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 it would even out after the acid wash and hot start. We are on day 3 of the hot start and the problem areas are becoming more prominent. It seems like this is a problem that should be addressed, but this is my first pool build. My old PebbleTec pool in Arizona had none of these issues- but we didn't build that one so i'm not sure.
The pebble type is NPT StoneScapes Midnight Blue.
Here is the time line so far:
4/8 - pebble installed
4/9 - acid wash and fill started
4/10 - fill complete
4/11 - PB added acid for "hot start"
4/18 - PB scheduled to neutralize acid and "start up" the pool
Thanks in advance!
