AquaBright vs Hydrazzo

[Lisabdou]

I have searched the forum but I’m either missing it or it’s not there......

Trying to narrow down my decision to do a Hydrazzo or Aquabright finish on my pool. Permits are being pulled next week so I need to decide pretty soon.

Pool will be max 100 perimeter ft, have a tanning shelf and will be from 3ft to 6 ft deep. Not a huge pool by any means. It’s going to be a Chlorine pool......and here is an idea of what I’m thinking
Is anyone on here knowledgeable about what the price difference should be for Hydrazzo vs the Aquabright?

Also, any thoughts on the pros of spending the extra $ on the Aquabright?

Thanks so much!

Finishes - Aquabright, Hydrazzo, Primera Stone or Something Else?

We are in the process of getting bids to redo our in ground Gunite pool (or possibly tear out and start over depending on the bids). Husband’s only request in the process is polished smooth and no pebble or white plaster. This led me to think of Hydrazzo. I have since learned of Primera Stone...

EcoFinish AquaBRIGHT In Retrospect: Periodic Long Term Review

Hi all. I wanted to give back something to this site and forum which has taught me so much as a new pool owner by starting a new post on my EcoFINISH pool and provide a long term periodic update. My pool is 20 years old when I bought it and I came to realize it had a plaster delamination...

Is It Possible That My Poured Concrete Pool Was Never Plastered?

Has anyone heard of old pools being finished via rubber/epoxy applied directly to a poured concrete shell? I'm planning a repair/repaint of my previously painted pool and I'm trying to figure out if my pool has ever been plastered. I've been researching pool stuff on and off for a couple of...

Aquabright, grout, and water chemistry?

I'm planning to resurface my ~20-year-old in-ground plaster pool with Aquabright. I'll have glass waterline tile and Aquabright below the tile and an automatic cover that will mostly stay closed. I have an SWG that I plan to keep using. I have two questions: what's the desired chemistry, and...

Thanks but I’ve read through those. All good reviews so they answered some of my questions. Hoping someone may have the $ difference answer for me.
Thanks

I would imagine the prices aren't far apart. Is that the deciding factor? Both are high quality finishes so I don't think you can go wrong with either.

As for the actual pricing - the only way to know is to get bids since there is no standard price for either. I'm on the other end of the country so what it would cost here isn't even relevant.

I’m going to do the Aquabright. My pb will be subcontracting it out to another pb company as they are the only ones in the area that can do it. Price will be around $15 sq ft to do so it’s a hefty price but I think in the long run it’s the way to go. Won’t be doing a waterline tile as this can go all the way to the coping and is fine exposed to air....
Just need to decide on color. Between Mediterranean Blue right now or Lagoon Blue. Pool will have a tanning ledge and the shallow end will be 3ft dropping to between 5 and 6 ft. Not a huge pool, 19k gallon i believe.
Will start a new thread and post pics when they start digging which should be in next week or two. Will video the Aquabright application.

With Aquabright you can do multiple colors and blend between them, so for instance you can have the tanning ledge be a sandy color and the swimming area a blue, with a fade between the two.
