One important consideration when choosing the right swimming pool is the material it is made from. A pool should be constructed using the very highest quality materials if it is to be safe, secure and durable enough to withstand even the heaviest usage demands over a period of many years. Resins are particularly important as these protect the pool from water damage. The more water-resistant your pool is, the less chance its structure will be weakened over time.
Groundbreaking resins from Compass Pools
Instead of the polyester resin used in many fibreglass pools, we at Compass Pools use only the highest quality vinyl ester resin, which has a positive impact on the water resistance of the pool shell. Our specially formulated resin is always mixed fresh, so it will continue to keep your pool safe and strong for as long as possible. It can also be tailored to suit your individual needs and the climate where you live.

Anthony Cross: So Paul you’ve mentioned a lot about vinyl ester resins. You tell us that you’ve searched the world, you’ve been to the factories, you’ve sourced out the best product. But I also am aware in my role that you’re bringing these products in, particularly the vinyl ester resin and you’re reformulating them here in Australia before delivering them to our factory. What is important about doing that? Why is that something that you guys do?
Anthony Cross: Paul, you’ve worked with Compass for quite a few years. I guess it’s fair to say we do things a little differently to a lot of other fibreglass pool manufacturing companies. I know that you’ve spent a fair bit of time with us and your involvement stretches back many years, particularly with Ian Mewett who is the founder and owner of Compass Pools. What can you tell us about that collaboration between you and Ian and how that’s shaped your involvement in our industry and particularly with Compass Pools?
Anthony Cross: One of the people who is instrumental in the R&D efforts here at Compass Pools Australia particularly with our gelcoat and colour technology is Paul Bennet from Trojan Fibreglass. Paul sources the best raw materials from all over the world and then he carries out his own testing onsite and reformulation. I’m going to ask Paul a few questions about this today.
So Paul, just tell us a little bit about how that works and why it’s so important to get the best raw materials and best result for Compass Pools.
