Fiberglass Pools
Perhaps the fastest growing surface choice is a fiberglass 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 fiberglass shell or fiberglass applied over plaster, the fiberglass 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 filter 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.
