After applying a marcite finish to a pool, it's generally recommended to wait at least 7 to 14 days before filling the pool with water. This allows the marcite to cure properly and achieve its maximum strength and durability. However, specific curing times can vary based on factors like temperature and humidity, so it's best to consult the manufacturer's guidelines or your contractor for precise recommendations.
Marcite is a thing of the past, at least here in Florida. It used to be a good product, but after the removal of asbestos, it does not last as long as before. The quaztz aggregate finish replaced marcite. Instead of use of marble,like in marcite, it uses quartz. Diamond Brite is one of many brands available. Then you have hydrazzo which is a kind of marcite with a twist; it is polished after finished to a glassy feeling. Pebble finish is also available; it is a little bit rougher than quartz aggregate finish. The latest thing for pool finish is the use of glass beads(beadcrete).

Marcite was the material used to finish the interior of a concrete swimming pool. It is in simple terms a mixture of crushed marble and white cement mixed with water to form plaster which is then applied to the pool floor and walls with trowels to provide a smooth finish for the interior of the pool . These days we use what are known as exposed aggrigate materials to finish pools which contain man made quartz such as Diamond brite.

Marcite is a "plaster" made from marble dust and white cement. It's put on top of the gunite and gives the pool a smooth finish and bright luster.

My pool which is a small to medium sized pool took about 2 days.
It took us from 5PM one day until 8PM the next to fill our pool. So, about 27 hours.
1-2 days. Try to get 2 or 3 garden hoses to fill the pool faster. WARNING: If you get your water from a well fill your pool slowly over 2 to 3 days.
