Well there are some PB who write this line in the directions:
-when the water reaches the middle of the waterline time JUMP IN THE POOL and enjoy it!
SO it can be tomorrow!!! or as soon as the pool is full of water IF the PB is the understanding type!

Woohoo! When are you going to put that 2nd hose in?
Also, I would try to adjust that one hose so it is not touching the side of your pool.

Ha. Mine told me to wait an hour until I could put it in. I'm sure they have seen people do some stupid stuff, but just make sure it is going into standing water and not splashing the plaster that is above the water line. Good luck, hopefully you will be full by dark.

Yeah, they said something about the pressure would be too high with 2 hoses or something.
The socks help the water to not splash! got 2 hoses in now! hoses off the sides and bench but laying on the bottom some.

Yes. Here's a great video that explains it. They use the term "cream" and "slurry" interchangeably, but it's just the plaster, which they say brings more pebble to the surface, making it stronger.Not sure how much troweling they did but after troweling it looked like they sprayed some water a bit that exposed some of the pebble. And then rolled a paint brush roller around on it to smooth at the end. I don’t think I saw any cream stuff.
sorry you are not happy
Edit @Girija : "cream stuff" do you mean the blue plaster? More of that will be removed tomorrow during the acid wash.

Hi! So I am going to pull out my TF-100 test kit. Do I test the tap water inside? I can't reach the water in the pool yet.
What tests should I do?

If you do not have a water softener then your inside water should be same as external water tap. Test everything - pH, FC, TA, and CH. No need to test CYA as tap water does not have that. Also, take a picture of anything they plan to put in pool.
