Fiberglass Swimming Pools
Dispelling the Myth
The most common myth surrounding fiberglass pools and propagated by competitors in Gunite pools or Vinyl Liner pools is that “Fiberglass pools pop or float out of the ground.” When you are told this you should immediately ask just how a pool with 80 tons of water in it pops out of the ground.
The reality is that no more will a gunite or vinyl liner pools pop or float than will fiberglass pools. In fact any watertight object will float if there is more water under it than in it. Pools can only float when they are drained and the water under the pool exerts upward pressure because there is no water in the pool.
So why would you need to drain a pool? Gunite pools need frequent draining to remove cracks, acid wash, clean stains and re-plaster the pool. Similarly, vinyl liner pools must be drained to replace liners or repair liners. Fiberglass pools carry a lifetime warranty and never need resurfacing so there is no need to drain the pool. So the end result is that many more gunite and vinyl pools float than do fiberglass; don’t be fooled.
Anyone concerned with water under the pool should consult Porky’s Pool & Spa and have a simple drain installed so that water under the pool can be monitored and drained if necessary. There is a wide selection of solutions so there should never be any damage to any pool as a result of high water levels under the pool.
