Barrier Reef Pools

Tony Walton, owner, said, “I got my start in Australia with my sister then in 2009 decided to bring the pools. The reason I started it in America because I seen an opportunity to innovate the market.”

Barrier Reef Pools last up to 30 years but well maintained they can last up to 50. Barrier Reefs got their start in Cairns, North Queensland, Australia. In 2009, Barrier Reef started a factory in Timmonsville, South Carolina. The entire company produces 3,500 pools a year.

Barrier reef pools have sellers from Texas to Ontario, Canada to our own county in Friedensburg, Pennsylvania. With Robert Schaffer, ’95 alumnus, co-owner of Bob’s Pools, Inc. Robert Schaeffer is the Eastern Pennsylvania Barrier Pools distributor.

Barrier Reef’s process of building a pool from the inside to the outside. It all starts with the making of mold. Then the pool is sprayed with a gel coating that has two layers: the outer has high resistance agents UV and fade resistant the inner layer that protects against harsh weather conditions. The second is the vinyl resin layer acts as a waterproof membrane that protects against corrosion. The third layer is the fiberglass reinforcement layer; it reinforced the pool and makes the pool structural sound. The final layer, the sealing layer, combines the last three layers and it keeps your pool with a guaranteed trouble free life. The whole process takes 3 to 4 weeks.
