I'm looking to purchase a home with a pool. My previous pools have all been gunite, but looking at a house with a fiberglass pool.
To look at it, it looks fine. Hate to admit that I wasn't perfectly sure what type of pool it was, so I stuck my hand in the water and ran it across the wall. Pretty sure it was fiberglass, anyway running my hand along it coated my fingertips with what looked like dust, and the wall of the pool had finger tip streaks on it like when you run fingers through dust on furniture-- is this just poor maintenance?
Also, I had never previously seen a pool before that had seams in the wall, as if it had been put together from multiple pieces-- these weren't wrinkles in a liner. Are there multiple piece fiberglass pools?
thanks to all for the help.
