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.
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.
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..
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.

You can typically heat a new Pebble Tec pool within a few days after the initial fill, provided that the plaster has cured adequately, which usually takes about 7 to 14 days. It’s important to follow the manufacturer's guidelines for curing to avoid damaging the surface. Heating the pool too soon can lead to issues like surface discoloration or cracking. Always consult with your pool contractor for specific recommendations based on your pool's conditions.
