15 yr old vinyl pool on fourth liner replacement converted to fiberglass. Learn differences between the coping, patio, steps, and seats of fiberglass and vinyl liner pools.
Fiberglass pools obviously better than a vinyl liner pool. However I found it amusing that the presenter shows you a vinyl liner pool that was abandoned and collapsing as a comparison.
If you live in a warmer climate year round, a fiberglass is the way to go. If you live in an area where you experience all four seasons, you should do the vinyl liner pool for they are equipped to handle the harshness of winter way better than a fiberglass. It all depends on how well you maintain and take care of your pool chemistry that will determine the life of your liner. It could 15+ years before you change it.
you may not like his presentation but as a liner pool owner everything he says is correct ..... and more !!! from day one there were small imperfections in the bottom... a couple places where there were small "humps" you could feel while standing on the bottom ... at the 2nd year my pool began developing creases in the liner bottom and by the third year they were all over the bottom. During my 4th year the pool began leaking and I was told I would need a new liner installed at a cost of $4700 . after talking with other liner pool owners they were having not only the same issues but other issues as well, stains ,discoloration, tears in the liner and also the liner coming loose from the seam around the top edge of the pool .... My advise is to "beware of a liner pool"
Wow...this pool needed a $3k liner and they would have been good to go for another 10 years. You really suckered them into this fiberglass pool. How much did you charge them? $30k? $50k? Unbelievable. If you have a vinyl liner pool do not listen to the advice in this video. Even the concrete coping "finsihed right to the edge" in this video you can easily do with a vinyl pool. In this case the coping having been aluminum likely would not have needed to be replaced at all but you could elect to do so if you wish. Why pay $3k for a liner when you can pay ten times that for a much smaller pool.
This seems a little biased. I've had an inground 16x32 pool for 28 years. My husband and I with 2 friends have replaced the liner 3 times. All you have to do is drain the pool, take the old one out, line the new one up, put it into the coping and refill with water. Our local pool company overcharges for the liner & installation. We've gotten all our liners from an online pool company for 2200-2600, depending on the pattern. We only had one leak in all those years, was easily fixed with vinyl patch. We replaced them because the sun & chemicals faded them after years & years of service. I would never consider fiberglass.
Hardly what I would call unbiased information. Tough to trust what he says. Feels like he is just 'salemanipuling' you. Yea. I just made up that word. Lol.
We've converted several fiberglass pools to beaded vinyl liners. Fiberglass pools bust under ground pressure. and are overpriced garbage. You can buy a liner for $1500 and it can last 15 years. Fiberglass is garbage.

This is not a "vs" video. This is a sales video.
I want to put that boat in the pool.
wow they got 15 years out of it , could have replaced the liner themselves
So let's say it would cost me 3500 to replace the vinyl. How much are we looking at to convert the pool to fiberglass
$35,000
