is the same for the water sheer descents? I am looking at the engineering plans, where would it be ?
New build (day three pool startup) cloudy, bubbles

- Start date
The umbrella sleeve will sit flush with the plaster, so the plaster thickness will have a direct impact on its depth.
Steel engineering plans differ depending on who is supplying them, here is the info on one of mine.
I provided a picture of a typical surface crack in Gunite.

The efflorescence is common and if it were to be removed what ever it is replaced with will not be as strong as the original shot in place Gunite.
Thank you, has anyone had it bleed through the plaster? That’s obviously will be my concern.
We are going to have the step redone because it wasn’t how we wanted it, I am not sure their process, but what’s the best approach since it’s not structural?
No I haven’t seen it bleed through the plaster before, one reason you see it now is due to there being no pressure from inside the shell pushing outwards.
The step in the deep end or the reef step and how much is being replaced?

The step exiting the pool, it was supposed to be curved and not straight, not sure how they plan on doing it yet.

Most commonly when it’s only a step it will be chipped out and hydraulic cement will be used to reform the step, as you stated earlier because it’s not structural there shouldn’t be any rebar in it.
After a long journey, it’s finally over, wetedge signature matrix Cadet blue, was just done. It’s a bit splotchy, but hoping it will even out as it dries and acid wash tomorrow

OH YEAH! SO close to being done!!!
Now here are your jobs for the next step. Grab your hoses and put socks or something over the metal part of the hose. When they go to add water make sure the end of the hose is right in the lowest part of the pool. This keeps the flow of water from causing a channel in that pretty, new plaster!
Also take a pic of your water gauge right when the water starts going in. Try to limit the amount of household water you use so you can get a pretty good measure of how many gallons your pool holds.

any idea where the water came from? I would use a cloth towel to sop it up walking in it with sock feet. The acid wash will help take the "stain" away but lets be extra careful and not allow it to start in the first place.
It must of came from the plaster crew when they cleaned up the concrete, water must of got on the step. The water is on the step so I can reach over and sop it up.
Edit: I just got the excess water off the step, the other one is the deep end which is dried

Thank you, do I add immediately or need to wait?@onBalance mentioned to wait but not sure if that was spefically non pebble since I’m already waiting or should I wait after acid wash? I was still waiting on Clarification
The acid wash comes first. Then you start adding water. Saying that it does depend on what "start" they are using. Here is a link on the different starts they do: Start-up New Plaster
I am responsible for the startup, i started a thread for chemicals, Pool start up questions wetedge signature matrix
Since they are waiting a day to perform an acid wash, it is okay to begin filling with water immediately after that it done.
Best practice for the hose after wrapped in towel, should it just sit there at the bottom or find a container to have it float?I am looking what I could use at the moment.
