Why own a pool?
A pool provides entertainment, exercise and a lifetime
of memories. And, at a time when our lives seem to be
hectic and vacations are few and far between, its important to
have a place to relax at home. Investing in your home is one of
the best decisions you can make and a pool is a great investment.
Adding a pool is like creating an outdoor living room for you,
your family and friends to enjoy for years to come.
Why purchase a concrete pool?
Strength-In an environment in which the freeze/thaw
cycles are prominent, and highly expansive clay is around every
corner, the strength of a concrete pool is unsurpassed. Fibreglass
pools require that a larger hole than the actual pool shell
be excavated, then backfilled around, this can cause costly
settlement issues only a couple of years down the road. Bowed
walls, cracking/settling decks, and damaged plumbing are just
a few results of this phenomenon. What they don't tell you
is the lifetime warranty on the pool shell does not cover any
of these. While vinyl lined pools are certainly a better alternative,
they rely completely on proper installation. There are only
a few local companies that do not cut corners in order to offer
a lower price to the consumer, if not backfilled and compacted
properly the same issues with deck settlement and cracking can
occur, as well as damage to the plumbing system. Concrete pools,
in general, are not over excavated, they are dug to the exact
dimensions, and the concrete is sprayed directly against the
soil to make a seamless transition between the earth and concrete,
and avoid settlement of backfill problems. Their overall strength
against soil movement is unparalleled.
Longevity- If a quality product that lasts
decades is what you want, than concrete is the only alternative.
If you are only planning on living in your residence for a few
years, and aren't concerned about the product lasting long-term,
than fiberglass or vinyl is a viable alternative.
Customization- You are limited to only the
locations of steps, tan shelves, benches, etc. that a particular
pool shell, or vinyl kit has to offer from the factory. A concrete
pool offers an infinite number of options that can be customized
to the individual users preference.
