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.
Venitian glass, but it is very expensive, also you can get 2m color quartz custom blended, but it is still plaster based. that was supposed to say 3M color quartz.

Dry ice can damage pebble tech surfaces in pools due to its extreme cold temperatures. The rapid temperature change can cause the surface to crack or delaminate. It is best to avoid direct contact between dry ice and pebble tech surfaces to prevent any potential damage.
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..
I doubt it and if it worries you, fill the crack with a cement grout mixture,
Any pool Interior finish will dry out and crumble if allowed to do so.
A 10-20% solution of muriatic acid and bristle brush will clean the pebble tech. Be careful, the acid will burn if it comes in contact with skin or eyes. By 10% I mean 1 part acid to 9 parts cold water. Always add acid to water not water to acid due to unwanted thermal reaction.

There is a web link describing quarts finish below. There is also a web link on pebble tech below. pebble tech and quarts are pool surface finishes (see the links mentioned above) Wet edge is a method of constructing a pool where by one or more edges of the pools side are built just below the waters natural surface height. This brings about a situation where water is constantly falling over the edge of the pool into a balance tank and then via filtration back into the pool.

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.
