I have a 2.5 year old A&S pool. During the build I wanted a plaster or surface that was darker for a deeper blue color. They talked me out of it (before I really knew about pool chemistry) telling me that if I shock a pool that has a darker surface I run the risk of having white blotches in the surface due to the shock settling on the floor (that and a darker color would keep the pool warmer...turns out I prefer warmer water anyway)!! So that scared me to stay with the standard white. 2.5 years later and I have never once had to shock my pool. I use Bleach, Baking soda and Muriatic acid only. Pool has always stayed swimmable.
Well, after 2.5 years, the white plaster kinda has a tinge of brown color to it due to, I assume, staining. Brushing and higher chlorine count doesn't improve it. So I was thinking of draining pool and acid washing surface to clean it up to make white again, but then wondered how much it costs to resurface and put in a Radiant Fusion surface for better looks. I know it will be at least 5K or more....but willing to pay the price as I have never been truly happy with the white generic plaster. Has anyone in Houston area resurfaced pool and can recommend a good company?
