The appearance and expected
service life of pool plaster can be affected by water chemistry. A low pH
acidic condition can etch plaster, creating a rough, pitted surface that
degrades faster. High pH, alkaline water causes calcium deposits called scaling
to form, eventually discoloring the plaster. High levels of iron, copper or
other minerals in the fill water will cause stains, and frequent acid washing
due to algae issues deteriorates plaster. There are basically two methods for
starting up a freshly plastered pool, chlorine start, or acid start. Avoid
swimming during the break-in period, and no pool cleaner use, and only light
vacuuming.
