Can the crew start later in the day so they finish with the pool in the shade then let it sit over night then acid wash next morning?
It's 100 here at 7pm Pool is east west so always has sun. I think the day they are planning it will be 107. Been wait weeks for pebble tec pool was shot create in april. Just had concrete for deck pored waited weeks in line limited number of workers and shortage of cement. my contractor is great but vegas is overwhelm with pools being built.. Contractor says it will set up quick , lite acid wash and fill. says with being as hot has it is and such small area pool better to fill same day if pool dries quickly like expected my understanding is pebble tec people will do early morning due to small pool and move on to bigger pool they do 2-3 pools a day. finish crew will come later in day and do acid wash and final set up and start fill
