Glimmerglass Pools & Spas

An in ground fiberglass swimming pool is a big and long term investment. So what are the important questions?
What is the warranty? The warranty should be available and clear. Glimmerglass Swim Spas and Pools, Inc. offers a lifetime warranty on the structure of the pool. It will not break or leak for the time you, the owner, have the pool. Our warranty is based on proper installation.
We do not warranty the surface or Gel coat finish of the pool. Why? Usage can not be determined as every owner is different. Glimmerglass will say that the finish is very durable, you can let your dog swim in one of our pools and not worry about damage to the surface. UV rays have their way with all pool finishes and over time fading occurs. The fading is gradual and can be curtailed by waxing the exposed pool surface with car wax when opening and again when closing the pool. If a company is warranteeing a surface on a fiberglass pool, find out exactly what it covers.
There are not a lot of fiberglass manufacturers around but we all adhere to certain standards, and we all use the same materials from the same few companies.
Osmotic blistering is becoming a thing of the past because we are all using Vinyl ester resin as a water barrier.
It is the vinyl ester that is the determining factor in this barrier, not any fillers that may be added.
Another common question that needs to be addressed is the weight of a pool.
Is heavy better?
Glimmerglass pools are basically under a ton in weight. A fiberglass pool should be constructed in a uniform thickness but does not need to be extra heavy. Strength is not determined by the weight but the flexibility of the fiberglass vessel.
Flexibility must be part of the structure to withstand the pressure of the earth and the movement of thawing and freezing.
And you should ask yourself if you feel that the company you choose will remember you when the final payment is made?Your long term investment should come with a ready answer to any of your questions and concerns once you have your pool up and running. We at Glimmerglass are proud of our good customer relations and our status as an A+ member of the Better Business Bureau.
Always contact the Better Business Bureau for any company you are considering.
