How long will the plaster finish last?
Plaster on residential applications generally will last 10 to 15 years depending on how the pool chemistry is monitored. A high total alkalinity will cause scaling on the plaster. This scaling makes the plaster look dingy and can only really be effectively cleaned by draining the pool and acid washing. A low total alkalinity creates a corrosive environment that etches the plaster, making it rough and thus reducing the lifespan. If you have questions regarding proper water chemistry you can call us and we will either show you how to test & administer chemicals. or we can maintain your pool on our weekly service.
