Well it's been over a month since the job was completed, I posted my not so positive Burkett's review and had a visit from Matt, one of the owners promising me that they "would make things right"- but finally- today, they were out to try to fix some defects in the plaster.

Since the completion of the pool, the surface of the dark blue plaster has been forming white blotchy spots which has gotten worse over time. Matt recommended doing a No-drain acid wash to try to fix the issue. The process involves turning off the pool equipment, submerging a pump to circulate water and drop the PH of the pool to the point where it's so acidic that it eats the film that's been collecting on the surface. The process started today and is supposed to last until Friday, when they will return and balance the pool to a swimmable condition (just in time for the long weekend). I have to brush the surface twice per day, however it doesn't hurt to do it more often, so today I brushed 3 times.
After about 12 hours I started to notice that the film was beginning to go away revealing what seemed to be a much darker plaster surface (which we paid for in the first place). Fingers crossed, but we hope this fixes one of major problems.
