If your pool
is new, it takes around 4-5 hours to plaster your pool. On a standard replaster,
weather permitting, it will only take about two to three consecutive days
for extra work. Other
renovations, such as replacing or adding tile, may slightly increase the length
of the job.
Depending on your pool finish, the plaster crew may start
the water to fill your pool. If they do not start the water there may
be another step required and another crew will start the water after the
final step. When they start the water, you must leave the water
on until it reaches the middle of the tile. If you turn off the water
before it reaches the tile, it will leave a bathtub ring around your pool
that will be impossible to remove.
Normally it takes 24 to 48 hours to fill a pool.
Light acid wash and sanding are used to polish your pool
to expose the aggregate. Polishing a pool is mostly done on Hydrazzo
finishes.
You can put chemicals into your pool as soon as it is
full. Take a water sample to your local pool store for a free test to
determine the proper steps. Always follow any special instruction from your pool service
company.
Most pool finishes last between 5 to 10 years.
However when you decide the finish looks bad or rough you can get a free
estimate to determine if it is time to resurface your pool.
