Gunite pools
Report
We build Gunite pools. Gunite is pneumatically applied concrete, which can achieve strengths of 6000 to 7000 PSI (cast in place concrete is usually 3000 to 3500 PSI). Gunite's strength is the result of the dense packing of the material as it is sprayed, as well as the fact that a relatively small amount of water is required to hydrate the cement. Aboveground Pools
Report

This is a great place to shop for all your pool needs. Building a pool this is the place. Everything you need is at your disposal. I have been buying from National Pools for the last 5 years and staff is always courteous and extremely helpful. You bring your water sample and they'll give you a print out for all necessary chemicals. I was not an expert in keeping the pool but now with their help I am a novice and can hold my own.
They help keep the fun in running a pool. I highly recommend National Pools as the one stop place for anything dealing with pools. Of course everyone has a right to choose where to buy.

I have been a very satisfied National Pools' customer for at least 15 years. During my numerous visits, the experienced and professional NP team has always been courteous, helpful, and resourceful. Our family's in-ground pool is in an environment that, unfortunately, encourages the growth of algae. The NP team readily helped us to create a regime that has greatly minimized the challenge.

This is a famous 2nd generation swimming pool company tied to building White House Swimming Pool built for President Ford.Long ago they were taught how to build that pool and quality comes first as does design.I knew the former founders in Alexanderia,VA. and was lucky to know Gary Rudd.Yes many of these fine men not here but there fine work stays as does this great company,

I have an above ground cheapo backyard pool. But everyone at NP has always treated me as though my pool was as big or nice as anyone else's. It's now 6 backyard pools later and I learned I dont need to know alot about chemicals and how to use them.They make it simple! I buy strictly from them, they know exactly what I have and what I need to keep my pool sparkling! I really look forward to my weekly visits and I even stop in in the winter sometimes just cause it miss it!
