Your answer has made me think of something. Can you re-plaster a gunite pool over and over during it's lifespan or does that weaken the gunite? I wasn't sure if one or two re-plasters were all a pool could take, or if it could go on indefinitely. With my plaster not going correctly I guess I'm...

How long after a re-plaster is it "safe" to drain and acid wash? If it's best to wait a year, I can do that. He's given me a 3 year warranty, which at the moment seems to be no good since he won't show up to even look at it. He has promised to come by at least six times and has no showed every...

Plasterer never showed up, I'm definitely not high on his priorities since he has done this to me multiple times. My question is our temperatures have topped 100 for the last few days and I've read you don't want the temperature to be above 80 to drain the pool. I'm still going to keep calling...

Plaster is white. Plasterer is supposed to come by today so I will see if he thinks an acid wash will help improve the appearance. If not I need to stay away from the pool when there are shadows! :} Thank you!

We had our pool replastered in January and the mottling is throughout the pool (walls and sides). We kept thinking it would fade as the plaster cured but it has not. The plasterer said he would come over Monday and take a look. He said it was probably the start up (the guy who did the start up...

It's been a little over 4 weeks since my new plaster. Is it ok to use the automatic vacuum now? Also, I am now brushing every other day instead of daily. Is that ok, or should I do daily for a week or two longer? THANKS

Question is how much mottling is normal and inherent for a plaster pool? Ours was replastered with white plaster 3 weeks ago and we still have a creamy beige mottling throughout (floors and walls). I'm reading online, and have been told conflicting opinions about how long plaster takes to cure...

I was thinking you needed to drain the pool for an acid wash so that makes me feel better, thank you! Any opinions if this could be corrected with an acid wash or just due to poor workmanship? I've seen online where it can mottle if they work the plaster too much when it's too dry. Is it...

I have a 3 year warranty. The plasterer said my warranty was good whether I did the start up or the pool guy. I've tried to attach photos I took when the pool was freshly plastered and getting filled with water. I thought the mottling would go away as it dried, and at the beginning I kept...

What is an acceptable amount of plaster mottling? We had our pool replastered 10 days ago. Before they started filling the pool I noticed some creamy beige mottling on some of the walls but thought that was normal because it was wet, fresh plaster. I was thinking it would dissipate when the pool...

We had our old pool plaster chipped out a few days ago. Is it ok to leave it like this until January?

Thanks for all the replys! We went and saw some pools this weekend with "white" pebble tec. Is there such a thing as white pebble tec that really looks white? The ones we saw just looked dingy, not brilliant white like plaster does. I'm talking about pebble and not the crystal beads, I'm sure...

We are replastering our pool and were going to go with traditional plaster but everyone keeps saying pebble lasts forever and plaster only 5-8 years. If I knew for sure we would be in this house another 10 or 20 years I would pebble, but we think we will only be here about 6 or 7 more years. Our...
