When you’re finally ready to build a swimming pool, you’ll want to do everything possible to maximize your enjoyment & improve the lifespan of this project.

Choosing ICF or Insulated Concrete Form construction vs. steel wall pool construction has significant benefits.

Concrete vs. Steel Wall Construction:

Much Lower COst of Heating

First off, the ICF walls have two layers of thick, 2″ hardened foam insulation on both sides.

This double insulation provides dramatically lower costs in heating.  ICF Concrete Pools often lead to 60% reductions in heating costs.

Lower costs of heating means you’ll want to keep your pool open longer in the fall, and open it up sooner in the spring.

You’ll want to do everything possible to get the most enjoyment out of your pool, and having superior insulation empowers you to gather at the pool more often.

Why are steel wall pools so much more expensive to heat than our ICF pools utilizing insulated concrete form construction?  Well, steel wall pools are great conductors of heat, meaning they have a cooling effect on the water.  The vinyl liner next to the steel wall efficiently draws out heat from the water.

Steel wall pool construction has a higher cost of ownership and heating, than an ICF Swimming Pool.

No Rust From Your Salt System

Salt Water Systems are superior to chlorinated systems for many reasons.

Steel wall pool construction does not mix well with a saltwater pool system.

Steel walls can rust and erode, leading to leaks and then eventual catastrophic failures.

A leaking pool from a rust spot is an expensive & frustrating problem to have.

Better Compaction of Soil = Longer Lasting

The ICF Swimming Pools system allows for better backfilling & compaction.

What does that mean?

Well, Steel wall pools have support systems behind them to hold them up.

Those steel wall support systems prevent the builder from compacting the soil behind the pool.

Lack of compaction leads to heaving, shifting & movement.

If you don’t compact well enough, your beautiful pool deck will shift, split, and lead to water damage.

Besides that, the steel is more open to shift & move, compared to reinforced concrete inside the insulated form.

If you want your pool & pool deck to last longer, then you owe it to yourself to choose a NEHER Pool System, which is built with Insulated Concrete Form construction vs. Steel Wall Swimming Pool Construction.

Deeper Pools

Our walls are also thicker than the steel wall, leading to more water and a deeper swimming pool.

Complete Customization Options

Steel wall swimming pools are usually built out of kits, which often limits your customization options.

Our concrete pools enable us to create all sorts of customizations, to ensure we get the most out of your yard & pool area.

What’s a better in-ground pool system? Steel Wall Pools Construction vs. Insulated Concrete Form Pool Construction?

It can be hard to make decisions when you’re building a swimming pool, and we make choosing an amazing, long-lasting, high-enjoyment swimming pool easy.

Using Insulated Concrete Form Construction is just one factor that goes into our overall Plan Pool Swimming Pool system, but it’s a major differentiator between Neher Pools & other Pool Builders or Pool Installers in Omaha, Lincoln, and surrounding areas.
