Arizona sun, heat and hard water are tough on pool finishes. If you're seeing any of these signs, it's worth getting your pool inspected.
As plaster ages it gets rough and sandpapery. If kids come out with scraped toes or swimsuits are snagging, the finish is wearing through.
Brown, green, black or rust-colored stains that stay after brushing and chemical treatment are often embedded in a porous, aging surface.
UV exposure and water chemistry break down the finish over time, leaving it chalky, mottled or dull.
If the surface sounds hollow when tapped, or pieces are flaking off, the finish has separated from the layer underneath. This usually means resurfacing is needed soon.
Fine surface cracks are common in older plaster. Larger cracks should be checked by a pro, since they can point to bigger problems.
West Valley water is hard. Calcium scale at the waterline and on the surface is common, and heavy buildup often goes hand-in-hand with an aging finish.
Small pits or a rough, etched texture usually mean the water chemistry has been eating into the surface.
Arizona evaporation is high, but if you're refilling much more than usual, a leak through a damaged surface or fitting could be the cause.
Rough, porous surfaces give algae places to hide, making it harder to keep the pool clean even with good chemistry.
A worn finish protects the pool shell less and less. Waiting too long can turn a resurfacing job into a bigger repair. Getting an inspection early lets you plan and budget.
