NEW Warranty from Viking Pools

NEW Lifetime Structural and 20-Year Surface Warranty from Viking Pools

In 1991, Viking Pools introduced its Crystite finishes to the North American market. At that time, no other US manufacturer was offering any other colors except White and Light Blue. In fact, up until about four years ago (2006) almost no other manufacturer producing pools in the United States offered anything but White and Light Blue.

In the nineteen (19) years since the introduction of Crystite, Viking Pools has manufactured, and our dealer base has installed, over 40,000 Crystite swimming pools. The performance of the Crystite finish has been outstanding relative to fading and durability.

Because of that exceptional performance over the past 19 years and the additional accelerated weather testing that has been performed to ASTM standards, Viking Pools offers a 20-Year surface warranty on all of its Crystite and Diamond Series fiberglass composite swimming pools.

Viking’s Crystite and Diamond Series finishes are a complex formulation of layered gel coats, colored flakes, sparkles and colored resins. The specific formulations create an available color palette with actual three-dimensional depth which transfers more light and color back into the pool water than other colored finishes.

As the largest manufacturer of fiberglass composite swimming pools in North America, Viking has produced more colored fiberglass composite pools than all other US manufacturers combined. You can enjoy peace of mind in your backyard knowing that your product is backed by the industry leading 20-year surface and Lifetime structural warranties.

Ceramic Core Technology

The heart of every Viking pool is its ceramic core. The
ceramic core is created from a proprietary process using
a combination of ceramics, silicates, resins, polymers,
and specific additives to create a swimming pool with
unsurpassed durability. The ceramic core is actually an additional layer of protection above and beyond standard fiberglass pool design and construction.

Ceramic core technology was first introduced into the swimming pool market in the early 1990’s. Since that time, over one hundred thousand swimming pools have been installed throughout the world with ceramic core technology and are performing to specification.

Tens of thousands of those pools containing the ceramic core have been manufactured by Viking Pools and installed throughout North America and the Caribbean; many of them installed in the most difficult of conditions.
By adding together the complex mix of components contained within the ceramic core, Viking is able to offer a product with greater structural strength, more impact resistance, enhanced expansion and contraction properties, and better waterproofing characteristics than more traditional fiberglass pool construction. The manufacturers of the ceramic composites list some of the advantages of their material in their technical data sheets as offering less shrinkage and warping, improved physical properties or strength in moldings, castings, and laminates, reduced water absorption, and improved chemical resistance. These are all characteristics that any homeowner would want in a swimming pool.

More layers, using greater structural and waterproofing components, equals better long term performance. Independent lab tests showed the Viking pool having the flexural strength of 41,796 P.S.I. Viking Pools added the ceramic core layer to give homeowners greater peace of mind for their investment. Viking recognizes that a swimming pool may be one of the largest investments you will make in your lifetime. Because of this, you expect it to perform to,
or exceed your expectations.

The ceramic core is one of the many reasons that Viking Pools offers a Lifetime Structural Warranty. As long as you own the pool, regardless of State definitions on lifetime warranties, Viking will stand behind our products with a true lifetime warranty. We also offer a one-time transferable warranty program in the event you sell your home. Unlike many other manufacturers, Viking does not limit you to a number of years on your structural warranty.
As the largest fiberglass composite swimming pool manufacturer in North America, and the only one offering ceramic core technology in North America since 1995, you can rest assured that Viking Pools understands how to build a pool to meet and exceed your expectations.
