Hubby and I live in 18938, New Hope, PA and have a pool 60x18 feet that needs full renovation. We've learned enough to know that we don't want to have to brush the surface of our pool multiple times a day, day-after-day, to ensure the curing process is done correctly. What surface manufacturer is the best to avoid this step? or to minimize the risk/amount of work involved for proper curing? My newest approach to find a pool contractor/renovator in my area is to first identify the product I want to use. Thanks in advance.

Is there a teenager in your neighborhood who is looking to make a few extra bucks brushing your pool? Their wage will be negligible compared to the cost of the re-plaster.
