Our pool is just under a year old. The plaster is a "medium Tahoe blue", meaning it is grey. Took some pics with an underwater camera today and had a couple of questions:
there's a lot of mottling of the color throughout the plaster. Is this hydration staining or just an artifact of the color they put into the plaster? We like it...it gives the pool bottom and sides some interesting textures throughout the day...but wondering if this is normal.
Second picture is the eggshell cracking appearance of the steepest wall at the deepend of the pool. This eggshell phenomenon is only apparent on this one long wall, and there's no crack, per se...if you run your hand over the plaster, its smooth...but it has this odd eggshell cracking pattern that I don't understand.
Anyone out there an expert on plaster issues?
Looking forward to anyone's thoughts....
Thanks.
