Gunite pools are famous for their durability and versatility. Some benefits or Pros of gunite pools include the following:
- Durability: Gunite is concrete sprayed onto a pool’s framework using high-pressure air. This creates a robust and durable surface resistant to cracking and chipping.
- Customization: Gunite pools can be built in any shape or size, making them a good option for homeowners who want a unique, custom pool.
- Low maintenance: Gunite pools do not require as much care as other pools. They do not require special chemicals or coatings to maintain their surface and are resistant to algae growth.
- Energy efficiency: Gunite pools can be equipped with energy-efficient pumps and filters, which can help to reduce energy costs.
- Long lifespan: Gunite pools have a long lifespan and can last for many years with proper maintenance.
- Versatility: Gunite pools can be finished with various materials, such as tile, plaster, or quartz, to create multiple looks and feels.
Cons:
- Cost: Gunite pools are generally more expensive to install than other swimming pools, such as fiberglass or vinyl.
- Maintenance: Gunite pools require more maintenance than other types of pools, as they need to be resurfaced every 8-12 years to prevent cracking and deterioration.
- Construction time: Gunite pools take longer to construct than other pools, as the gunite mixture needs to dry and cure before the pool can be used.
Overall, gunite pools offer a durable, customizable, and low-maintenance option for homeowners who want to add a swimming pool to their property.
