Plaster Day Coming up

[Dman77720]

We will be having our plaster and pebble installed soon and my PB sent this:

• Have Garden Hose On-Site
• Please hydrate pool 2X a day for 3 days before Plaster during Summer Months
• Plaster company will start water
• Do Not move hose – leave pool to fill slowly
• Do Not Shut Water Off Early , Shutting water off will void warranty , Shutting water off early can cause cracks and bathtub ring. Once pool is full (Center of Tile Line) move to Spa and fill (Center of tile line)
• After pool and spa are full call office to schedule startup of equipment
• First (7) Seven days are most important to insure quality of finish
• Must Brush Walls and Floor towards main drain minimum of (3) Three Times a day for (7) Seven Days **The more you brush the better the finish
• Pool & Spa does not provide chemicals for your pool. Please contact a pool maintenance company.

Sounds about right. Will you be doing the startup chemicals or are they taking care of it?

They clearly state they will not be adding chemicals so I will be doing this from the start. I am not sure if the plaster company will do anything but I will ask when the day they are here. I am going to assume they won't do much and be prepared as possbible
