Make a quality garden. Weed free.

I had a friend that had a friend - raised frogs - but it was dangerous. Lots of moss and leaves would just blanket it.

you and what was the reason

that one before.

in one past

Must be a Vegas thing cause they want it done anyhow after you warn them about the plaster checking problem. I've done a number of them where I'll drop off the pump in the afternoon, fix the pool first thing in the morning, and set up a floating sprinkler to fill it back up. Then the customer calls when its full, go over and start the pool up , and grab the $ and sprinkler. What gets me it people crying cause of the cost , hey that's 4 trips (I want to see it first) without any problems. That's only done with really anal customers or the pool is under 3 years old. Otherwise it checks or doesn't, not my problem , and if I tried to make it such I'd be told to do it anyway.

Usually, pool people are so busy in the summer time that we'll come up with anything to put you off till winter. Or at least I do. Yeah, yeah , that's the ticket , the plaster will check. :o)

You could have shocked the crap out of it. Just have to be a little careful that you don't get the water into that irreversible condition or etch the copper heat exchanger and other copper plumbing and have your plaster turn blue like the OP's pictures.

Pebble tech is 10 times better. I never did like that sterile white plaster. I'd have a blackish pebble tech or all mosaic theme tiled pool.

Oh yeah, those nazi police probably take addresses from the air for ya'll west Nile virus breeders. LOL , just kidding.
