Re: Just bought a home with a pool... so I'm a newbie. Got some questions
My personal pool experience has been almost exclusively with plastered commercial pools . . . and I don't know of ANY reason why a plastered pool HAS to be re-plastered, just because a pool is leaking.
+ If the pool leaks, the problem is usually not the plaster, but something else. Once that's fixed, you may have to patch the plaster.
+ Rough plaster can be hard on swimmer's feet . . . but you can adapt and survive till next season.
+ Ugly plaster is, well, ugly. But, it's a personal issue and not a pool function issue.
If it were me, I'd drain and clean, once you are past danger of a hard freeze (which CAN damage the plaster) and then re-assess.
