What is the best type of Inground Pool?

Are you still indecisive about what inground pool to build? Diamond Sea Pool can help you decide with our carefully selected types of inground pool construction. With us, you are always sure that we offer the best tips and information for your next pool installation. If you are installing a pool in your backyard, there are many types to choose from. A popular choice is a gunite swimming pool because it is highly durable and it can be created in just about any shape. 


Gunite

Gunite pools use a rebar framework that is sprayed over with a concrete and sand mixture. Gunite is exceedingly durable, so swimming pools made of this substance are built to last. The versatility of gunite swimming pools means more than the ability to create an unlimited array of shapes. Pool owners with gunite pools can also choose from a variety of finishes to coordinate with the rest of their outdoor living area. Plaster finishes come in an array of shades to coordinate with the pool decking you choose. Other finishes can be created from pebbles or glass for a truly unique, high-end look in your swimming pool. Homeowners can also opt for a variety of features to be attached to gunite pools including waterfalls and custom steps. The flexibility of the material means you can customize a swimming pool to your specific taste and budget.


Optimum

Now you can enjoy an inground pool, no matter how uneven the terrain is in your backyard. Slopes or hills are no problem for Optimum! With 2-inch thick insulated wall panels, all aluminum and stainless steel construction, Optimum is made to be installed inground, semi-inground, or built into a slope. Optimum is also ideal for waterfront property where the water table is high which typically prohibits traditional inground pool construction.


Vinyl

A vinyl liner pool has a custom-made sheet of vinyl between the water and the pool structure. Vinyl liners typically lock their top edge, called a bead, into a track located on the bottom of the coping, which is at deck level. Underneath the liner is a sand or cement-like floor, specified in dimension to the "cut" of the liner that is to be used. The floors come up to meet the walls, which are commonly 3 ft by 8 ft panels made of galvanized steel or thermoplastic. These walls are supported from behind so that they won't bow out against the weight of the water. All of the wall panels are secured together to make up the perimeter shape of the swimming pool.


Fiberglass

A great advantage is that fiberglass pools can usually be installed very quickly sometimes as fast as a few days! The time frame will vary depending on how long it takes for excavation of the pool site and electrical work Because they are so smooth, fiberglass pools are more resistant to algae formation and maintain more stable pH levels. Another bonus is that fiberglass pools never require resurfacing or liner replacement.
