After Your Swimming Pool Replastering Project: Aftercare Tips & Resources To Keep Your Pool & Spa Interior In Top Shape In The North Dallas Metroplex
Published by Rick Morton on
So you’ve just gone through a swimming pool replastering project with your local swimming pool replastering contractor.
You did your proper research and you might have even made your replastering project a part of a larger renovation project.
Whichever scenario you might find yourself faced with a freshly replastered pool, you’ll need to make sure to cover your bases to keep it in top shape & looking great.
Should you not take the proper aftercare steps, you not only might end up with a degraded pool experience – you might also have to replaster your pool – sooner than you’d like to budget for.
Aftercare steps can be a challenge to find — with so many different pool finishes, manufacturers and application methods it’s not always easy to track down what’s best for your particular resurfacing methods.
That said, below are some of the more common pool finishing manufacturers – WetEdge & PebbleTec – and their aftercare recommendations.
1. WetEdge Pool Finishes
WetEdge’s Startup Guide offers some brief tips on brand-new pool finishes.
They state that it will take “28 days to be mostly cured” and to make sure to balance your pool and spa water with proper maintenance to get the best results possible with your new pool finish.
2. PebbleTec Pool Finishes
PebbleTec’s startup guide goes into detail about the “break-in” period: the time directly after the finish is installed and handed over to you.
This “break-in” and “start-up” period spans 28 days and requires proper water testing, brushing and other important steps to avoid any unwanted issues.
3. National Plasterers Council Recommendations
Going directly along with PebbleTec and WetEdge’s recommendations, the National Plasterers Council indicates that the first 28 days are crucial to your newly replastered pool.
Their start-up card, which you can download here – states that the initial start-up procedure should include frequent brushing and daily testing and adjusting to keep it from staining, scaling and discoloration.
As mentioned above, this isn’t an exhaustive list, BUT it should get you pointed in the right direction to taking care of your pool after your replastering contractors wrap up in your pool.
Just like any area of your home’s property, your inground, concrete swimming pool requires care and maintenance to make sure it stays in top shape.
Your pool isn’t just a valuable line item for your property — it’s an investment in endless memories in your backyard.
With your swimming pool professionally replastered and with proper care, that memory investment will pay off for years to come, whether you call McKinney, Allen, Plano, Wylie or anywhere else in the beautiful north Dallas metroplex area home.
