quartz plaster

I recently had my pool resurfaced using Miami blue quartz (white with quartz) and I’m getting mixed opinions on if this is normal. In the shade I’m noticing blotchiness and white marks throughout the pool, in direct sunlight it’s not as noticeable. It’s been 2 weeks since completion and I’ve...

Hi folks! We’re new pool people and curious to know if this type of streak/mark in plaster is normal? This is a dark blue quartz plaster that was filled with water overnight with 2 standard hoses. Our PB wasn’t direct about the normality of this issue and simply mentioned an acid wash but we’ve...

My son has a skin condition that leads to his skin being very sensitive and prone to cuts/damage. This is not a chemical sensitivity, more of a situation where his skin is more like...

Hi all, We are completely remodeling our pool, down to digging up and re-plumbing. I will start a post on the process so far asap. In the meanwhile I have two questions I haven't been able to find the answer to. We will be using all Pentair equipment (per builder, but I'm okay with that). I am...
