FAQ

What is a gunite swimming pool?

A gunite pool is a type of concrete swimming pool built by spraying a dry concrete mix combined with water through a high-pressure hose over a rebar framework, creating a durable and customizable pool shell.

What is the difference between gunite and shotcrete pools?

Both gunite and shotcrete are forms of concrete used in pool construction. Gunite is a dry mix with water added at the nozzle, while shotcrete is a pre-mixed wet concrete. Gunite offers more flexibility in application, making it popular for complex designs.

How long does a gunite pool last?

Gunite pools can last 50 years or more with proper maintenance. While the structural shell is extremely long-lasting, surface finishes (like plaster or pebble) typically need to be resurfaced every 10 to 15 years.

Are gunite pools rough on feet?

Gunite pools can feel rougher underfoot than fiberglass or vinyl pools, especially with standard plaster finishes. However, smoother or pebble-based finishes can be chosen to improve comfort and minimize skin irritation.

Is salt water bad for a gunite pool?

Saltwater systems can be used with gunite pools, but the salt can accelerate corrosion of metal components and may wear down plaster more quickly if not properly maintained. Using the right finish and equipment helps minimize these effects.

How often does a gunite pool need to be resurfaced?

Most gunite pools need to be resurfaced every 10 to 15 years, depending on the finish used, water chemistry, and overall maintenance. Common signs it's time include staining, rough texture, and surface flaking.

How often should you drain a gunite pool?

Gunite pools should generally be drained every 5 to 7 years, or when resurfacing or major repairs are needed. Draining should always be done by a professional to avoid structural damage caused by hydrostatic pressure.

What finishes can be used in a gunite pool?

Popular gunite pool finishes include plaster, quartz aggregate, pebble finishes, and glass bead blends. These offer various looks and textures, from smooth to natural, and affect durability and comfort.

Are gunite pools customizable in shape and size?

Yes. One of the biggest advantages of gunite pools is complete design flexibility. They can be built in virtually any shape, depth, or configuration, allowing for custom features like tanning ledges, waterfalls, and vanishing edges.

What is the maintenance like for a gunite pool?

Gunite pools require regular brushing, water balancing, and surface inspections to prevent algae buildup and surface degradation. Investing in quality finishes and automation systems can simplify long-term maintenance.
