Aquasports Buster Crabbe Above Ground Swimming Pools

Landi’s Buster Crabbe line of Aluminum above-ground pool models use heavy-gauge extruded aluminum construction for the walls and frame. For the weight, these pool components are exceptionally stiff, combining superior strength with a lightweight frame. What this means is, an aluminum pool resists bending or bulging under water pressure better than thinner steel walls. Our Aluminum swimming pool models are electrostatically polyester dry Powder coated, with 5052 H34 Marine grade alloy on all sizes – giving the metal additional rust protection and a hard, glossy surface that ultimately prevents dents and extends the pool’s life. This quality in materials equates to a Homeowner’s peace of mind that the aluminum pool can last for decades of use without structural fatigue.

Corrosion Resistance and Maintenance

• Rust-Proof Construction: Aluminum inherently never rusts, because it instantly forms a thin, protective oxide film when exposed to air. Plus, aluminum becomes stronger / tougher as it becomes cold, which is a major Win-Win in the Northeastern U.S. region’s climate! Simply stated, an all-aluminum pool (rails, uprights, wall & bottom tracks) like our Buster Crabbe models, are impervious to rust and corrosion.
• Low Maintenance in Wet or Coastal Climates: Aluminum’s corrosion-resistance means a pool won’t suffer in damp or seaside environments. Experts note that in humid or salt-air climates, “aluminum or resin are your friends,” whereas steel needs some extra care. Years down the road, any white chalky oxidation on aluminum is purely cosmetic – it won’t eat through the metal or weaken the pool. In short, homeowners enjoy far less up-keep preventing rust with an aluminum frame than with steel.

Summary

• All-Weather Strength: As mentioned above, aluminum stays strong in extreme temperatures, so an aluminum pool wall remains rigid (not brittle) through the winter season. The metal is also slightly more flexible than steel under load, which lets it absorb water pressure or ice loads without cracking. During hot weather months, the powder coat resists UV, and altogether our Aluminum pool models are well worth the nominal extra cost over steel ones as they won’t warp with normal temperature swings.

• An all-aluminum pool essentially offers the best of both worlds: metal strength with built-in rust resistance. They combine robust structural support with virtually hassle-free upkeep. For families planning years of swimming, aluminum’s durability, light weight, and extended warranty means more enjoyment and fewer maintenance hassles. In closing, choosing an Aluminum Pool is investing in long-term performance, and always remember that Backyard Fun Starts at Landi Pools!
