Aloha,
We are refinishing our pool and I've been told to stay away from plaster in this acidic environment (lower HPP). The cost to tile the pool is over out budget and I am not a big fan of the look of little tiles.
Our pool man says the plaster will lose its color in a few years. I wonder if there is anything new on the market that will last longer, and keep its color? He says the lighter the color, the longer it will last, but I figure then you can see the algae and dirt etc build up. I have seen both, a light pool with green shades on the walls(algae??) and a dark pool that lost its color and ended up looking like dark grey concrete (very ugly).
I would like to stay away from a rough finish (just read the 2011 post by Kapohocat and the pebble tec, so definitely don't want that).
Does anyone have any recent experience with redoing a pool or building a new one and found a good finish for this area? Any recommendations of who to call to do the work?
Thank you!
