Lyn's Pool Build Owner Builder in Louisiana

[cdocon]

Hi Lyn. We are in Natchitoches. We are also doing the owner/builder route. I see that you built in 2006, but was wondering if you had any advice as to the initial startup after the diamond brite finish? We are supposed to have our Diamond Brite sprayed in the next couple of days from a plasterer in Baton Rouge. It looks like they are supposed to come the day after the initial DB is applied in order to do an acid wash. Did your guy do that? I have conflicting reports regarding when to add salt, when to brush, when to allow the kids to swim? Any advice would be welcome.

Lyn hasn't logged in to PoolForum since 2007, so I wouldn't look for an answer.

I would talk with the person that applies the finish and acid wash and ask those questions, so that you stay within the warranty requirements, even if those instructions differ from what you've been told elsewhere. The bottom line is that you'll need to do what the person offering the warranty says to, otherwise if something happens, it's gonna be a really expensive fix....

Great to see other Louisiana folks on the forum!!
