ᐅ Stainless Steel Pool Accessories

Hello!

We have planned an 8 x 4 meter (26 x 13 feet) liner pool with a skimmer (no saltwater). Today, our pool builder presented us with two offers: one with plastic accessories (skimmer, lights, inlets and outlets, etc.) and one with stainless steel accessories. If money were no object, we would choose the latter, but that’s not the case. Stainless steel parts cost about 50% more than plastic. My question is: What did you decide on and why?

Best regards

Clearly, stainless steel always looks much better. We also have a pool of a similar size. The ladder is made of stainless steel, the rest is plastic. The accessories have actually been in use for a few decades now. The chlorine doesn’t seem to have affected the plastic. And if your items only last “just” 15 years, you can still replace them if needed. But I don’t think it will necessarily be required.

Today we also decided on the plastic option, as the price difference was simply too large for us. Structurally, we will already create the necessary setup for an in-ground cover (which is planned for a few years from now).
