4. What Kind of Pool is Right for Me?
Your lifestyle and overall yard size determines the right kind of pool for you.

8. What is the advantage to using Shotcrete vs. Gunite?
Gunite is the material that has been used for years in pool construction. It’s a mixture of sand and cement, dry mixed onsite and pushed through a three inch hose using air generated by large compressors. Water is added inside the nozzle tip with a special water-ring, the amount controlled by the nozzleman. The material exits the nozzle as a wet mixture under pressure which adheres to vertical walls. It is in this method of application that Gunite encounters problems. The integrity of the mixture depends entirely on the accuracy of the onsite workers. There are no controls or regulations that result in a dependable, consistent, accurate mixture.
Inconsistencies in the mix of dry materials and water result in decreased and erratic pressure ratings of less than the recommended 2,000 psi. Coring tests conducted on various parts of walls in the same pool confirm these inconsistencies. What this means is a pool with weak walls which are subject to cracks and leaks.
