you can change the pools surface to fiberglass. but the method to do so is not the greatest solution to your question if the gunite is covered with fiberglass. there is a system that used to be used in the 1990s called fiber tech. fiberglass was sprayed and applied over the existiing surface.this left a very uneven surface that over time would break down and expose the fiberglass mesh and create small shards that would be left to poke into the swimmmers feet and body upon coming in contact with any exposed areas. If a fiberglass surface is what you desire due to the great surface and durability of fiberglass(it lasts a lifetime and is maintenance free) the best solution to obtain this is to have a new fiberglass one piece shell swimming pool installed into the existing gunite pool. Its not cheap but the end result is a great pool that will stand the test of time with no maintenance ever, as long as you maintain you pools water chemistry, and the pool is properly installed by a qualified fiberglass pool installion professional with knowledge of the pool in pool procedure. You will be able to create a whole new backyard experience with all the newest design apeal and latest water feature and technology like automation and chlorine generation(salt pool) (AWESOME) AS maintenance free as it gets. Gunite lookes great when new but soon becomes a maintenance nightmare depending on the climate in which you live. Go fiberglass and you will never be sorry. happy Surfing.The coastal water pool pirate?
It shouldn't
No, a pool using a salt water sanitization system will not cause premature corrosion of the steel reinforcing rods within the gunnite. The steel reinforcing rods are fully encased in gunnite and are not exposed to any water at all. The only way water could corrode the steel rods would be if the gunnite cracked allowing water to leak out and into the gunnite. Hope this helps ...
glass you can see through and fibreglass you can not
From what I have read is that gunnite can be worked into the soil. I would presume this to be done by either shovel or rototiller with appropriate breathing protection.
Not gunnite. Plastic lined MIGHT be OK
no
all i know is fibreglass is on boats pools are made of it and fibreglass is a fibre
One of the companies that manufacture fibreglass ponds is actually Fibreglass-Ponds in the United Kingdom. You can order from their official website as well as contact them over the phone.

Fibreglass tanks are good but for the concrete tanks they are provided with a anti corrosive layer which prevents it from corrosion and they are also very strong. It is better to shift to concrete tanks
