Plaster vs Diamond Brite vs Pebbletech
Comments (3)We had the same concerns and chose Wet Edge Primera which should be smoother than plaster. Haven't started our build yet but will report back....See MorePlaster today (diamond brite) but no water coming
Comments (1)I am always curious, why do some people have water brought in? We have somewhat harsh water there, but we dont truck it in. Where do you live that its that bad, and what is in your tap water you do not want? Just curious!...See MoreLED, pumps, & Plaster vs. Diamond Brite
Comments (6)It takes a long time to recover the money invested for LED lights. If they are color changing LEDS, I urge people to get them because they are so darn fun! It has a side benefit of saving on electricity and lasting longer. A typical 500w light will last about 5,000 hours vs. almost 30,000 hours for an LED. On the plaster, there are choices besides Diamond Brite that are less expensive. Quartzscapes is a less expensive product, but be aware that it is mixed on site and not premixed. That can cause more spottiness when applied. A well cared for White Marble plaster pool can last many years... 10 - 15 ... if you keep the pH & alkalinity correct and brush your pool. The variable speed pumps are ABSOLUTELY worth it!...See Moreplastered today but no startup
Comments (5)We had the same schedule, finished pebblesheen on Friday, starting filling, finished filling Sunday morning, and then they started up the pumps on Monday. I had all the same concerns you did, but now we're happily swimming in a great pool. We had to wait for the pool cleaner until the pebble sheen cured for 28 days. I would make the kids dive for leaves when they swam! Enjoy your first dip in the pool!...See Moreteppy
