Large colour chips – the secret why Compass Pools demand your attention

When making a fibreglass pool, each layer is applied to a mould using a specialised spray gun. When the colour layer is applied, manufacturers tend to use a combination of tinted resin, coloured dust and glitter to create an interior surface that looks more appealing than a plain single-tone colour. The problem is, this creates a plain, uniform finish across the pool surface with very little that grabs attention. When the pool is filled with water it often dulls down instead of coming to life. Many years ago, we recognised that to create a truly dynamic finish that looked natural and appealing, we needed to step away from this method and add bigger flecks of colour that caught the eye and enhanced the look of the pool when filled with water.

Large speckles of colour distributed across your pool surface is what catches your eye beneath the water

The problem when you spray large chips (as opposed to simple dust and glitter) through a spray gun is that the chips eat away at the internal mechanisms and wear the equipment out very quickly. This makes it uneconomical for manufacturers to maintain and deters them from using this approach. The thing is, we have a secret! We worked out how to modify our spray equipment to prevent this problem from occurring. Every Compass Pool is made using our large colour chip approach which means no two compass pools are exactly alike.  When coupled with our Biluminite dual colour layered system, you end up with a striking pool that cannot be compared to anything else on the market.
