"treating" a new plastered pool -- new or old -- you have to treat the water forever. Follow the builders instructions. Each one has his own methods or system. As a rule builders will not allow you to start up a new pool especially if you have no previous experience. They will have a pool tech service the neew pool for the first few weeks so nothing goes wrong.

∙ 16y agoYou would probably replaster if your pool shows signs of the plaster degrading, blistering, discoloration - heavy copper, black or brown stains, is rough to the touch, is causing cuts on your hands or feet. Most obvious visual signs that are not pleasing to look at.

What type of paint should I use to paint a ingroung pool The pool is a older pool?
The wholesale pool supply stores sell paint specially formulated for pools. I don't know about the do-it-tourself stores. Answ:: In my opinion you would be better off having the pool replastered. k I agree with "K" that you should have it replastered. Answer: I agree wholeheartedly. There are pool paints out there that look simply beautiful...in the beginning. But unless you plan on repainting it each year, why waste the time and money. You're much better off to pay $2000-$3000 and replaster the pool so it will last 10 years or more. Even when maintaining the chemistry on a pool, the paint will begin to show round spots and peel off after about a year. I am willing to answer any pool-related questions at www.anjeli-klean.com
What is the name of the attachment that goes to the water return of an above ground pool and keeps the bottom of the pool stirred up for better filtration and where can it can be purchased?
These things are obsolete. When I had my pool replastered, they removed the place where the thing attached and plastered over it. He told me they were ineffective and no longer used in pools. The Circulator http://www.thecirculator.com/fnb.php
Can you enter the pool while cleaning with muriatic acid?
If you are talking about acid washing an empty pool then yes you should be inside it to do it properly. It is best to hire someone who has done at least 50 acid washes. I have replastered many pools that were acid washed by an idiot or the pool owner because they simply didn't know what they were doing.

Why would a newly plastered grey pool lose its color at the bottom of the pool and not on the walls?
Pool bottom lost ColorBecause there is more pressure on the bottom then on the sides New ans: check United Chemical located in California. And my guess is that someone did not do a proper start-up on the new pool or waited too long to start a newly finished pool. Speak to the builder - he can remedy the situation or replaster. Read your contract with the builder/installer.The first answer was a ZONK, the second one though could be right on target. The calcium hydroxide released as the plaster hydrates can harden if it isn't removed within a few days of filling. Since it is white in color it is more easily noticed in a pigmented pool than a white pool. It will also have a sandpapery like feel to the surface. This is why I do all my customers start-ups myself. It avoids all the finger pointing as to who is at fault. The remedy is more than likely to have a very experienced technician acid wash and/or polish the pool surface. Keep in mind I have replastered many pools acid washed by an idiot and saving a new surface is worth every bit of 1000-1500 bucks to have an expert do it.

Blisters in the paint job? Poor preparation was the result of that. Drain the pool, re-prep the pool walls etc and repaint. Hmm, why did you paint the pool? Was it painted before?
