Hi Everyone, Well....finally the plaster applicator has agreed to re polish the pool. It took contacting the president of Wet Edge who in turn has been in contact with the applicator.

Thanks for the explanation!

I forgot to add the SWG is not running. The idea was to problem solve the plaster problem before adding the salt.

Hi again, The footprints are back.:pale: The service guy came Monday & brushed. He did not go back Tuesday, instead he came yesterday said the Polaris sweep was good to vacuum and left. (We will not be using his services anymore) I went to the pool location yesterday and when I opened up the...

We have a Polaris sweep which is in the pool and working. Do we need to hand vacuum in addition to the Polaris? We also have a salt water generator but have not turned it on or put salt in the pool as yet. The pool contractor said to wait until we got this issue cleared up with the plaster. Any...

I spoke with a rep at Wet Edge. They said the scale that was removed by the acid wash is sticking and that the pool needed to brushed repeatedly, then vacuumed & a sequestering agent put in the pool. My understanding was the pool contractor was supposed do to this the 2+ weeks that the acid...

Yes I understand. Unfortunately, we don't live full time at the pool location. At the moment we are trying to get through the immediate crisis. And all the comments from this forum have been very helpful. My test kit is on order and I will be doing as much as I can to maintain the pool! (All my...

Just to be clear...pool was finished in November of 2016. Footprints & marks first noticed at the end of Jan.(see photos above). The marks got worse as time went by. The plaster applicator began a no drain acid wash 3 weeks ago, 5/1/2017. 1 week ago, Friday, 5/12, they added 25-30# bag of soda...

the plaster dust is slimy?

There is actually a cloudy residue when the plaster is brushed.

Hi All Well the applicator did an acid wash. They did not remove the water. The stain and foot prints are gone (see my pictures of these below). The plaster looks good. I don't know the exact procedure that was followed. (We do not live full time at the pool location) and even though we asked...

Been in contact with Wet Edge. Yes, you would think they would have a vested interest. They sent me back to the applicator, saying they had not seen the pool and so could not comment on the solution the applicator was proposing. I will be able to take pictures this Friday and will post here as...

Hi, I will post pictures this weekend! The applicator is proposing an acid wash treatment which, after doing some reading on this site, I realize is not the answer. onbalnce, the TFP expert, says the plaster should be polished Wish me luck as my husband & I enter into battle.:(

We chose a Wet Edge premier stone finish for our pool. You can see foot prints on the bottom, and marks that look like they were made by the polishing blade all along the bottom where the bottom meets the walls of pool. In addition there is a large platter size dark spot on one of the stairs...

The temp swing can be great...daytime hi's in the winter lo50's and nighttime we will hit freezing temps occasionally but I'd say the average is low 40's hi 30's. That's usually Dec. & Jan.

From what I understand about the heat pump it won't work during the colder months. We have solar and are wanting the propane heater to extend the season(s) we can use the pool.

My pool contractor is planning on installing a 400K propane filed heater. The propane company says we need a tank with 50' of the heater. Our problem is we have no access to provide a truck to refill. The propane tank we do have is about 2 football fields away. Any comments welcomed!!
