I’ll upload a picture of it full soon. But it looks good, could be “bluer” but we are happy to have water and can’t wait for start up.
The water is in (will post finished pictures soon) but now seeing some weird inconsistencies in the plaster, wonder if this is normal?
After they did the plaster, they acid washed it and told me that they were doing an acid bath and the pool did not need to be brushed. They came out a few days later put in baking soda and did the chemicals and told me the pool is ready to swim in (which we did briefly) during the swim I noticed some spots on the plaster. What do you guys think?
Thanks in advance.

Here is the final pool, The one picture with the discoloration of the deck is how the concrete guys left it after sealing the deck, they also sealed it with gloss seal rather than the matte they were supposed to seal with. Hopefully they will come up with a solution soon we are really irritated by it.

The pool is beautiful, but that ”wet” spot of your decking would bother me also, hopefully they come up with a good solution.
True, he isn’t giving me a solid resolution plus the deck is slippery when wet which really worries me

Why a smooth deck? That would seem like an accident waiting to happen. Pool looks really nice!
He told me that this is what’s in style we were supposed to do the rock salt texture but it claimed this would look better and still have traction.
It was very nice until they sealed it with a gloss coat.

Keep in mind that pool builders can get discounts on pool furniture, and that may be an acceptable solution. A nice table and chairs over the wet spot, plus maybe a ledge lounger or two on the tanning ledge may be just enough to make me forget about their mistake.

Since they made it slippery and a big discolored spot, maybe they could put acrylic lace on it.
Hi! Who did you get to build? I'm looking to do a similar pool in Dallas and trying to find recs for companies to contact.
