This was a well-done explanatory video of the steps to resurface the pool. What brought me to dig into this video was to get information on how to do it. I live in Florida and when we purchased our home the pool was in really bad condition. As I was cleaning it one day I felt a soft spot under and to my surprise there was a hole where then one more and more and so the in the walls the plaster was coming off. I don't have money to pay a company but I consider myself very handy and have the time to do it. I might will bather you when getting in there with a couple questions if you don't mind. Thank you so much and I look forward to checking out more videos on your channel.

I am wondering why did they acid wash it at the end after plaster was done? What was the point of that on brand new plaster as the acid does eat up the plaster. Maybe there is an explanation I’m not aware of.
@TomLeeman
@TomLeeman 3 ай бұрын
Acid washing a pool, even after applying a diamond brite or similar finish, is typically done to remove surface stains, dirt, or mineral deposits that might appear after the finish is applied. Here’s why it might happen: 1. Surface Cleaning: After applying a new finish like Diamond Brite, some residue, dust, or spots may remain on the surface. Acid washing helps clean off this residue and ensures the surface looks uniform and smooth. 2. Etching: A light acid wash can etch the surface slightly, improving the overall appearance by eliminating imperfections or haze that could appear after the pool finish cures. 3. Mineral Stains: Sometimes, even new surfaces can develop minor mineral stains (from water or construction dust). Acid washing helps remove these stains. Acid washing is done carefully so it doesn’t damage the new finish, using diluted acid solutions to clean without causing harm.

Hitting the aggregate with a pressure washer takes off most of the dust that covers the aggregate, once you acid wash it it will make the aggregate pop a little more. Once the pool is filled you brush everyday for 30 days and that will help take off even more of that dust layer from the finish. Keeping the pool acidic during the curing process will help as well.

It takes a day to drain the pool and then you’ve got to chip out all of the hollow points and make sure you got it prepped you need a day to chip all of the old tile away if you’re doing that and then they come in and do it in a day so it’s probably about I don’t know four or five daysthat your pool is gonna be down because you have to fill it also this cost $7500 and $1500 for the tile good luck thanks for watching
