replaster

My 33,000 gallon 20x40 in ground that was built in 1973 and fiberglassed in 1995 is getting an overhaul. We are doing architectural work that requires removal of the pool decking as well as relocating the pool equipment pad. The pool leaks heavily at the tile line, the fiberglass is blistering...

Hey folks, I moved to this house last July and became a first-time pool owner with zero prior pool knowledge. I soon found this site and learned a vast amount of knowledge about pools, their equipment, and their maintenance. I maintain my pool using the Taylor kit to TFP standards and have...

Hi, we are renovating our pool with NPT Polishedscapes and I had a question for TFP. It seems to be difficult to get information on Polsihedscapes renovations, so I figured I'd start a thread on ours. It is a pool and spa of approx 25k gallons. We are doing a full demo and going with...

Hi there, we are redoing the plaster and waterline tiles. We asked for 3 quotes and the price of the tiling job is pretty much the same for all (~$3.5k). The plaster job including prep and re-balancing is not greatly different for Metamax (PB1), Quartzscape Level 1 (PB2) and Diamond Brite (PB3)...

We are in the middle of having our gunnite pool resurfaced with quartzite. The contractor has patched all the cracks and removed and replaced most of the surface plaster and sprayed on grout (I guess) and then sprayed on a grey rough layer to which the new surface will adhere. We were delayed...

We live in Massachusetts, 30k gallon gunite with plaster finish and attached spa, built in the 90's, chlorine chemistry, DE filter, natural gas heater. We have lived here 3 years so we're not sure if/when it has been re-plastered but it is ready for it now. The entire pool feels like you're...

Hello TFP, What an adventure. We had our pool re-plastered last year because the original plaster was starting to scrape our knees. The company we used plasters one day, leaves the pool dry overnight, and then acid washes the next day before filling it. Not sure I'm a fan of that, but it's...

I need help. We just remodeled our pool and had it replastered. When the water was filled in the jets were turned on and we discovered there was a huge crack in the pipes allowing dirt and rocks to shoot into the pool. They fixed the pipes and came to clean the pool. Dirt and rocks were still in...

This is a 15 years old pool, I have owned it since last year. I use the method I learned from this website to maintain my pool. The most recent test data is like this - Location:Texas -Chlorine : 10 (only add liquid chlorine from local Pinch A Penny store, twice a week and about 0.8-1 gal...

Hi, My pool was built in 2005 and pool service company said there is a need to replaster. Technically since it is already 15 years old, it is time to replaster. I have no idea how bad it is and here is some pictures.

First let me preface this by saying that I suck at pool work... I've been trying and last year I did well keeping up with levels. This year is a different story. The electrical conduit that runs out to the pool rotted away - The upper part of the cartridge filter cracked open - Then the lower...
