It’s all about developing our outdoor living space for you and your family to grow into.

Lifetime Structural Warranty

As we mentioned above, all of our fiberglass pools ship with a Lifetime Warranty! This warranty is an important part of our product that protects you and your investment. Based solely on the ways that our fiberglass pools are manufactured, Imagine Pools is able to guarantee their longevity because they stand behind their product.

Developed by a team of experienced professionals, Imagine Pools produces some of the finest swimming pools available on the market today! Comprised of fiberglass & Vinyl Esther Resin, our fiberglass pools are designed to withstand any Osmosis effects.

Osmosis is a problem that used to plague fiberglass pools and cause “bubbling.” Since then, new materials have been developed to prevent this problem. It’s the reason why Imagine Pools is able to offer such an amazing Lifetime Warranty policy.

Much Faster Installation Than Any Other Pool

So, how is it that we can install these fiberglass pools in such a short time frame? To put it simply, these pools are manufactured offsite which saves us time constructing the product in the field.

Our primary objective is excavating our hole. Before the pool arrives, we shape the length, width and depth of the hole to match the swimming pool. Therefore, once our delivery arrives at your home all we need to do is offload the swimming pool and set it in our hole. Of course, there is always some slight adjustments to make but our prep-work makes that minimal.

Lastly, once the pool is set in the ground, we run our plumbing and electrical lines. Then we add in the back-fill material and fill with water. After those steps are completed, you now have a beautiful fiberglass pool for your home and family!

Continuing Our Fiberglass Pool Installation

You’ve guessed it right! We’re hard at work again in the field completing another aspect of a swimming pool installation! This week we’re installing our Automated Pool Cover for the Fiberglass Swimming Pool installation that we covered a couple of weeks ago.

Just a quick recap: this fiberglass pool required a large amount of plumbing to be custom measured & cut. Our client reached out to us when they identified that they needed assistance with this complicated aspect of installing a their swimming pool. So we showed up and helped them get the job done!

Secondly, we poured our Concrete Deck which we sub-contracted to Silver Brothers, Inc. located in Hoopeston IL. During that phase of the construction process, we had to be careful to pour our concrete deck using Stegmeier Forms and set our Polybox. The Polybox is what will house our Automated Pool Cover when it is not in use.

This image shows our Polybox (black rectangular box) which will house our Automated Swimming Pool Cover. Polyboxes are perfect compartments for this type of swimming pool accessory. It's also a necessary component that allows us to store and essentially "hide" your automated pool cover when it is not in use.

It’s also a necessary component that allows us to store and essentially “hide” your automated pool cover when it is not in use.

The Final Phase: The Automated Pool Cover

Now that we’ve set our Polybox and prepared our space for our Automated Pool Cover, let’s take a look at our installation. The Automated Pool Cover includes two parts:

  1. The Cover – this is a custom component that needs to be measured to fit each specific pool shape
  2. The Motor & Railing – the motor is what drives the opening & closing aspect of our safety cover. The railing allows it to slide smoothly and has to be installed prior to pouring our concrete deck.

The Cover itself is custom designed to fit our swimming pool exactly. It’s often easiest to install these covers on rectangular swimming pools due to the parallel shape of the opposite walls, but they can be custom made to fit nearly any shape. Secondly, the covers come in several different material selections – each offering unique characteristics. We’ve included a comprehensive guide explaining the benefits of these covers if you’d like some additional details.

Lastly, the motor is the driving force behind our safety cover system. These components are near and dear to our service hearts and need to be inspected and maintained each season to ensure proper operation. If you’ve got a safety cover or would like to purchase once, we invite you to give us a call for a free estimate!

The Benefits of a Automated Pool Cover

Automated Pool Covers are valuable additions to your swimming pool for many different reasons, including:

  • Enhanced Safety – close the cover when the pool is not in use and lock the control box with a key to prevent children from accessing the on/off switch
  • Fits Various Pool Shapes – our rails can be installed above or below deck depending on the layout of your swimming pool
  • Electricity Savings – by covering your swimming pool, you’ll save hundreds on heating cost. Your water will stay 8-10 degrees warmer during periods of non-use.
  • Multiple Color & Fabric Options – we offer various fabric types that provide different benefits. Of course, we’ve got the color selection to fit nearly any design as well.
  • Extended Swim Season – by covering your pool you prevent heat loss, which increases the length of your swim season by nearly 2-3 months!

As you can see, the benefits of adding a Automated Pool Cover to your home are numerous! We believe that this product category fits right in with our business model and enhances our products and services for our customers.

Here we're finishing up the final touches of our cover installation. Our safety cover will wrap around this steel cylinder. This keeps the material smoothed out and wrapped tightly when not in use.

Adaptable to Several Pool Shapes

As we stated above, these Automated Pool Covers are perfect additions to your backyard and can be installed on nearly any pool shape! Of course, there are various installation methods to fit your pool shape; it’s also dependent upon if this is a New Construction or Renovation Job.

Essentially, what it comes down to is: will the railing system be installed above or below deck. One new construction installs, we utilize “encapsulated railing” (it’s encapsulated within the deck) and provides a “hidden” look.

Conversely, if you have an existing swimming pool but want to add on a Automated Pool Cover, we will mount the railing system above deck. This is known as an “exposed railing” system.

If you’re curious about what type of Automated Pool Cover you’re able to add to your home, just give us a call. We will visit your home, collect measurements & pictures and provide you with an in-depth proposal for what we have to offer.

The Benefits of a Fiberglass Pool

  • Lifetime Structural Warranty
  • Smooth Gel Coat Finish
  • Lower Chemical Maintenance
  • Fast Installation
  • Compatible With All Sanitizer Types

We certainly did our homework before offering a fiberglass line to our customers. We wanted to ensure we selected the very best in manufactured products.

Unlike all other swimming pools, Fiberglass is manufactured in a factory and undergoes rigorous quality inspections before it is approved to ship out. Each Fiberglass shell is produced from a pre-fabricated mold so that each shell is the exact same shape, size and dimensions. When you browse our line of fiberglass pools, you will be shopping for the exact shape and size for your backyard! Now that’s an easy online shopping process!

A Full Menu of Choices

As stated above, Imagine Pools focuses their efforts on producing 8 brilliant designed pool shapes. These shapes were designed, tested and redesigned until Imagine determined they were perfect for the marketplace. Kristie Cheatum visited the Imagine Pools factory in February 2018 to see for herself what Imagine Pools was all about. Since then, we adopted this product line and are excited to offer it to the residents of Iroquois County and other surrounding areas.

Below is a gallery of the entire Imagine Pools line up. Each pool model has between 3-5 different sizes and 7 different colors.

Not only are these pools shapes uniquely designed and guaranteed to provides hours and days of enjoyment, but they are also built incredibly well! These swimming pools are composed of 7 – 21 layers (depending on the location in the pool) of Fiberglass & Vinyl Esther Resin. The key word here is Vinyl Esther Resin – a blend of Osmosis Resistant Material placed on both the inside and outside of the pool shell.

These swimming pools are manufactured with a manufacturer lifetime warranty on the shell. The Vinyl Esther Resin material is the reason that Imagine is able to offer this amazing warranty! Imagine goes down to the molecular level of how these pools operate once they are in the ground. They remove the molecular affinity for water which means your shell will remain strong, intact and resident to conditions taking place below ground. Pretty amazing stuff!

Our fiberglass pools can be paired with any time of deck (travertine shown above), accessories and water features. This image shows the elegant "Oasis" pool model with an automated pool cover. You can see the gorgeous Ocean Blue gel coat finish, which contrasts nicely with the ivory travertine deck! Simpy beautiful!

Comparing Fiberglass to Other Pool Types

In relation to other types of swimming pools, i.e. Gunite (Concrete), In-Ground Vinyl or Above Ground; fiberglass pools are in a class all of their own! These pools shells are unique from their manufacturing standpoint, manufacturer warranty and gel coat finish. There is not another swimming pool on the market that offers a gorgeous and smooth Gel Coat Finish.

The Gel Coat provides an extremely smooth and comfortable wall texture for the swimmer. These walls are gentle on your feet, provide a nice grip and beautiful polish. Not only can you select the shape and size of your fiberglass pool; you can also choose one of 7 gorgeous colors!
