If AB pools exist that are 10 years old and their surfaces are still in good condition, then that places them in the sane league as plaster pools. Because while we say that plaster pools last 30 years, that's simply not reality. The truth is, a plaster surface, on average, will probably last about 10 years before it starts to look shabby. My pool is a little over 4 years old and needed a plaster patch for a crack and delamination. The patch looks terrible because the rest of the plaster color is faded which occurred in about year 3. Plaster fading happens IN EVERY PLASTER POOL. So, if AB can maintain its color and uniformity 10 years out, then it has exceeded what a plaster pool can achieve. That, plus the chemical stability, makes AB a better performing surface.
