I have not contacted them, but thank you for the tip! I will contact them tomorrow.

Got ahold of the PB today and they said that the plaster guy spot treated the pool and were told it “looks better” by the plaster guy. I asked the PB what part of the pool they treated and he didn’t know. The only difference I see is that the butter /cream is a brighter blue, but the pebbles...

That makes sense. I will be following up with them tomorrow. Hopefully what they did yesterday doesn't make it worse or impact the rest of the pool that turned out well. At this point I'm thinking it might just be better to leave it how it is. I guess I was hoping someone from the PB would...

No instructions or communication in any manner. I only know that they were here this morning because I got an alert from my driveway camera and saw a guy carrying a 10 ft pvc pipe and a couple gallons jugs of what I assumed was acid. He left after about 15-20 mins

So it's a month later and the PB finally had the plaster company out to "look" at the pool. Apparently the guy showed up at 7:45 am this morning (according to my ring camera) and he apparently dumped a ton of acid in the pool and left. I have no idea how much he added as he didn't ring the...

Thank you for your input on this. I will certainly keep an eye on the color- hopefully it does fade over time. I have had a few other workmanship issues with this builder that seems to stem from them not inspecting the work of their subs. As JoyfulNoise said, it looks like the acid etch was...

Thanks for the tip on the water driven sanders. I will definitely ask if they can sand it rather than add more acid.

I have been brushing twice a day per the PB's instructions, and I have been putting extra effort into the problem areas. I sent the PB some photos and he said that this is normal and to stay the course with the hot start / twice daily brushing. He is also going to send someone out to look at...

Thanks JoyfulNoise, that makes me feel better. Taking another look at the before/after acid wash photos I can definitely see what you are saying about a possible inconsistent acid etch/removal of the plaster cream.

Thanks Toxophilite- I had a bad feeling it might be something like that. I wasn't sure if the pebbles in that area were missing or if they weren't exposed and are under some of the concrete. I will be having some words with the PB on Monday...

Long time reader, first time poster here. We are wrapping up construction of a pool at our new house and have noticed some variation in the color and consistency of our pebble installation. The variation looked pretty obvious immediately after the plaster, and i was thinking (hoping?) that...
