alternatives to replaster

[SouKa2023]

so is ecofill better than replastering pool? I heard it lasts 30 plus years and replastering lasts 8-10. We just replastered and i now am figuring this out!

Please advise

Actually i think it's called ecofinish??

Ecofinish by Aquabright?
I believe you still need a smooth surface to apply this to.
Maybe @bdavis466 will chime in.

I have had my plaster pool going on 18 years now and don't expect to replaster for at least another 5 years. What is happening to your plaster pool where it is only lasting 8-10 years.

BTW, staining can be repaired.

Yes but isn't the ecofinish better than plaster? It's also organic?

Warranty is 10 years like most plaster finishes:

Plus it is prorated.

If it was that much better, they would have a longer warranty.

The only thing it probably does have over plaster is it will be more inert to chemistry mismanagement. This is what usually ages plaster pools pre-maturely.


This is why they think it is eco-friendly:

EcoFinish is an eco-friendly pool finish that is safe and sustainable. It is environmentally friendly because it:

• Requires fewer chemicals to maintain balanced water chemistry
• Reduces waste associated with plaster and paint
• Uses no heavy trucks or equipment to transport, reducing fossil fuel use
• Produces little to no waste during installation
• Completely seals the pool interior, reducing water loss
• Contains no solvents
• Contains no harmful VOCs or other toxic substances
• Greatly reduces the use of chemicals to balance pH

EcoFinish is also suitable for resurfacing and restoring older projects including concrete, steel, and hybrids.

But the coating is a polymer which doesn't seem all that "ECO" to me.

ecoFINISH aquaBRIGHT longterm review

So I’ve had several people sending private messages about how I like the ecoFINISH aquaBRIGHT coating on our pool. Since there seems to be so little information out there on people’s opinions or experiences with the product, I thought that I would start a long term review thread. I’ll try to...
