Shotcrete Day

[Murkywater]

So shotcrete was done today. Guys gave me no instructions on watering but I think I can figure that out. Also said the rain during installation wasn’t an issue but I noticed some pooling in the deep end. Is this cause for concern? How does this look to the professionals on here?

Start watering right now. Don't read any more before you go love on your pool.


Okay are you done with that? Well done!

Do you have your test kit yet? If not lets order it now as it will not be too long before you will need it.

I also have a set of links for you to help you pick the bet plaster for your pool:

Wow thanks! Should I be concerned about the rain water pooling in the deep end?

No issues. With all the watering you are going to be doing over the next week, you will get a lot more pooling. It's normal.

Was the guide wire left in place or is that a straight line left in the Shotcrete?

That line is on both side walls...

If the wire is still present (should have been removed when the Shotcrete was still green) it needs to be removed at least 1” from inside the shell.
The plaster crew will fill the void left behind.
