So, here we are at my own personal pool. The reason we chose this site is because so many people ask the question, “What kind of pool is that? Is that a gunite pool, is it a vinyl pool, is it a fiberglass pool?” Virtually nobody initially suspects it as being a vinyl pool. It is an illustration of some of the things you can do with vinyl that you were not aware of. So, the first question is, why vinyl and is it a good, long term solution? Well the bottom line is vinyl costs about 30% - 40% less than the next price-point in pool construction with fiberglass. It is about 50 – 60% less than gunite. Now, that is considered on a per gallon base. Then you have to ask the question, well, what is the long-term cost of ownership and I am actually going to be penalizing myself by going vinyl or am I going to be limiting what I want to do by going vinyl? I would say the answer to both of those is actually quite favorable to vinyl if we look at a real analysis of numbers over a long period of time. So, vinyl is going to be cheaper to put in but we all know that a vinyl liner is going to wear out. It is going to have to be replaced. The average cost of a vinyl liner is $2,500-$3,000, that is to resurface the pool. They last anywhere from 8 at the low end to 15 years at the high end but we have seen them go up to 20. They have no color by that point. Generally, before replacing them in the 10th to 15th year of use. So, we’ve got this expense that we’ve got to consider down the road. However, gunite pools have to be resurfaced typically every decade and the cost of the resurfacing gunite can be above $10,000 for a medium sized pool. Fiberglass is a really good option because they typically don’t need to be resurfaced, however, over time, if you have a colored fiberglass shell it will fade and to bring that color back, it is going to have to be sanded and that is going to be an expensive process as well, it is just not going to occur quite as frequently. So, the bottom line is when we add the numbers up, over a 25-year period, our cost of ownership with vinyl is going to be less considering how much less we put into it at the beginning and including those liner exchanges. This is going to be less than fiberglass and gunite. Another benefit of having vinyl is it can change the look of our pool. When it comes time to put a new liner in, if for any reason if we were unhappy with the liner that we have and If you want a totally different look, we want a different water color, all you have to do is pick a different color liner. This pool right here, we didn’t put a border, we were going for a very different look, it is a black granite liner. It is not a very popular liner but it produces a beautiful pool and a beautiful dark emerald color to the water. So, there are a lot of things we can achieve both in the beginning and over the long run with a vinyl pool that provides us options. Another question common to vinyl pools is what my limitations are as far as design. Frankly, you can build just about anything out of vinyl. There are some things that can only be built out of concrete. And of course, fiberglass, you are going to buy the pool as it is, and there are no alterations. It comes from a mold that is made around the mold and pulled off the mold and it is put into your yard as it is. The vinyl we can actually make it as big, as skinny or as short as you want it to be. We can make it virtually any shape. So, this pool is an illustration of some options you probably weren’t aware were available with a vinyl pool like full walk-in steps, a tanning ledge and walk-in steps. We can customize the bottom of the pool to achieve anything you want from a diving pool, to a resort bottom pool to a flat bottom pool. These things are incredible versatile.....
