All...thank you for reading my post.
We are currently in the middle of our pool build...yes, in December...in Michigan...
Our PB moved forward with applying the gunite and my concern is that it was done at very cold temperatures and that the following “curing days” are very cold as well. Everything I have read says the temperatures should be over 40F and to use some method of cold weather protection if there is a chance of below 40F. Our PB used a dry-mix gunite that was mixed as they used it on site, the bags were labeled Type IA Portland. At what point should we be concerned and what should we be looking for in terms of defects (if any) and are there any questions we should be asking?
The temperatures during the application of the dry-mix gunite was about 25-30F with the days following in the -5 to 20F range. There was one day when they were applying the gunite that it was about 10-15F.
The pool and attached spa are estimated to be about 45-50K gallons and the depth ranges from 3.5 to 9 feet deep.
Thank you in advance for your thoughts.
