Fiberglass pools never deteriorate. In fact they get stronger every year.
Fiberglass is 17 times stronger than concrete (flexible strength of 54,000 p.s.i.) and can accommodate a full 12 inches of movement that would destroy a concrete pool
The color is molded in like Corian counter tops and gives a durable finish
The Aqua Group offers a lifetime structural warranty against leaking and other defects
Pools from The Aqua Group never have to be remarcited (plastering) like concrete pools (thousands of dollars in savings)
All of our fiberglass pools have smooth, non-porous walls that do not harbor resident algae.
Smooth non-porous surface makes cleaning easier and reduces maintenance by 90%
Chlorine levels are maintained at .1 ppm (parts per million) versus 3.0 for concrete pools (average savings of 2/3)
Our fiberglass pools are built in a modern factory under quality-controlled conditions
We install all of our fiberglass pools quickly with minimum disruption to your home.
With fiberglass or vinyl you will have no more skinned knees, torn or snagged bathing suits
