It's been a long time since I've posted here. I am having some challenges with my plaster and my pool builder is blaming chemistry. A couple of months ago they did an acid bath to try and take care of some discoloration issues, and it made it worse. So they drained the pool and did an acid...

I’ve had the hot tub for a month now, and it seems like every other day I Have to add dry acid to stay below 8 on the PH. I understand why I need to do this every few days on my new gunite pool, but why on the acrylic hot tub? Is the swg in it require that much? I’ve used it sparingly as it’s...

It's polished scapes.

Almost looks like a backyard again!

It was worth it to me for the smooth finish for the kids. Looks beautiful too. I think it was a 3k upgrade.

Almost finished with the project. I had to have them build a wall for my outdoor kitchen as the wind was really messing with my grills. Sprinkler/landscaping repair in progress and should be complete next week.. hopefully done with construction for a while! SWG should be turned on week after...

So the PB owner came by today and said all pools have “spider cracks” and that the pool looks fantastic and thinks it’s one of the better plaster jobs he’s seen. This from a company that does 300+ a year. I don’t know what to believe. They clearly don’t want to go back to the sub and make them...

Not sure where else to ask this so hopefully y'all can help. The pool school from the PB was less than helpful. So I have a VS 2.7HP pump, and a Booster Pump for the pool cleaner. Do both have to be running in order for it to work? Does the filter pump need to be running 100%? They said yes...

Took these out of the pump basket. PB said it was normal. Look large to me.

It’s visible on the ledge and steps for sure.

I have some pictures before water came in. Also a few quarter size chunks of plaster in the pumps filter basket.

Still have a few things on the punch list, and still waiting on the decision for my plaster. Got to enjoy it for my daughters birthday at least! Also my hot tub was delivered this week.

The PB PM dumped about 4 gallons of muriatic acid into the pool for "startup". He also put a container of Pool Stabilizer in, and filled the chlorinator in (SWG will be turned on after 30 days). The PH was around 5.9 yesterday but almost back up to 7 this morning. Brushing away!

Well I have electricity and a ton of acid in the pool. They haven’t come to look at the plaster yet, but the pm suggested if we needEd to redo it, to wait for the fall. Any thoughts? I would need a guarantee in writing they would do it, but maybe not being so hot outside might make it do better...

My lovely trench. On top of that I had to spend 3 hours fixing my fence after they didn’t put it back up right.
