Yes, you read that correctly. Lifetime.

Leisure Pools offers with each composite fiberglass swimming pool a Lifetime Structural Warranty, which is often a difference-makers for homeowners trying to decide between a traditional gunite/cement swimming pool or other fiberglass pool manufacturers.

So what does Lifetime Warranty mean?

It means that Leisure Pools, subject to its standard installation and operating conditions, will warrant that each composite swimming pool shell will hold water by maintaining structural integrity. Leisure Pools conditions of the Warranty are available here and through Metroplex Pools, a certified dealer and installer.

What the heck is an Osmosis Warranty and why would this be of interest to you?

An Osmosis Warranty means that Leisure Pools, subject to its standard installation and operating conditions, will warrant that each composite swimming pool shell will not suffer from structural Osmosis failure. Leisure Pools conditions of the Warranty are available from each Leisure Pools dealer.

What is Osmosis in swimming pools? Osmosis refers to the physical manifestation of hydrolysis of the Polyester Resin within the fiberglass reinforced layers, that eventually results in internal pressure build-up and blistering and structural weakening of the swimming pool.

Leisure Pools is the only company to use full Corrosive Resistant Vinyl Ester Resin on every layer of the swimming pool construction. And it has a patent pending to be the only manufacturer to offer a full Corrosive Resistant Full Vinyl Ester Resin Construction.

Leisure Pools' Composite Armour™ is a revolutionary new technology in composite swimming pool manufacturing.

This patented technology is designed to significantly reinforce the composite swimming pool with a strategically integrated laminate that consists of a blend of DuPont™ Kevlar®, Carbon Fiber and Basalt Fiber. We call it our Core of Strength.

By using Composite Armour™ in the pool shell laminate, Leisure Pools has been able to achieve tremendous improvement in flexural and tensile strength compared with normally constructed fiberglass pools.

Leisure Pools' patented Composite Armour™ is available for the entire Leisure Pools range of swimming pools.

Testing shows that a Leisure Pools Composite Armour™ Full Vinyl Ester Resin Swimming Pool is 111% stronger than a standard fiberglass swimming pool.

Leisure Pools manufactures each composite fiberglass swimming pool using Corrosive Resistant Vinyl Ester Resin for each layer of the swimming pool construction (except the gelcoat color layer). As a result, Leisure Pools is able to offer a Lifetime Structural Warranty and Lifetime Structural Osmosis Warranty.

Just FYI: standard fiberglass pools are made up of a number of layers: Gelcoat Color Layer, Corrosive Resistant Vinyl Ester Resin with Fiberglass Layer, Structural Polyester Resin with Fiberglass Layer, and Polyester Resin Finishing Layer.

One of the key layers that has been introduced into fiberglass construction over the last 20 years has been the use of a Corrosive Resistant Vinyl Ester Layer, which is a high performance resin that provides improved strength properties and inhibits water penetration into the laminate, a process commonly referred to as Osmosis.

Standard fiberglass pool manufacturers only use Vinyl Ester Resin in one layer as Vinyl Ester Resin is generally double the cost of a Polyester Resin, which is a cheaper resin used to provide bulk. Unfortunately, even with this one layer of Vinyl Ester Resin, Osmosis has still on occasion appeared and swimming pools have failed using this standard manufacturing method.
