Pool plastering involves several steps to ensure a durable and aesthetically pleasing finish. Here’s an overview of the proces.                           1. Draining the Pool

The first step is to drain the pool completely. This is usually done using a submersible pump to remove all the water.

### 2. Surface Preparation

- **Cleaning**: The existing surface is cleaned thoroughly to remove any debris, algae, or dirt.

- **Chipping Out**: Any damaged or loose plaster is chipped away to create a solid base. This may involve removing the top layer of the old plaster.

- **Acid Wash**: The pool surface is often treated with an acid wash to etch the surface, providing a better bonding surface for the new plaster.

- **Priming**: A bonding agent may be applied to the prepared surface to ensure the new plaster adheres properly.

### 3. Mixing the Plaster

The plaster mix is prepared according to specific ratios, ensuring the right consistency and strength. This mix typically includes cement, sand, water, and sometimes additives for color or enhanced durability.

### 4. Applying the Plaster

- **First Coat**: The plaster is applied in layers. The first coat, known as the scratch coat, is spread evenly across the pool surface.

- **Second Coat**: After the first coat sets, a second, smoother coat is applied. Workers use trowels to ensure an even and smooth finish.

### 5. Smoothing and Finishing

The plaster is smoothed out using trowels to eliminate any imperfections. Workers may go over the surface multiple times to ensure a consistent texture.

### 6. Curing

Once applied, the plaster needs to cure properly. The pool is typically refilled with water within 24 to 48 hours to help with the curing process. It’s crucial to maintain the correct water chemistry during this period to prevent discoloration or damage.

### 7. Brushing and Balancing

The pool surface is brushed several times a day during the first week to remove any plaster dust and to help with the curing process. The water chemistry is closely monitored and adjusted as needed to ensure proper pH and alkalinity levels.

### 8. Final Inspection

After the curing process is complete, a final inspection is done to ensure the plaster has set correctly and there are no visible defects.

### Maintenance

Ongoing maintenance involves regular brushing, proper water chemistry management, and occasional acid washing to keep the plaster in good condition.

By following these steps, pool plastering provides a refreshed, smooth, and visually appealing surface that enhances both the functionality and appearance of the pool.
