Have him do it first thing so it’s not part of the continuous pour.

- Thread starter Aquagenarian
- Start date
What about the part
and then pull the paper off from the part that goes over the spillway?

@AQUA~HOLICS what do you think this red color is on my shotcrete? I just saw it after taking down a scaffold.

Does it appear to you to be only on the surface or throughout the thickness of the Shotcrete?
Looks surface I think but I’m not positive…doesn’t look like rust
Don’t know what it could be but it shouldn’t have an effect on the plaster application, if you want you could show the picture to your plaster company and see if they have any concerns.
To be on the safe side I would make sure all of this is in writing of some kind. Written on paper with their signature would be best but barring that an email would work.
I scrubbed it with dish soap and vinegar then pressured washed it. Came right off. Looked like cool aid. It appears to be in the surface and I also recently saw some forming on some thin set that the tile guy left inside the pool. Appears to be surface.
Most plaster crews will do a thorough cleaning of the Shotcrete to ensure that the plaster application will bond properly and most likely that stain would have been removed.
Pebble install is tomorrow
it’s shaping up to be a 72 day build from dig to fill.
My start up guy can’t come until Monday. I’ve read I need to start the pump filter asap once it’s filled to help with dust. Should I add de to my filter? My panel isn’t yet configured. Can I run pump without? Also how do I put spa in bypass so I don’t accidentally run dirty water through heater?Almost done! Acid wash and Fill day
Yes add the required amount of DE to a bucket then add water to the bucket and mix it by hand into a slurry then add to the skimmer slowly with the pump running. Plaster dust will be at a minimum due to the acid wash. Brush the pool to keep the debris in suspension and not in one spot on the floor of the pool till your start up guy shows up on Monday.
Supply a picture of your equipment set up to help explain how to run in bypass mode.
