Penguin Pools - Fiberglass Swimming Pools
Penguin Pools Leave Nothing to the Imagination
Fiberglass pools are the most precise and exact pools you can ever purchase. The standard for fiberglass pools is to put a one piece, pre-molded, pool into an excavated hole with sand. This method is widely used, however you don't get to modify the pool to fit you exact needs.

Myths vs Facts about Fiberglass Pools
There are many misconceptions about fiberglass pools out there. Here are the straight facts on a few of the more commonly repeated misconceptions about fiberglass pools. Make sure that you know the FACTS!
Fiberglass Pools Last Forever - FACT!
Imagine throwing away a fiberglass boat. No way! Quality fiberglass boats don't ever wear out and neither do quality fiberglass pools. Provided the pool is properly maintained, a fiberglass pool will look very much the same as the day it was installed! A tropical pool will remain beautiful and functional forever. A fiberglass pool does not need to have its surface re-gel-coated like a concrete pool needs re-plastering. Resin is permanent.

Fiberglass Pools "POP" Out of the Ground - MYTH!
Your common sense probably made you wonder about this claim, right? This statement is a favorite scare tactic of the industry if they have never installed a fiberglass pool, but they LOSE credibility after the customer gets the facts.
Any watertight vessel, in this case your pool, will float, regardless of what it is made of, provided the vessel is empty and there is water under it. This same "principle of displacement" is what allows heavy concrete barges to float as easily as lightweight fiberglass boats. What overcomes displacement? The weight of the water! This is why boats that have sunk do not "pop" out of the water!
Lets fully understand this: pools have water in them, not under them so there is no way a pool can "pop out".

Never Use Acid in a Fiberglass Pool - MYTH!
Sure you can! This is another favorite scare tactic of the misinformed "professionals". The gel-coat of our fiberglass pools is chemically inert! If need be, straight muriatic or ascorbic acid can be used on the surface, although typically a diluted concentration will do the job just fine. However, the pH in a fiberglass pool is rarely, if ever, high so the need for acid to bring it down is almost unheard of. In fact you can use just about any chemical in a fiberglass pool that you would in others. Gel coat is tough stuff!

Fiberglass Pools Don't Look Like a Real Pool - MYTH!
We always snicker at this one, because fiberglass pools are as "real" as they come! In fact, a fiberglass pool that has been installed with a cantilevered deck and perhaps optional waterline tile, is impossible to distinguish from a brand new plaster pool. To tell the difference one must reach into the water and touch the satin soft surface.
The big difference though, is that the fiberglass pool will keep its good looks, where a plaster pool will begin to look pitted, rusted, and blotchy after a few years! |
