Depending on a variety of local factors and your individual pool-water treatment routine, the typical lifespan of traditional plaster is 7 to 10 years. If the finish includes a quartz aggregate blend, the time table should extend. Call us for a free estimate, as damaged plaster can damage your pool structure.
our team of plaster artisans have a combined 50 years of experience with a quality hand-applied technique that is a one-of-a-kind work of art.
We use the finest certified materials, and provide a quality pool plaster, that you can trust.
Most manufacturers recommend a complete tear down and cleaning of the pool filter at least two times per year. The exact number of recommended cleanings depends on the size of your pool, and the size and type of your pool filter.
Perform this simple test using an ordinary 5 gallon plastic bucket to determine if your pool is leaking and losing more water than it should due to its normal evaporation.
- Bring pool water to normal level
- Fill bucket with pool water to about 1 inch from the top
- Place bucket on 1st or 2nd step of the pool
- Mark water level on inside of bucket
- Shut off pump and mark pool water level on outside of bucket
- Resume normal pump operation
- After 24 hours, compare the two water levels. If the pool water (outside mark) goes down more than the inside water level, there is probably a leak.
(Test is invalid after 24 hours)
You should never drain your pool. Always use a licensed, experienced professional. Concrete and fiberglass pools can float out of the ground like a huge boat. The liners in vinyl pools can shrink in a matter of a few hours.
Most residential pool filtration systems are sized to circulate and filter the water twice in an 8-hour period. It is recommended that you run your pool pump for 6-8 hours in the winter and 10-12 hours in the summer.
This decision is ultimately up to the individual owner. The typical range is 78-82 degrees Fahrenheit. Keep in mind that the energy consumption for each degree rise in warmth will cost from 10 to 30% more in energy costs.
No, unfortunately most above ground pools do not have the large filter systems necessary to have reliable filtration, and circulation that we need to ensure customer satisfaction.
No, it is critical that a pool has good circulation, filtration and agitation (scrubbing) of the surface in order to prevent algae. All pools must have a working timer, pump, cleaner and filter, so we can reduce algae growth in between visits.
For a relatively small investment, a variable speed pool pump can reduce pool pump energy use by 50% to 75%. The majority of the savings is derived from a variable speed pump’s ability to reduce the rpm of the motor, thus reducing energy use, and saving you money over many years.

Yes, absolutely! We can install beautiful color-changing lights that will enhance the look of your pool.
The incredibly efficient color-changing pool lights are made up of combinations of individual color LED lights that are automatically sequenced at varying speeds, producing a vibrant spectrum of hues. Cycle through colors, or keep it on a specific color. The superior design allows for uniform light intensity and color while avoiding hot spots and glare.
