The pool is FINALLY fixed right! There is life after EcoFinish installation screw-ups. It took three other pool renovators to undo the EcoFinish mess and put everything back to fiberglass walls and plaster floors but is is DONE!!!! I will post a new thread with all the details in the next week...

I had the fiberglass guy talk to the Plaster company and it was determined that the fiberglass walls needed to be done first after the floor was blasted and then the new plaster floor would be laid in. The plaster company is rated the best in the St. Louis area for redoing pool plastering and...

Well, there is Life after EcoFinish......FINALLY. If you have read this thread going all the way back to 2017 you know that we chose to have EcoFinish put on our pool in Nov 2017. After MANY trails and tribulations with the initial Pool contractor (which closed its doors earlier this year) and...

I am very sorry to hear about your troubles. My "EcoFinish" contractor shut his doors just a month ago but not before I filed a lawsuit against him and the sub-contractor that was the actual EcoFinish authorized installer. The insurance companies from both of those contractors are now involved...

I am the guy in St. Louis with the Fiberglass walls and plaster floor that had EcoFinish put on a couple of years ago and it was and still is a big mess. The original contractor (just went out of business a month ago) grounded out the fiberglass seems (they were not leaking before this) to prep...

As you can tell, I am pretty turned off of Ecofinish because of too many variables that didn't work for me and others that I heard from during all of these posting. I also did hear from someone that had a new pool that it didn't work for them, but you are right that the BEST situation would be a...

The "New" pool is that I have a fiberglass contractor that seems to really knows what he is doing that will re-fiberglass the walls to look new and then I am going back to a plaster floor like pebble sheen or something like that. I will post pictures of those finishes when they are done. i will...

Well, just like life, the life of a pool has many twists and turns that you don't always expect. The day before the blasting of the EcoFinish off of the pool, the contractor that I chose last fall got cold feet about using their big water blaster on the fiberglass walls and their concerns about...

I just received a call from my new plaster contractor and they will be coming over on June 5th to water blast the EcoFinish off of the fiberglass walls and the plaster floor. It may take a day or two to get it off since no one has any experience on removing EcoFinish off of fiberglass. Removing...

Yeah, hindsight is always best, but want I have heard from other Ecofinish customers around the country there are still problems and its not the great fix for everything and certainly like everything else, the prep and installer is about 90% of it.

New Fiberglass walls as the walls were in October 2016 and the Pebble Sheen for the flooring by Schilli Plastering. I am just trying to get back to a more traditional pool. I have had enough with the EcoFinish process. The product may be great in some applications BUT it still comes down to prep...

That's great news. I wish my install was as successful as yours. However I have fiberglass walls and a plaster floor and it seems that EcoFinish works a whole lot better when it is on a plaster pool.

Well, the lawyers were here at my pool on Friday along with the owners of the two pool companies that did the work. Jeff Fitterling from Pool Pros of St. Louis (main contractor) took this opportunity to announce that Pool Pros of St. Louis was closing after he announced earlier in the week that...

You ask a lot of questions and I have answers for all of them but since the lawsuit has now been served and filed with the courts I think it would be best to refrain from going into more details at this time. Let me leave you with a simple statement - This whole EcoFinish System, like so many...

Thank you and everyone at Trouble Free Pools for the forum that helps pool owners. I just wish that I had found this site long ago.

Since this post from RobStl was put on the thread as well as a message directly to me I feel I should post my message reply to RobStl on the thread so that everyone can understand that yes my pool is an older pool but we based our decision on having this done because of what we were told that...

Well, Good Luck with your pool. The weather has been up and down here in St. Louis. My pool re-do is scheduled to start later in May (of course by other pool companies than who did the work 2 years ago).

Unless things changed in the last year, there is only one authorized trained company that installs the EcoFinish in the St. Louis area and that company is in Illinois. The one company in St. Louis that advertises that they do it DOES NOT do the actual application of the EcoFinish and brings in...

I have seen that too in my pool when the EcoFinish did not stick to the pool. Bad prep work.

Thank you for the information. I will keep it on file in case the new contractors are not able to get the EcoFinish off. Can you tell me how your pool contractor removed the EcoFinish from your pool?

I feel you pain. Getting NOTHING from the Pool contractor and the lawsuit is being filled any day now. Hopefully the weather will get better soon and the new contractors that will be UNDOING everything that the EcoFinish contractors did so that I can go back to a fiberglass / gunite pool. Once...

My update to the "EcoFinish Pool wall questions" thread may have to be put on a new thread since I didn't know that there had to be activity within 60 days. Anyway,. It has been 2 plus years without a pool because of the VERY poor attempted install of the AB product by the main pool contractor...

Just back on the site since last September but I am still without a pool for 2 plus years and counting because of the poor install process by the main contractor and the authorized AB trained installer that was sub-contracted. Now will have to have the AB stuff blasted off and get some...
