This was a well-done explanatory video of the steps to resurface the pool. What brought me to dig into this video was to get information on how to do it. I live in Florida and when we purchased our home the pool was in really bad condition. As I was cleaning it one day I felt a soft spot under and to my surprise there was a hole where then one more and more and so the in the walls the plaster was coming off. I don't have money to pay a company but I consider myself very handy and have the time to do it. I might will bather you when getting in there with a couple questions if you don't mind. Thank you so much and I look forward to checking out more videos on your channel.

Hitting the aggregate with a pressure washer takes off most of the dust that covers the aggregate, once you acid wash it it will make the aggregate pop a little more. Once the pool is filled you brush everyday for 30 days and that will help take off even more of that dust layer from the finish. Keeping the pool acidic during the curing process will help as well.

They should’ve pressure washed the pool after they chipped everything out. The pressure wash was pointless since there was more dust created. Another thing is the shell of the pool should be dried with weed burner torches unless the sun dried it out. If the old plaster or gunite is wet or damp the bond kote won’t adhere as well. Also I can’t believe none of them are wearing PPE. I do this exact process for my job everyday and there is so much bad stuff in there Omgggg 🤢

No necessarily, if done correct it can be cleaned during the process as they did and after with a brush and flat head to remove any plaster in the grout. However, I did find it odd that they did not acid wash it prior to adding bond kote and no mixer?¿

My only concern is that they are all doing this without some sort of face mask. Like do you all want concrete lungs?

I know that was very questionable, but that’s what these guys do every day and of course they’re smoking too
