Aquabright in Tampa Bay area?

[TopherG]

I'm starting to get bids to resurface my pool w/ diamond brite and want to get a bid for aquabright too.

1) Has anyone in the Tampa Bay / central Florida had AB installed?

a) Are you happy with installer?
​

b) Are you happy with the results?
​

2) Sometime down the road when it's time to refinish, what happens if Aquabright doesn't survive in the market / you wish to return to an aggregate finish? Is the only option to chip out to the shell?

Thanks!

I can answer the second question - yes, you would have to chip out the AB and the plaster to which it adheres. But, honestly, if you want a new exposed aggregate plaster, you'd have to chip out the old plaster anyway. With Aquabright, if you want a new color, they can simply apply it over the old AquaBright color, no need to chip anything out (assuming the underlying plaster is still structurally ok).

Hi,

I am in the Tampa area and I just signed a contract with an installer to do my pool build with AquaBright today. I can keep you updated on the progress if you like.
