We have a 1 year old pool that was recently emptied in order for the PB to acid wash the pebble because there were issues on install that had irrigated water leak into pool and wash the color out. The acid wash improved the situation but there is still a smaller white mark in one of the areas. Now that we have been filled for about 2 months I notice large white streaks (see photos.) I have notified PB and am waiting to hear back. Initially I was told plaster co was coming back out to look at the initial white mark. Did something go bad?

White Spotting of New Plaster Pools The problem of plaster spotting has been an ongoing puzzle and controversy in the swimming pool industry for over three decades. The generally round, smooth-yet-unsightly white soft spots in new plaster pools have long been a source of contention among pool plasterers, and pool chemical service firms or pool owners, each blaming the other for the phenomenon.
