Why San Juan?

Fiberglass has many benefits. Less maintenance and upkeep, along with greater flexibility and strength, make a fiberglass pool the obvious choice. So you might ask yourself, with all of the fiberglass pool manufacturers in business, why buy a San Juan fiberglass pool?

50 years of experience and quality is the simple difference. In fact, more than half of all San Juan customers are second-time pool owners. Experienced pool owners are drawn to San Juan fiberglass pools because of their durability and low maintenance. No other company has made and installed more fiberglass pools throughout the world.

The San Juan Difference

San Juan recognized the advantages of building fiberglass swimming pools in 1958. We built our first fiberglass swimming pool in Seattle, WA. Amazingly, that pool is still in use, is still attractive and is still durable. Since then, more than 70,000 satisfied customers from around the world have made San Juan their swimming pool company of choice.

The RIO hotel in Las Vegas, NV could have chosen any type of pool, or manufacturer to build two pools for its spectacular high roller suites atop the hotel. They chose San Juan because only the best materials and manufacturing processes can ensure many years of trouble-free service.

The Importance of Pure Vinyl Ester Resin

San Juan Pools uses vinyl ester resin throughout the entire laminate structure. Vinyl ester resin is the toughest, most impenetrable and expensive resin used in the fiberglass pool industry today. It costs more to build a pool this tough, but experience has shown San Juan that only premium quality vinyl ester resin can ensure we are building the most durable, high quality and long lasting swimming pool available. Other fiberglass pool companies only use a skin coat of vinyl ester resin with the majority of their pools built using cheaper general purpose resins.

The Gel Coat Difference

The satin smooth gel coat finish of a San Juan pool is achieved using an NPG-Isophthalic resin that is applied approximately 32-mils thick during two applications. This is approximately 30% more than the industry average.

Tile Made to Last

Frostproof, acid resistant ceramic tile is placed on the fiberglass shells using a silicone adhesive. This silicone contains an inhibitor that deters algae growth in the joints and under the tile. The use of silicone grout makes the tile a permanent and lasting enhancement to your San Juan pool.
