OPINION: The pool's interior plastering is referred to as a color called "Tahoe Blue". This color is essentially accomplished by adding a varied amount of grey pigment to the white plaster cement when mixing the plaster. The more grey added, the darker the color effect will result. Depending upon several factors, Tahoe Blue plaster can develop a blotchy or modeling result exhibiting contrasting light and dark areas. Although this may have very little to do with the plastering sufrace's longevity, cosmetically it is sometimes met with objections.
REASONS FOR SUCH RESULTS: Because the hydration added to the original plastering mix at the time of the installation, the time duration between completing the pool's plastering application and the filling time span at the pool's completion, the daytime temperature and sun exposure on the plastered surface while filling, the water chemistry adjustments after filling and the ongoing water chemistry maintenance,...it is impossible to determine exactly why and how the color variances have occurred.
RECOMMENDATION: If the cosmetic appearances of the pool's plastering irregularities are unappealing then, re-plastering the pool may be a remedy.
