I feel like I can't say I'm new here anymore. been a little over 6 months. Pool water is perfectly balanced thanks to you guys. My next issue/concern. When I bought the house the old owners said they havnt done anything with the pool in 10 years. Plaster is chipping. there's black stains, brown stains. lots of discoloration. Apparently the price of plaster has skyrocketed along with everything else and I was quoted 25k for a replaster with mini pebble, new tile and new coping. So my question:
Is pebble really better? I've heard it can be "rough" on feet. the price different isn't too much so it seems pebble is the way to go but I don't want it to be uncomfortable. My wife wants a "dark plaster" so the sun will heat it. not sure of that will actually work or not. I know this is a big expensive commitment so I want to make sure I'm happy with the outcome. Is 25k too much? it's a smaller pool ~11k gal. odd shaped 13x32 but tapers down to ~9 ft. Should I just go classic white plaster? what are pro/cons with plaster vs pebble? are there other options?
TIA
