aluminum pools are expensive because the cost of the raw material and the cost of fabrication and welding are many times higher than conctrete or gunite. however even if it was less expensive, aluminum is highly toxic to human systems. there are over 18,000 references on aluminum toxicity but the FDS has never studied the subject and it remains on their GRAS (Generally Regarded AS Safe) list. antacids , buffered vitamins, infant formula toothpaste, any contact with flouride, etc are all factors making aluminum more toxic. there are over 1100 studies showing infant formula with aluminum reduces mental functioning in infants.
