Installing the hybrid pool

[ScritchScrch]

You know, my dad's been in the pool business forever, installing fiberglass and building gunite pools for years.
But lately, he's started getting these weird requests from people wanting to combine the two, like a hybrid pool setup.

He's looked all over online, but he can't seem to find much info on how to actually do it, or if it's even a common thing. It's really stumping him.

So, I want to help him, and come here. Is there any available information out there about these hybrid pools and how they're installed? any insights are appreciated!

Hey, hybrid pools aren't that common but they're definitely a thing. Since they are just basically combining fiberglass shell with custom gunite features. It's a little complicated since you gotta blend materials carefully to avoid cracking or leaks. Best bet is reaching out to specialty pool builders where you're at or wait here for pros to share their experience. Good luck helping your dad out!

How exactly would you integrate fiberglass components into a gunite pool shell without running into long-term bonding or structural issues?

It's really important to bond things carefully and ensure the joints have some flexibility. This way, you can prevent any annoying cracks or separations between the materials.

Okay, I have to ask, why would someone go for something that's a leak risk even if just one little thing isn't done right? I'm not doubting anyone's skill set, but this is getting ridicilous.
