All their info I have ever found says acrylic coated aluminum with foam in the middle.
From the metric page
“When it comes to pioneering innovation and superior structural integrity, it is what you don’t see that counts! Radiant Pools are engineered from technology originally developed for the NASA Space Program. Our 2-inch thick insulated wall panels are constructed of a closed-cell expanded polystyrene (EPS) foam core bonded between 2 sheets of durable acrylic-coated aluminum. All polystyrene used is treated with environmentally safe insecticides to prevent any insect infestation, guaranteed. Tested and proven for over 60 years! “
I'll be darned. I thought they were all (as in every single part) resin.
So, since the Auroa Saltwater is the only true all resin pool, I guess that means that there are no all resin pools, but with rigid panel sidewalls like the Radiant.
It also seems to only come in 54". Double darn. I am looking at replacing my 27' x 48" pool in 2-3 years. It's getting to that point. Only problem is I have an existing deck around 30% of it or so. The less digging I need to do to get the new pool to line up with the deck, the better.
Maybe when the time comes they will have more options.
