A pool company is coming in tomorrow to RE-RE-plaster a pool after doing a subpar job the first time, and after that experience, I decided I should probably avoid trusting them as much as I did the first time. After doing some research I asked that they wait six hours to start the adding water, which they very vocally disagreed with. They also were not able to tell me industry standards for mixes of the plaster, which also raised some red flags for me. Unfortunately, I'm stuck with them at this point (since they're already having to redo the job). I feel like my best bet is to try and babysit as much as possible to try and avoid any more issues.
I've read some resources online that strongly recommend waiting at LEAST six hours to start refilling a replastered pool, but other resources (and the contractor I'm using) adamantly demand they begin the filling process immediately.
Both sides claim that "their way" prevents potential long term defects. Does anyone have any advice on this? I'm extremely skeptical of the NPC's guidelines, especially since a lot of people think they have the interests of the service provider in mind and not the consumer. I was hoping for some less controversial resources on the subject, or maybe something more definitive.
