PEBBLE
Our pebble crew will be on site to start installing the interior of the pool, this is
a 3 step process to ensure the quality of the pebble meets Thunderbird Pools
standards.
The first step is to install pebble, the crew will set up a tarp to avoid spraying
any parts of the home and begin to pump the pebble aggregate (like a firehose),
then it will be hand troweled. The pebble will appear light and cloudy, THIS
IS NORMAL, the true color of the pebble will not be shown until the acid
wash.
The second step is the acid wash, buff and begin filling the pool. This process
will expose the aggregate and show the true color of the pebble. There must be
a hose on site for the crew to begin filling the pool after the acid wash is
complete. You will receive an email with filling instructions, please review
those carefully.
DO NOT STOP THE WATER FLOW UNTIL IT REACHES MIDDLE OF THE
WATERLINE TILE
The last step is the 30-DAY curing process, like a fine wine or cheese the
pebble gets better with age. It takes 30 days for the true essence of the pebble
to show, we will check the pool at 7 days and 30 days after the initial startup.
ESTIMATED PHASE TIME: 2 DAYS
