FAQ

A gunite pool is a type of inground pool that is highly durable and customizable. Gunite, a mixture of cement, sand, and water applied through a high-pressure hose, forms the pool’s strong structural base, which is then finished with plaster, tile, or stone.

Choosing a gunite pool means investing in unmatched durability and endless design flexibility. These pools stand out for their ability to be crafted in virtually any shape or size, offering you the freedom to customize your pool to perfectly suit your space and personal style. Whether you dream of a classic rectangular pool, a free-form lagoon, or an intricately shaped artistic masterpiece, gunite is the material that can bring those visions to life.

Moreover, gunite pools excel in accommodating a wide range of custom features. From elegant custom steps and relaxing tanning ledges to captivating integrated waterfalls, gunite pools allow you to enhance your swimming experience and backyard aesthetic with unique elements that reflect your lifestyle and preferences. Opting for a gunite pool means choosing a personalized retreat tailored to your desires, promising years of enjoyment and beauty.

Gunite pools not only elevate the aesthetic and functional aspects of a space but also deliver a genuine and luxurious swimming experience.

The construction timeline can vary based on the complexity of the design, size of the pool, and weather conditions. On average, the process from excavation to finishing touches takes about 4–6  months. We strive to minimize any inconvenience and keep you informed throughout the process.

The perception that swimming pools are significant energy consumers has been altered by recent technological advancements, which have reduced the average pool’s electricity usage by about 66%. These innovations focus on efficiency and sustainability, ensuring that owning a pool is more eco-friendly and cost-effective than ever before. Here’s how:

• Energy-Efficient Variable Speed Pumps: These pumps can use up to 75% less electricity compared to their single-speed counterparts. By operating longer at lower speeds, they not only save energy but also keep the pool cleaner and clearer with constant, gentle circulation.
• Energy-Efficient Heat Pumps: Opting for a heat pump over traditional gas heaters can lead to energy savings of up to 80%. These pumps efficiently extract heat from the air to warm the pool, significantly extending the swimming season with minimal energy use and cost.
• Automatic Covers :With the simple press of a button, automatic covers keep unwanted guests and debris out of your pool. They also play a crucial role in heat retention, reducing the need for heating and, consequently, energy consumption. Solar blankets take this a step further by harnessing the sun’s energy to warm the pool, also reducing the demand on heating systems and chemical usage through minimized evaporation.

Maintaining a swimming pool has become significantly easier with advancements in technology and equipment.

Innovations like automatic cleaners, salt-based chlorine generators, ozonators, and automatic covers have transformed pool maintenance, making it a more straightforward and less time-consuming task.

These tools handle much of the cleaning, chemical management, and debris protection, cutting down on manual labor and allowing more time for enjoyment.
