It is not necessarily better, just different. The pebble finish can come in mini pebble and regular pebble. The mini pebble is pretty close to the quartz aggregate finish(diamond brite) as far as texture, feeling. The regular is much rougher on your feet( kids and sensitive soles can vouch for that). As a contractor I hear this question all the time , and the answer is: if you use your pool frequently, go with quartz aggregate, if you care about the way your pool looks, then go with pebble. Pebble will be around 30% more than quartz aggregate. It is really a matter of preference. Premium Pool and Pavers, Odessa , Florida 727 271 5975.

What are the benefits of pebble tech versus Plaster?
PebbleTec lasts longer than plaster (and is usually warrantied for longer than plaster). In addition, it is darker so typically hides the staining that often comes with pool chemicals.
Why is the plaster on a gunite pool gray in the middle and white on the gunite side and white on the outside?
The finish plaster is normally white all the way through. It sounds like you are dealing with a pool that has been replastered by the method of putting a "brown coat"/"scratch coat" (the gray plaster you noted) over the original finish plaster surface, and a new finish coat of white plaster on top of that. The scratch coat more like a thin concrete than plaster (doesn't have the white marble dust in it) and is used to get a better bond to the old surface.
Your pool plaster has started to bubble and chip away so you have unsightly gouges your pool is 10 years old Is this normal after this amount of time?
Not usually. Has it beendrained and left dry for more than 2 - 3 days? B T W do not use the word "your" as in "your pool plaster... Your pool is 10 years.... Please use "My" pool.... and "Our" pool is 10 yrs..... When you refer to "your" you are talking about me and my pool. What do you know about my pool? Supposing I do not have a pool.
Is sandblasting better than chipping out old plaster in preparation for replastering pool?
Chip. That gets rid of anything that may become loose which may not come off during a sand blasting. It is all in the preparation!
What is better plaster or liner?
Depends on what you're looking for. A plaster pool can be drained and painted but it does crack and certain chemicals can aid in the cracking process. A gunite pool would be a better but probably a more expensive choice than plaster. The liners are great. My brothers pool is an inground pool with a liner that was installed in 1983, in a flood and hurricane zone. It has never torn, wrinkled, or lifted up in any way. In a major flood zone such as we have here in south Louisiana, a plaster pool can lift up and begin to float. The liner is also very smooth and comforting to the feet when playing in the pool. My liner was installed only 5 years ago and we have been very satisfied, although it requires a different set of chemicals. A lined pooled should never be drained completely. Either way you choose, I would suggest going with the saltwater filtration system. It turns out to be less expensive in the end. Hope this gives you some things to consider.
What is the best for resurfacing a pool Plaster with silicone 3M quartz ScotiaWhite quartz the purest concrete and is it better to chip out than to sandblast?
I imagine you are considering these finishes for the texture and the cost? I would recommend the 3M ColorQuartz at 85% blend, and chipout is really best for resurfacing your pool. The more of the older interior you remove the better chances you will have no issues from your previous interior finish.
What is the freezing water temperature for a gunite pool and at what point do I need to heat the pool to prevent plaster damage?
Plaster pools are pretty robust, and have virtually no issues freezing for short periods of time. If you are in a climate that stays frozen (for more than a day, like Central Florida) then you want to winterize the pool. A quick Google search should yield good answers as to how.
