People love swimming pools for their ability to have fun, stay fit, and relax. They can be found in a wide range of settings, from a backyard personal pool to water park wave pools. They all work in the exact same way. They use a combination filter and chemical treatment to clean large amounts of water.
Pool prices will vary depending on the size and type you choose. They also vary by region so make sure you discuss your options with experts such as Gilbert Arizona Pool Service before you make a decision.
Fiberglass Pools
A fiberglass pool is the cheapest type of inground pool available. It’s also easy to install, as it’s already manufactured. This pool is also low-maintenance due to its nonporous gelcoat material, which makes it less likely that it will stain or support the growth algae.
Installation is quick and can be completed in just a few days. Despite the pool’s low cost, it is important that you consider the maintenance costs.
Concrete Pools
As the name suggests, concrete pools are the most durable and long-lasting type of pool. Concrete pools can be made from either wet shotcrete (which is made of cement and sand) or dry shotcrete (which is made of smaller aggregates and sand).
Both methods result in strong, well-built pools. Wet shotcrete works best for residential pools. Dry shotcrete works better for commercial and competition pools.
Some pool contractors specialize in both construction methods. They may recommend that you choose one method or the other based on your budget, location, and personal preference.
Although most pools are meant for recreational use there are a few that are specifically designed for competition. They are usually indoor and heated to allow year-round use. They also have specific lighting and temperature requirements.
The most common pool materials are vinyl liners and concrete. Both can be resurfaced after a certain amount of time, but they require more costly maintenance over the years.
