Ease of Maintenance Unlike plaster, composite plastic contains such microscopic pores that it is considered non-porous. In this case, if algae develops in the pool, it can grow on the fiberglass surface, but it cannot take root in the material itself. On the other hand, a plaster pool contains pores that allow algae to grow and take root. The non-porous attribute of fiberglass contributes to the overall ease of maintenance. To clean a concrete surface, you may try to scrub with a wire brush or use an acid to eat the contaminant out of the pores. With a fiberglass surface, you simply wipe the contaminant away from the surface. A fiberglass container will not affect the pH of your pool water. IF you plot pH over time in a fiberglass pool, it will be flat. The only way pH is affected is by variables such as bathing load or acid rain. Over time the pH remains relatively stable. In a cement pool, however, pH fluctuates over time because of the alkalinity from the wall. It then ebbs and flows as you struggle to balance it. Since fiberglass pools more effectively maintain a balanced pH level, fewer chemicals are required. This results in numerous benefits, including reduced chemical cost and ease of maintenanc Pool Restoration Service Areas |
