    Replastering with WetEdge - Does old plaster need to come out completely?

    Hello. I've received three quotes from reputable companies in my area (Maryland) to replaster my pool with WetEdge Prism Matrix. All recommend just removing the plaster around the tile and other fixtures (lights, etc.) and replastering over that with WetEdge as opposed to removing all of the...

    Thanks for the response! I have a pump that can keep the water level low if needed. Would love any other thoughts from the group!

    Do I Need a Spa Cover?

    I live in Maryland and am planning to close my pool in the next month or so. I have a round, built-in, concrete spa that sits about ~18 inches above the pool deck with a small (12 inch or so) spillover into the pool. I don't plan to use the spa during the winter since the pool will be closed...

    Taylor 2006-C - Water Doesn't Turn Pink When Testing for FC

    Taylor 2006-C - Water Doesn't Turn Pink When Testing for FC

    I've tested my FC and TC using my 2006-C testing kit each day for the past three days. Each time, the water doesn't turn pink when adding the powder (even with 10 scoops). This would indicate zero FC or TC. That said, I added 2lbs of shock to my pool this past Saturday and added three gallons...
