Why Choose a Fiberglass Pool? Benefits, Installation, and What to Expect

The Perfect Low-Maintenance Pool for Your Backyard

If you’re considering adding a pool to your backyard, fiberglass pools offer one of the best combinations of durability, efficiency, and low maintenance. At Southern Pool Co., we specialize in high-quality fiberglass pools that provide a sleek, long-lasting, and easy-to-maintain solution for homeowners in Mooresville, NC, and surrounding areas.

In this guide, we’ll cover the key benefits of fiberglass pools, how the installation process works, and why they might be the right choice for your home.

What is a Fiberglass Pool?

A fiberglass pool is a pre-manufactured, one-piece shell made from strong, flexible fiberglass material. It arrives at your home ready to be installed, significantly reducing construction time compared to other pool types.

Benefits of Fiberglass Pools

1. Fast Installation

Unlike concrete or liner pools, which can take weeks or even months to install, fiberglass pools can be ready in as little as 1–2 weeks. Since the pool arrives pre-formed, most of the work involves excavation and securing the shell in place.

2. Low Maintenance

Fiberglass pools have a smooth, non-porous surface, which means less algae buildup and fewer chemicals required for maintenance. Homeowners can enjoy crystal-clear water without excessive scrubbing or frequent chemical balancing.

3. Durability & Longevity

Fiberglass is highly resistant to cracking and doesn’t require resurfacing like concrete pools. A well-maintained fiberglass pool can last decades with minimal upkeep.

4. Energy Efficient

Fiberglass retains heat better than concrete, which means lower heating costs and more comfortable swimming conditions throughout the year.

5. Smooth & Comfortable

Unlike rough concrete surfaces, fiberglass pools have a smooth, gel-coated finish, making them comfortable for swimmers and gentle on feet and swimsuits.
