Johnny Weissmuller Pools

[JoshU]

Not all of the Johnny/Esther pools are extruded, only the higher end models.

As far as correctly installing the pool: I agree 100% but, it only takes a pinhole liner leak or gasket problem to cause a wall to rust out. Some brands are protected better than others against these problems. But even the most expensive steel pools can run into rust problems. We've sold 1000's of pools over the years and now we're selling mostly aluminum walls because of rust issues with the steel walls.

I am having my 15 x 30 Johnny Weissmuller pool installed as I type. It is extruded aluminum. I was confused as which to get also - steel or aluminum. Pool stores didn't seem to be any help whatsoever because obviously, each pool store is going to put down the others product although neither seemed to promote the resin for some reason. Maybe it was the cold Michigan winters....?

Personally, I work in the steel business (bars, not sheet) but know first hand just how easy it is to develop a rust problem with bare steel. So I went with aluminum - nothing scientific - just a personal choice. The pool I bought comes with a 40 year warranty so I felt OK in my decision.

Thanks for all of your replies!

I purchased a 15' x 25' Johnny Weissmuller pool yesterday. I decided on this because the aluminum seats seemed so much more stronger than the steel ones. Next, finding an installer .....
