FIBREGLASS POOLS VS BUILT POOLS

1. Installation Time

Installed in 7–10 days. Our pre-moulded shells are delivered ready to go, with minimal site disruption.

2. Surface & Hygiene

Smooth, non-porous gelcoat finish resists algae and bacteria, making it easy to clean and gentle on skin.

3. Maintenance & Upkeep

Low-maintenance with no need for resurfacing. Saves you time and thousands in long-term costs.

4. Structural Strength & Flexibility

Slight flexibility absorbs ground movement — ideal for South Africa’s diverse soil conditions.

5. Long-Term Cost

More affordable over time due to lower maintenance, chemical, and repair costs.

6. Consistency & Quality

Manufactured in a controlled factory environment with consistent thickness, finish, and quality control.

VS

1. Installation Time

Takes 6–12 weeks to construct on-site with weather delays, mess, and multiple trades involved.

2. Surface & Hygiene

Rough, porous surface traps dirt and algae — requiring more scrubbing, chemicals, and maintenance.

3. Maintenance & Upkeep

Needs regular acid washing and full resurfacing every 10–15 years, costly and inconvenient.

4. Structural Strength & Flexibility

Rigid structure prone to cracking, especially in unstable or clayheavy ground.

5. Long-Term Cost

Higher total cost of ownership due to resurfacing, tiling, and water treatment needs.

6. Consistency & Quality

Quality depends on onsite workmanship, weather, and subcontractors — results can vary widely.
