I have a question about our recent pool resurfacing. I apologize if this is not the correct forum. Long story short, we are at day 30 of our resurfacing. During the day, the pool looks great. At night with the light on, you can see many imperfections which I do not believe is normal and would like some input. The floor is very wavy (probably somewhat normal). What concerns me more is there are areas where the surface appears pitted and there is a long ridge which are both highlighted in the photos. I have contacted the contractor to come evaluate it but I wanted some input as to whether this is normal or I’m being too picky. Thanks for your help.

The pitting in the first photo is concerning. Looks like a poor troweling job, and will only get worse with time. I don't know if that justifies a total redo, or if it can somehow be repaired without looking weird or causing future issues. I'd classify that as a defect in workmanship.
This is completely normal, 90% of resurfaced looks will look like this at night time.
So the pitting is normal? I get the waviness by the ridge and pitting doesn’t seem normal to me. Can you explain?

What does the PB and/or plaster company say? Is it a name brand product from a company like SGM? Plaster manufacturers are often willing to help resolve issues between builders and customers.

The typical standard is that if area can not be seen in the daytime with the pump of than it is acceptable. That being said I think most builders would repair the pitted area.
The contractor is coming tomorrow to take look. my wife reminded me we have a picture the day it was completed before water went in and you can see the defect. 
That looks terrible. I had my pool replastered about 45 days ago and it’s smooth as silk. I just now looked at it in the dark with the pool lights on. You need a re-do. It looks like somebody damaged your new surface before it hardened. My contractor made many errors, but this was not one of them.
I definitely don’t feel like I’ve gotten my monies worth. Still waiting to hear what their remedy is going to be.
So I’m still working with the contractor, but today I just realized they plastered the polaris adapter in, meaning the screw in adapter is embedded with the plaster and cannot be removed. I can not imagine this is supposed to be like this. Can anyone please confirm?
