I've attached a few photos for reference.
Bought house with pool a few months ago. Pool inspector noted etching in his report. It's a plaster pool, built by Sylvan in 1990. I have to assume it was refinished at least once in that time period.
Pool is open, SLAMmed and cleaned. Generally looks very good but we are already planning to do some major work e.g. refinish, coping, decking etc.
I just want to be sure that when I'm seeing is, in fact, etching and not something else to be worried about. And if it is etching, is there anything I can do about it or is it just something that happens and requires eventual refinishing? It does not disappear when brushing although it does tend to catch small particles so you can see that release when agitated.
Thanks.
