Is a fiberglass pool better than a gunite pool?

Yes, fiberglass pools have a smooth finish. Where a concrete pool was a pourus and rougher finish that gives alge something to grab on to. Also staining it. A low calcium level can pit a concrete pool, not a fiberglass, plus a fiberglass pool is more flexible,so ground movement wont crack it. In the long run the extra money you pay for fiberglass is worth it.


Can a fiberglass pool be installed above ground?

Yes you can. And with great results. We had our gunite pool fiberglassed over about 10 years ago. A local company had glassed over several pools in the area including some at motels. We paid about $6500 including all new deck coating. The company used fiberglass mat and resin for the pool and some kind of waterproof resin material for the deck. The deck still looks like new, but I am going to repaint the pool next year.


Is it possible to replace a fiberglass pool with a traditional in-ground pool?

Absolutely, But if you only have the land to fit a fiberglass pool, Your new gunite pool will be considerably smaller by about 1 foot all the way around. A fiberglass drop in pool is too small already, RIGHT? Kenny Kummer Brody Chemical


Is there a video on how to replaster a fiber glass pool?

Hum, not sure if you can actually plaster a fiberglass pool. The glass would have to be removed first. You will have to consult a pool builder, a company that installs fiberglass shells or a company that installs fiberglass in plastered pools - thus converting a gunite/plaster pool into a gunite/fiberglass pool. The later uses the old pool shell as the sub-grade or foundation so to speak. k


Can you drain a fiberglass in ground swimming pool?

No!!! Under no circumstances should you drain a fiberglass in-ground pool. Unlike the standard in-ground pool, the fiberglass pool base is unreinforced concrete or other hard surface material that was applied directly to the soil in a thin layer. It is only there to allow the fiberglass to be sprayed on and form a hard shell. The weight of the water is what holds the fiberglass in place. If you drain the pool without refilling it immediately, you will allow external ground pressures and/or ground water to buckle the sides or bottom and you will have the fiberglass completely redone.


How do you fibreglass a inground pool liner pool?

Fiberglass pool shells are shipped in a single piece directly from the manufacturer. As a result, you don't actually linea pool with fiberglass the way you would with concrete or vinyl. Instead, installing a fiberglass pool simply means digging a hole in which to place the already completed shell.


What is the best replacement for a pool with a bad liner fiberglass walls and a dirt bottom?

You're half way there already. Add a 4" cement/fiber-mesh bottom. Let it cure per instructions, then fiberglass it using vinyl ester resin and one ounce Owens Corning chopped strand mat. Sand the fiberglass walls, then apply two new coats of swimming pool gel coat to the entire pool. Every 15 years thereafter, sand and replace the gel coat on the entire pool.
