One thing many pool contractors don't mention is the importance of plaster care during the curing period of 30 days from application. Finishes like Diamond Brite that have darker color hues can develop discolorations, pitting, scaling, and streaks if the water chemistry isn't handled properly during this time. We always advise our clients of proper care for their pool and to brush the surface once per day for the first month.
