The Most Common Mistakes To Avoid When Buying Fiberglass Pool

 

If you are planning to shop for a pool made from fiberglass, there are certain areas to focus on. It is necessary to make sure that you are not being callous in approach or else the entire effort and money being invested will go in vain. Here are the common mistakes that many buyers commit while shopping for a fiberglass pool.

 

Believing blindly the words of the manufacturer

 

Manufacturers will always try to speak the best things about their products. Whether you are interacting physically or going through the websites, manufacturers will never speak anything ill about their products. Therefore, never trust everything that comes out from the mouth of the manufacturer. You need to act carefully and figure out about the quality of the pool. A manufacturer who never provides a detailed written warranty of the pool shell, there’s definitely something to worry about. You cannot trust such a manufacturer. Keep in mind, the warranty must not only reflect on the structure warranty but also on the finish warranty as well. 

 

Paying too much attention to finish warranties is not a good thing (or is it)

 

Paying too attention on finish warranties is a not a good thing. I mean, whenever you are going to shop for fiberglass pools, you definitely need to focus on the finish as well shell warranty part. Both are important. A pool offering finish warranty less than 8-10 years is not a favorable option. Also, you need to be careful with the prorated warranties as well.  Say, for example, if a manufacturer is offering 9 years of finish warranty, then it will come down to 4 years of full warranty and 5 years of prorated warranty. And going through the disclaimers, you will notice that there will be not much of finish warranty to consider as well. 

 

Always keep in mind, the colored finish for your fiberglass pool is absolutely vital. Cheap color finishes fade away once your pool is a couple of years’ old. In fact, such pools are prone to blisters.  Unless you are careful enough during the shopping part, the entire situation can have such devastating effects. 

 

Never ever asking for references

 

A lot of buyers never ask for any reference. This is a common scenario and such a scenario allows the manufacturer to play their tricks appropriately. You, as a buyer, must ask for a whole lot of references. That’s necessary and it helps in understanding the product in details. Basically, a trusted pool manufacturer will always be eager to provide you with lots of references to let you learn about the quality and popularity of the product. There are different types of fiberglass pool designs. Reference definitely helps in the process. 

 

These above points are the most common mistakes that buyers commit while shopping for fiberglass pools. You, as a buyer, must not commit them since these mistakes can have an unfruitful impact on your shopping procedure. Rather, follow the suggestions being offered for best results.
