Pebble Tec Pebble Sheen was applied 1 week ago. Acid wash 6 days ago. Pool has been full for 5 days.
I have what I can only describe as staining or patches of discoloration throughout the pool. At first, I thought it was patches of dirt that would come up as I was brushing, but even as the dirt has subsided, the areas remain.
There are areas of distinct blue and then areas that look like a dull gray. The color used was Aqua Blue.
I am brushing with a 50/50 nylon stainless brush twice daily, keeping chemicals balanced per PebbleTecs instructions, and pumps have been running 24/7 since fill. heck, I even bought a small brush vacuum to try to ensure I could keep the floor clear of dirt as much as possible.
I know there is a significant amount of curing that happens in the first 30 days so things can change throughout this time, but I still need to ask the question… Am I totally screwed with this already, despite continued brushing and keeping things balanced? If it’s still like this after a month, I am really not looking forward to the finish installer blaming me for “inadequate care/upkeep” after install.
