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.
How thick should pool plaster be?
For quartz aggregate finish, somewhere around 3/8" on the walls and 1/2" or even thicker on the floor. Pebble will be slightly thicker. Premium Pool and Pavers, Spring Hill, Florida 727 271 5975.
How long to wait to swim after adding hydrocloric acid to pool?
Acid dilutes very fast, add it to your pool (while running to help circulation) and you should be ready to swim in about 30min. Best way to add it is by using a 5gal bucket, fill it so that you have room to add the acid then walk around the pool pouring into the edges of the pool. This will keep from damaging your plaster especially if your pool has dark plaster or pebble tech plaster. Hope you found this helpful..
Is pebblecoating a pool better than plaster?
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 is the most durable swimming pool?
The ultimate longest lasting interior finish in any shotcrete ( cement ) pool, is tile. It is also astronomical in cost but if the grout is maintained properly, it will be beautiful for the next 50 years. Second would be " Pebble Tec " yes, the brand name Pebble Tec. There are many duplicates called, River stone, pebble stone etc but if it does not say precisely Pebble Tec then its nothing but a cheap snake oil salesmans rip off . Pebble Tec is small stones that have no sharp corners like the rip off brands. They combine a mix of white portland cement and stone and " shoot " it on the interior of your pool via a truck mounted pump. Pebble Sheen is also a good product, again, Pebble Tec Brand name. This is nothing more the even smaller stones togive you a smoother finish but the Pebble Tec finish is fine. I have had Soft White Pebble Tec in my pool fo 10 years and it looks like the day they put it in. I live in Arizona so yes, I literally bomb it with chemicals 5 months a year due to the extreme heat and sunshine and it has performed superbly. Next up would be some sort of quartz and plaster mixture. Quartz is hard but alas, its still in the plaster family and will most definitely stain and deteriorate a lot faster then the pebble products mentioned. Last and certainly on the bottom of the list is plaster. Marble dust and white portand cement and a few other products thrown in to hold it together and attempt to keep it white and on the wall of the pool. Very attractive when new. The marble dust gives the pool its " blue " look but like I said, it will not stay that way too long. Especially if you live in an area with Hard water. Plaster deteriorates fast, discolors even faster and shows every stain known to man and some that are not know to man :) Not recommended for the Southwest.
