Acrylic is basically a polymer/plastic based material that provides an affordable alternative to glass splashbacks. Although acrylic splashbacks are more cost effective than a glass splashback, their inability to withstand moisture and UV damage make it an inefficient choice. The reason for the material's inability to withstand water exposure, in addition to breaking into smaller pieces, is due to the fact that it is not a very dense material and is brittle. These two factors combined make acrylic a less than perfect material for use on the exterior of your swimming pool.
Acrylic also does not retain heat well. Heat will evaporate quickly off of acrylic. This means you will need to use an umbrella to shade your pool during the hot summer months. You will also need to remove any furnishings and accessories from your pool before cleaning up any mess left behind by your guests after a swim. The best solution is to use a garden hose to get the chemicals out of the pool and then wash up with a garden hose again if needed.

Acrylic splashback is not easy to install. They can take up quite a bit of space in your pool area, so make sure that your pool is large enough to fit the acrylic backdrop. You will also need to have enough space on either side of your pool to install the acrylic backdrop. If you do not have enough space you may have to remove some decking around the edge of the pool to create enough space. Many of the new pools that come with a vinyl splashback will be installed with acrylic backs.
Acrylic splashbacks do not last long. In fact, most will break in as little as three or four years and will need to be replaced within a few years if you want them to last much longer. The biggest benefit of using acrylic splashbacks is that they are easy to clean. They are relatively inexpensive to purchase and are also a very low maintenance material that is easy to maintain as well.
Before using acrylic splashback make sure you thoroughly inspect the pool to make sure there is not anything stuck to the surface. If you find a problem that needs to be fixed then, take note of what the problem is and try to fix it yourself. Also check your pool's liner for any problems that could be fixed. Most vinyl splashbacks will have a warranty against breakage.
If your pool needs a change then you should contact a pool service center to get quotes. The cost to replace the vinyl splashback alone can be expensive.
