Hi TFP Community!
I recently had my pool resurfaced with StoneScapes Aqua White Mini Pebble. After the surface was installed, but before the pool was filled, water from my auto-fill valve leaked on the surface creating a puddle, with water running down to the deep end. It left a whitish imprint. My pool contractor told me that it would eventually fade. It has been one month and I don't see much of a difference. He said to give it two more months for the chemicals to take effect. For example, he is just starting the salt chlorination. If that doesn't do it, he said that he would drain the pool and acid wash the entire surface to make it a uniform color.
Has anyone else had this experience? I am interested to hear whether the white stains actually do dissipate over time. Also, will draining and acid washing the surface do any damage to the finish? Of course, the resurfacing was expensive. It is very annoying to spend that much money and not be happy with the result. When I look at the pool, all I can focus is on are those white stains. I can't really enjoy the pool!
I appreciate any information or advice anyone has. Thank you!

That is unfortunate. Not sure there is a non-aggressive way to get those streaks to go away. I'll tag
