Catalina Pools are Manufactured to Last a Lifetime!

A quality fiberglass pool is manufactured from expensive, high quality raw materials. The quality is controlled from start to finish. A strong pool is delivered to your backyard and is ready to be installed quickly. Not all manufacturers use the same products. A quality fiberglass pool should be warranted for a lifetime due to their structural superiority. Check your warranties. Catalina Pools carry a limited lifetime warranty.

Stronger Than Concrete?

Fiberglass materials are used to manufacture airplanes, boats, the space shuttle and to strengthen freeway overpasses to withstand earthquakes. Fabrication of a fiberglass pool shell requires handcrafted laminations enabling the fabricator to exercise rigid quality control. This results in a durable shell having approximately ten times the tensile strength and 17 times the flexural strength of gunite. Concrete is a rigid product. Because it is inflexible, concrete must have expansion joints to allow the concrete to crack in a designated place. Due to inherent flexibility of one-piece fiberglass pools, they possess a higher resistance to structural failure, and are not damaged by freezing.

Floating Pools?

Just about everyone has heard the story about fiberglass pools "floating" or "popping" out of the ground. Fortunately, common sense tells the true story. The theory of displacement applies to pools, just like boats. Regardless of what a pool is manufactured from: concrete, steel, fiberglass or wood, if watertight, the pool or boat will float, but that is only if the level outside the pool shell is higher than the water level inside the pool. The force of gravity holds all pools down. Fiberglass pools do not just "pop" out of the ground.

Quick and Easy Installation!

Everyone knows someone who has had a gunite pool built. The construction in the yard can last for months, whereas the fiberglass pool is delivered to the job site ready for installation. It is not manufactured on the site. Installation of a fiberglass pool can be completed in a matter of days.

Relax, Enjoy Your Pool, Less Time Spent on Pool Care!

Fiberglass pools require very little maintenance. The less you do, the better they look. The reason? The smooth, non-porous surface of fiberglass doesn't leave room for algae to hide or dirt to fall into it, thereby, minimizing long hours commonly associated with pool cleaning. It is also gentle on your pocketbook, skin, and swimwear. The occasional sweep down of your walls and keeping your chemicals up is simple and takes very little time.

A Fiberglass Pool is a Permanent Home Improvement!

A fiberglass pool is a permanent home improvement. You do not replace it in a few years. The structural integrity of the pool shell is such that it can be moved from one location to another should the need arise.
