Wet-Mix Shotcrete
THE BEST METHOD TO FORM YOUR POOL
At Gary Pools, we exclusively use the Wet-Mix Shotcrete process when building our pools. The main difference is in how and where the concrete is mixed.
The Wet-Mix
Uses the same ready-mix concrete process that is used for home foundations, roadwork, and almost everything else. The concrete is mixed at the batch plant via a highly-controlled process and delivered in large ready-mix trucks.
The Dry-Mix
Is unusual in that the mixing is done on-site, by the nozzleman. He adjusts the mix based on his experience, no real-time measurements are made, and the process is without assurances.
This can be a little confusing because many local pool builders don’t know the difference and call everything Gunite! Our pools last a lifetime, and we can only make that happen with consistency in our concrete, so we build with Wet-Mix Shotcrete.
Swimming Pool Steve does a good job of breaking this down in a great video.
