If you plan to host parties, you\u2019ll need a larger pool.<\/p><h3>Q: Can I Use PVC Pipe Instead Of Steel Bars?<\/h3><p>A: No. PVC piping is installed to carry water to\/from your pool and to contain power lines.\u00a0 Rebar is to reinforce your concrete structure.<\/p><h3>Q: Why Is Gunite Better Than Fiberglass?<\/h3><p>A: Gunite lasts longer, does not leak as much, and withstands damage much better than a fiberglass pool.\u00a0 In addition, you can build any shape imaginable with gunite, whereas fiberglass pools tend to be used for less elaborate designs.<\/p><h3>Q: What Kind Of Pool Pump Do I Need?<\/h3><p>A: Your pool pump needs to be sized to the number of gallons of water in your pool.\u00a0 We recommend variable-speed pumps, which are more efficient and longer-lasting than older single- or dual-speed pumps.<\/p><h3>Q: How Long Will It Take To Construct My Pool?<\/h3><p>A: Depending on the size of the pool and the materials used, construction can take anywhere from 1 to several weeks.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What Is a Gunite Pool?
