One piece Ceramic shell

[UKjames]

I’m thinking of re doing my pool. One place uses an all in one shell made from carbon fibre and ceramic apparently. This is then craned in to place.

I wondered if anybody had any experience Of these?
Here they go under the brand of
“Compass pools”

Do you have a link that shows their process?

Reading the literature, it looks to be a fiberglass shell with a ceramic layer added for strength. And due to the rigidity of true ceramic, it's most likely a blend of ceramic with other materials. I don't see any issues with the shell as described.

Page 12 references ceramic micro-spheres. If that’s the only ceramic, then those are just a filler material in the resin to reduce weight and are sometimes used for insulating properties. Not sure how much insulation benefit they actually provide though. I suspect it’s more of a side benefit with the primary reason being used to fill out the resin.
