What do you all think of fiberglass?

I'll look into it - but we havent had an algea problem at all and we have the clorine floater on the lowest level. Perhaps it is because I am in Phoeniz, AZ where it doesnt rain ever. The wife tests the levels every few weeks and all is well. We also took a sample of water to Leslie's last week while shoping for a cover and it came up "good". Perhaps we need to get a better testing kit as ours just does PH and Chlorine levels...thanks for the info!

This mourning I arrived at the only Fiber glass pool I clean. It was a total mess from hell. I figured it would be a little messed up considering the huge rain and dust storm we had last Thursday and that all my pools thus far has been that way. But this pool was nothing but Alge and dirt I was very surprized to see how easy it was to vacuum up all the Alge. It sucked right off the walls and didn't leave much for me to brush...I stilled brushed the pool down afterwards. The Chlorine was around .2 and the PH around 7.4. I shocked the crap out of it brining the chlorine up to around 3+ and the PH around 7.8. Then I dump a half bottle of some Alge Terminator in the skimmer and will doose it out the rest of the week. The pool looks like a new pool with just a few hours of work. I talked with the owners and we agreed it's probaly better to clean that pool twice a week instead of once a week. That once a week is a PITA since they got to much foilage around the pool.

Anyways, thats my experince with a FB and it reinforces my liking of them.
