Why We Don’t Build Gunite Pools

Gunite, marcite, and concrete pools are the same thing, just different names for them.

  • Acid Washing/Baths
  • Excessive Use of Chemicals
  • Sensitive to Algae
  • Expensive Plaster Repairs
  • Etching
  • Repainting
  • Complete Pool Re-plastering Every 3-7 Years at $3500.00 to $8000.00 NO JOKE!
  • Excessive Use of Electricity – because pump must run longer, to inject more chemicals, to keep algae from building up in the concrete poors.
  • Concrete Shows Through the Marcite/Granite Finish
  • Very Very Rough & Abrasive Surface
  • Plaster/Marcite Pops Off When the Automatic Cleaner Sucks Against the Bottom of the Pool and Pulls Off the Marcite Skim Coat.
  • Prone to Stains and Discoloration
  • Skimmer- Common Leak Site

Southern Ground Shifts Causing Gunite Pool Shells to Crack, But Won’t Affect our Fiberglass Pool or a Liner Pool.

IT IS MUCH CHEAPER TO REPLACE A LINER THAN TO RE-PLASTER A GUNITE POOL!!
