I'm having my pool resurfaced (Diamond Brite). I was advised that I cant use my salt chlorinator for the first 28 days until the pH is leveled. The issue is I don't know if I can bypass my salt cell? My question is, if I just leave the cell in place with no salt in the pool do I run any risks...

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.

Hi everyone, my husband and I recently bought a home in the DFW area with a ~30,000 gallon pool. We have a complete resurfacing scheduled for one month from now, and we debated a long time about whether or not we should have built-in bar stools added to one part of the shallow end... However, we...

Hi All, I just had mini pebble installed and it looks spread a little too thin to me. The pool surface seems almost blotchy--pool not yet filled with water. See pictures. Is this normal? Thank you!
