FIBERGLASS FAILURES

My 23 year old 15X32 one piece fiberglass drop in pool needs a new topcoat(Gelcoat). I searched on the Internet for a source to buy a Gelcoat for my pool, but to my dismay, I could only find one source that was not a manufacturer or a wholesale distributor, and none of these sources offered any warranties. Will the UltraGuard product workwell on my pool surface and does your product offer any warranties

I am sure you found out there are over 130,000 listings on the Internet about Fiberglass Gelcoats, and as you noted, no national manufacturer or distributor is willing to offer a quality Gelcoat for any swimming pool. Your one-piece fiberglass pool, when first manufactured, had a thick Gelcoat placed on the mold first, and then the fiberglass shell on top of that. By manufacturing a pool in this manner, the Gelcoat could not extrotherminate (overheat) and the life expectancy with this application should be about 20 years.

A Gelcoat placed on top of a fiberglass shell to be used for harsh swimming pool conditions, will never be warranted by any large manufacturer such as Rohm and Hass, Shell Petroleum, or Interplastics. The life expectancy for this type of Gelcoat application is no more than 5-6 years. Interplastics, who is the largest manufacturer of Gelcoats in the country, will never recommend one of their Gelcoats for a retrofit on an old pool and certainly would never offer any type of warranty.
