Update: It may be too late to even get a water truck now. But still worth asking just in case...
We're having the pool plastered today and tomorrow. They prepped/bond koted the pool, plastered the spa (see pic), and will plaster the pool tomorrow morning starting around 7:30. They want to start early, because there's a 40% chance of rain tomorrow, mostly after 5pm. If they start early and finish by noon, it'll have 5 hours to set and start filling before the rain. (The weather forecasts here have been very inaccurate lately!)
Here's the issue. The plaster company is telling me that if it rains on the pool, there's the potential for streaking and they want to make sure we're willing to take that risk. They say it won't definitely streak, but it might. FYI, the new plaster color is dark grey. They say if we get one water truck, it'll help fill the bottom--two even better. The problem is that one truck costs $700, and will only fill a fraction of the pool.
If I fill the pool, I can use 4 hoses, so I guestimate it'll take less than 2 days.
Any sage advice or opinions on whether to get a water truck? I'll add that we're not obsessive about the pool being perfect. Our current plaster was in bad shape, with patches and different shades, and it was still beautiful.
Thanks in advance!
