heat and maintain. This is just a curiosity question.
@evictioncarpentry26282 жыл бұрын
Because your ground temperature that deep is cold. The fiberglass pools have gravel all around them insulating them from that cold ground, where as concrete pools do not and you will have heat transfer/ loss between the two.

Fiberglass is an insulator.

It is plumbed like a real pool, not like a free standing hot tub. The electronics, pump etc are on an equipment pad outside of the pool area.
