Slide 2: 

There are two major types of permanent pools: fiberglass and gunite. Gunite is a mixture of cement and sand which is poured against rebar to create the body of the pool. Visit us @ Pool Builder Tucson

Slide 3: 

It is similar to shotcrete, however, shotcrete is poured wet while gunite is poured dry. Visit us @ Pool Builder Tucson

Slide 4: 

One of the major benefits of a gunite pool is that there is no end to the flexibility and versatility that this kind of a pool can have. Visit us @ Pool Builder Tucson

Slide 5: 

It can be shaped into any shape and made fit any size back yard. It can also be installed in places where a fiberglass pool wouldn’t be able to be installed because a crane can’t be fit into it. Visit us @ Pool Builder Tucson

Slide 6: 

Many people may not know that the pool in the White House and pools used for Olympic Games are made out of gunite. Visit us @ Pool Builder Tucson

Slide 7: 

The material is extremely durable and strong, and can be a permanent improvement to the home where the pool is constructed. Visit us @ Pool Builder Tucson

Slide 8: 

The gunite is relatively inexpensive and solid. Unlike lighter pools, water can be safely drained out of it and the pool will stay in place. Visit us @ Pool Builder Tucson

Slide 9: 

This is particularly beneficial when it comes to cleaning the pool, as sometimes it is much easier to replace the water than it is to keep adding chemicals to purify it. Visit us @ Pool Builder Tucson

Slide 10: 

The plumbing is installed while the pool is being set up. The main draw of this type of a pool is its long life span. Visit us @ Pool Builder Tucson

Slide 11: 

It is well suited to Arizona climate because the main enemy of concrete is the freeze-thaw cycle of colder climates. Visit us @ Pool Builder Tucson

Slide 12: 

It is important to note that while gunite pools are very beautiful and can conform to too many shapes, they do take a long time to set up. Visit us @ Pool Builder Tucson

Slide 13: 

Building the pool and pouring the gunite can take eight to twelve weeks. The pool will need to be plastered and can be customized with a variety of finish options. Visit us @ Pool Builder Tucson

Slide 14: 

Some owners prefer to use colors to make a statement. Others use anything from glass to pebbles to create unique look. Visit us @ Pool Builder Tucson

Slide 15: 

Gunite pools do require regular maintenance. This is particularly true in a hot climate where algae growth is a problem. Visit us @ Pool Builder Tucson

Slide 16: 

They require regular cleaning and chemical treatment of the water to decrease algae growth and create optimal swimming conditions. The plaster usually needs to be replaced every ten to fifteen years. Visit us @ Pool Builder Tucson

Slide 17: 

However, with proper maintenance, gunite pools can last a very long time. They are solid, can’t be punctured or scratched up from overuse, and are a good decision for a climate where pools can be used every day year-round. Visit us @ Pool Builder Tucson
