Will get the water tested for metals while I grab the brush. Will get pics in the morning. Will call PB bright and early :whip: Plastering occured yesterday.

I will hit the pool store tomorrow for the brush. I ran two hoses, ~14 hours. Thanks again for all of the input. As the color has turned from green to more clear, I can see some "imperfections". For example, vertical streaking on 1 corner, a dark impression on the wall, and an orange...

Got ya. The brush the PB left is what I would describe as a whale tail... I did notice that it "chattered" the first time on the down stroke. So I switch to up-stroking the walls. :oops: Just completed my 2nd brushing of the day -- not much cloudiness, I shall brush 2x again tomorrow...

For posterity -- thiis what the coping showed up as... If by chance anyone else reads this and is considering brick coping -- be sure to prepare your builder that this wouldn't be acceptable, and is *not* remedied by sealer. These are the worse pieces.... but ya... half the pallet was like...
