Acid washing the spa plaster did nothing, and aggressive cleaning did nothing for the pool deck. We scheduled an inspection with the two companies that made the quartz plaster in the spa and the coating for the pool deck. Today we had corporate reps from the actual products used. For the Spa, as I know already they cite poor pool maintenance on the part of the pool company. They cite overuse and under use of chemicals caused the quartz to eat at the quartz and also turn the water to a green patina.
As for the deck, Since I last reported, the coating started chipping away and the top coat is peeling off in some areas. The company rep cited moisture coming up from under the concrete slab. The area where the deck is peeling is right next to a landscaped area with bushes and three palm trees. As for the deck discoloration comes from standing water. And the rep asked how often is the pool serviced? do they hose down the deck and are they keeping the pool chemicals in check.
All the fingers except the vapor coming up from under the deck point to the pool cleaner. As I have been saying for the last 5 years this pool cleaner is a JOKE.
As for the landscaping, I hate to cut down palm trees. We are going to get some input if they can be transplanted elsewhere on the property. As for the bushes, at the last resort they'll have to go.
Gonna try to adjust the watering schedule especially on the palms.
funny tho, The landscapers have been here for two years and all the sudden water from the landscaping is coming up under the pool deck.
If my math is correct 2+2 still equals 4 and that may mean adios landscapers along with the pool cleaner.
