Does the fiberglass wall concrete bottom pools have seams around the pool that leak?
A. Yes the convenience of the fiberglass wall concrete bottom pool’s design does necessitate seams every eight feet or so along the pool’s perimeter. These are sealed during construction with an incredibly tough and resilient material that lasts often ½ of the life of the pool. Normally the pool’s seams will be touched up and/or resealed during some maintenance in the next 20 years of its long life span. You’ll probably only do this once, if at all, during your trouble-free ownership of the pool. There are many advantages to this style of pool construction. #1 is the cost due to not needing a crane to set the pool as with the one piece fiberglass pool types. #2 is the cost savings of the freight to get your pool to your location. This cost often exceeds $3,000.00 – $4000.00 per pool for the one piece fiberglass pools. #3 is the distinct advantage that if a part of the pool walls ever needed to be replaced, you could remove a single panel instead of the whole pool.
