Thank you for writing in!
Excellent and informative video! Only thing I wish you including was average pricing. I am in GA. My PB is being vague about price. He just keeps trying to force me to go with standard stone pebble thats "included" in quote for pool build. Grateful for any help on how much more glass beads are vs. Mini pebbles.
$65 vs $80 ish on up a linear foot
Beautiful job looks amazing. I build pools for a living in florida. Pebble tec is the only thing that i use. However i do have 1 question about the job. During the prep of the pool i seen it was hydro blasted to remove the old interior. Do you guys not have to use a bond kote before interior is applied.?
no bond kote or scratch kote is usually when there is no demo, chip out or otherwise prep work...the hydroblast is sufficient scratching in"
Buen trabajo felicidades!..yo vivo en Yuma AZ donde puedo comprar ese material?...pienso hacerlo yo misma en mi alberca es chica ojalá me quede bien..gracias

Awesome job but where is your PPE
Pool looks great! How did you start it up though? what chems or products did you use?!
For pebble and glass finishes
Go for an acid start up
Then
Clean filter
Condition and chlorinate pool water
Nice. Do you add waterproofing admix agent to plaster? Would it help with longevity? I use anti-hydro for condrete work.
Thank you for writing in
I've never heard of the product you are mentioning being used
But I can ask around
Thanks for your comments🤜🤛
Excellent video! We are going with Stonescapes aqua white mini pebble with Puerto Rico blend. I had a hard time finding any pics of actual NPT glass beads. Am I missing something, or is there a place where you can see pics of actual beads? It would be nice to see all of the options to be able to decide on the recipe I want. Alternatively, would you just pick the colors based on the jewelscapes pics for bead selections??
There are showrooms
And samples are available
Ultimatepoolguy@gmail.com
Feel free to email me if you are in the los angeles area
Awesome work. What does the home owner do after it has been applied? Brush it for how many days and how often? Any other suggestions? I just had my pool done in Long Beach. It was hard to find a company to schedule us in. We also used NPT for the tile and pebble tec. Thank you in advance!
usually the company that installed the finish will do the "new pool start up procedure"...and balance the chemistry and return the pool to the homeowner ready for maintenance
otherwise it is brush everyday until there is no more plaster dust and get the filter serviced and the chemistry balanced
I guess we'll just have a huge crew for 16x40 12 ft deep pool... in July...
Do you use the house water supply for spraying or just filling? We have 1 spigot in the back and not great water pressure.
the filling process is time sensitive and important
run as many bibs as possible to the pool for filling
and 1 continuous fill without interruptions
so long hoses from the front etc..
Great video and pool work. What was clients total cost?
something like this should be somewhere 14-18k with tile approximately
if you need detailed estimations in Los Angeles area feel free to email here:
ultimatepoolguy@gmail.com
is there base or sub base to attach this to if removing old tiles , sand and grout taht was there. Any adhesive or plastering or it should go on a clean; smooth; Non sandy surface that is breaking apart from old tiles ?
the surface for the tile needs to prepped and smooth...this is done with a diamond cup wheel on an angle grinder...then the base is prepped with rapid set so it is nice and smooth
Hey looks great. What pebble color is this? Looks like an aqua blue?
Hello thank you for writing in
The resulting color was yacht club blue I believe with Tahoe blue pebble stones
I could be wrong
Hope this helps

wow so is that all glass beads, or a mixture of glass and pebble, also what's all over the Gunite it's kinda tan color, the old plaster? ,
after the chip out of the old plaster there are random chunks left stuck to the shell...this is normal and the rough surface lends itself to a higher bond strength...we add some pebble to the mix in increase overall bond strength in the mix...the glass alone is not enough and we get too much material "fall out"...hope this helps you out =)

Product line up
Just a suggestion, have pool cleaned and ready prior to the pebble install. It makes their lives much easier. They don't need to be fiddle faddling. Its a good thing that pebble is more forgiving, the chip out is horrible. I hope the finished product bonded. Years and years to learn ? Start with chip-out crew , show them how to do it properly. After I finish knocking of the high areas, I then broom it down and shovel out all the extra chips. Then wash wash it down and pump out all water. Then I schedule the pebble installation. Pebble looked nice.
thats a great suggestion ...thanks for writing in brother
Can anyone please give me an affordable pool plaster sub near Stuart FL? I need to save money and not get a general pool contractor. Please help. Love the glass bead look. Can you add glass beads to a cheaper plaster mix? If so where can you buy bulk gkass beads? Thank you for any help
Do you have a link of where I can buy the glass or pebbles from? Thanks great video!!!
Thank you very much for writing in and for your comment
The product we regularly use goes by the brand name jewelscapes and is available from SCP or npt which is a national and I believe International seller of the product
We are based out of Southern California and they have retail locations all around look into it and let me know if that's not working out for you I'll do a little research for you are particular geographic area
👍🦁📸
Hey is this pebble brilliance? or what color is this? this is amazing!
This is pebble with glass finish from NPT
We are located in Los Angeles California if you are located nearby you need some help feel free to email me
I believe this color was yacht club blue I'm not sure if it's offered like this anymore
ultimatepoolguy@gmail.com
Beautiful pool! What is the pebble color and the waterline tile? The tile looks like Verona or Martinique.
I have forgotten over the years in my old age and years of hard living

But for sure someone has asked before and its some where here on the comments

✅
We're building a pool in AZ and I was wondering if we can simply buy extra beads and have the guys add it to the mix when they show up or do you have to buy it all together due to the plaster ratio?
hello sir thanks for writing in...that is sort of a loaded question
yes in theory you can run out and purchase extra bags of whatever, glass bead, pebble, crushed abalone for accent purposes...however yes these are mixed in proportion to each other and ratios are followed, at least on my jobs, I would consult your builder or whomever is doing the work before making a purchase and let them know what it is that you would like to see done...at least this way whatever you purchase will suit your project
also in the video you can see a sample pallet that we made and showed the client so that they can select the ratio that looks good to them...all of my jobs are custom blends so each project and ratio is different from the previous
hope this helps
I guess what I was trying to say is that I would hate to see you run out and buy material and on the day of job it is not installing well...or looking right...these are logistics that we have sorted out prior
Not sure if it was mentioned but what color plaster is that? I know there is pebble/glass but the bluish plaster color? Diamond Brite?
this was npt/scp jewelscapes yacht club blue pebble with glass mix
Would love to know where you get your pool scaffolding from I saw one of your pool videos and a guy with thinning on what looked like a tripod scaffolding frame
hello thank you for writing in
these are called 'lean to scaffolding'
not osha approved and illegal...but the only thing to use around the pool and have been in the pool industry from the beginning
you must weld and fabricate these yourself...most professionals will have a long set (2) and a short set (2) to use around the pool and to put wooden planks on
hope that this helps
really thank you will be making would love to see a info vid on the tools and lean to scaffolding u use but i get the osha shit tytyty
th-cam.com/video/MYqySI64E90/w-d-xo.html
we did some small videos the other day
this was one of them
How long do you estimate to wait between plaster application and water mist to remove cream? Ambient temp 65-75 degrees
Everything happens all at once there's no waiting time there's calcium chloride in this mix so it's accelerated and burns
Do you guys use national pool tile for your materials
Yes sir!
The beads are ment to be part of the plaster mixture for a much more even finish.
🔥🔥🔥🔥
Wow
I bet that's so outta my price range
But for those who can afford it
Glass bead has to be Beautiful
these materials are available from SCP/NPT of you like to research them perhaps its closer to your budget than you may think
good luck out there
Good morning Mike! What is the specific color of this NPT beed? I have a customer here that I want to impress this material onto. THANKS
Yacht club blue 🔵
Npt
Updates their materials lists and changes their color names or will introduce new colors and new materials each year so this name perhaps may have changed since the time of this video being posted and this work being performed however I believe npt and SCP have a pretty complete online gallery for everybody to look at both the builders and the clients
I had my pool (sort of Sam size as this one) replastered about 15 months ago buy I drained the pool and let it sit in the sun for 9 months and now all the plaster cracked amd started lifting. Should I redo the pool plaster again or can it be saved? How much for such job?
ultimatepoolguy@gmail.com
Can you send some overall pictures of your pool here
Once the plaster layer starts separating that condition generally cannot be reversed in the pool should be redone
How much glass should I add to pebble sheen blue granite finish? I want enough to make it really pop.
This is difficult work and I would write this work extremely difficult issue attempting to do this yourself
There is such a thing as one hundred percent glass finish pools
And they're also is not a set specific ratio
And you can also hand broadcast the glass beads when you're in your final steps for accents and a more personalized finish
If you're working with a contractor I can recommend asking him for recommendations or to see samples
In this video that you're commenting on there's a portion of the video where I take you through my sample process where I showed you the samples that I laid out for the client to arrive at these results
I hope all this helps
@@UltimatePoolGuy yes definitely not doing this myself, lol. I just want to make sure contractor steers me right. With the amount y of bead needed. Thank you, Pool looked amazing
For this level of finish work I almost always provide samples to the clients before we show up for the remainder of the work to avoid problems at the end 👍
👍
🙌
Is glass more durable or as durable as pebble? And is it more expensive than pebble in general?
glass is in the same tier of finishes as pebble and yes its more expensive to work with
😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
pebbles/beads. Wha the recommended thickness to be applied to pool ?
3/8 thick approx. the width of your thumb...thicker in the corner and edges
@@UltimatePoolGuy What's the name of the tile? Love the color...
@@jenbrown3357 the tile is from NPT Suppliers and is called "Elkhorn Rustic" we also used matching deco pieces throughout...hope that this helps, and glad that you liked the video! =))
can you please show a video about tiling glass tiles over the entire pool?
Hello thank you very much for writing in and taking a look at some of our work
finishing an entire swimming pool structure with a tile finish is extremely expensive extremely labor-intensive and meticulous work we simply do not see that very much anymore these days and that level of work is usually reserved for lavish pool builds where it is obvious that a large sum of money has been spent
With all of that said in order for a tile finish swimming pool to not look boring patterns or geometric shapes are often times inter laid into the tile work itself
Aside from being extremely expensive and time-consuming the actual process of laying the tiles and completing that work is not very different from regular swimming pool waterline tile or tile work or tile installation in general
@@UltimatePoolGuy Thank you so much for the response! Do you recommend Pebble Brilliance or Glass pebbles? Just curious, how much do you charge for this work? Just for the pebbling of the pool. It looks so gorgeous, great work!
We primarily use
Pebble finish
Stonescapes product
Or
Glass finish
JewelScapes product
Or
Pebble/glass blend as shown in the video
These materials are sourced from scp/npt

can you guys recommend someone in Palm Springs or do you work down here too?
We can do a project in palm springs

@@UltimatePoolGuy could you recommend anyone in Sacramento area??
Gorgeous job here! I just had Diamond Brite French Gray done in my pool and it looks like hell. It's all streaked and spotted. I even have shoe prints in the bottom of the pool. The sales guy says that's normal. Bullshit. Don't get you pool done by Callahan Pool plastering in West Chester, Pa. And we looked at three other pools they did and their's looks worse.
hello
thank you for writing in...sorry to hear that you are having a bad experience...with colored plaster finishes that are not pebble or glass...so French grey, sea foam green, etc...colors with plaster...it is common for me to offer to my clients an acid wash somewhere around the 30 day mark so that the plaster has had time to cure...drain the pool and acid wash at that time can eliminate some of these issues and make the most of your colored finish...it seems redundant but is effective...any blemishes are exaggerated due to the contrast from the pigmentation
hope that this helps=)
Only problem is we say another person's pool that had the same problem. They got theirs acid washed and now it looks like black cement. And I'm now exaggerating!
I hear you...for the streaking, spotting, and boot marks the only corrective measure is an acid wash...you can try having your pool service run high chlorine to bleach things out & hydration from being full of water sometimes helps
I never like to recommend legal action however if you feel you have received poor craftsmanship you can always request to have your job re-done or ask for a refund...both of which is commonplace
Thanks for responding!
no problem...best of luck
Nice. Where is that pool? Does the owner allow to look at it? We may be interested in your work.

thanks!
I also specialise in pool surface application and have done so for 40 years in Sydney, Australia. Its good to see how its done on the otherside of the world but have to let you guys know your application procedure is very primitive. Pool looks good when full of water but to the trained eye the finish is very patchy and wouldnt pass with most Sydney pool builders. There are ways to do this finish using much less men (4 guys would do this on my crew), no need to plastic the surrounds and exposing needs to be done using a gernie/pressure washer. There are obviously more tricks to the trade which i cant disclose but a heads up there is a much quicker, better and easier way to do this. Good Luck!
I agree, pressure washing would've probably been much better than the acid bath. It exposes more of the aggregates.
love to hear more on how it should be done. I"m in Asia and can expect what I get. Plaster surface. Thickness of these glass beads etc ?
32 yr experienced terrazzo Mechanic a real Italian trade Old School lol"80'ss my,company #hardrockmarbleandtile
@@ed.t.hansen6499 damn way out there pensylvania here lol
My pool guys used a very low pressure washer to Expose the beads, then the next day, they use the acid to remove any of the haze on top of the beads. The pool finish came out amazing.
Question regarding pricing: Can you ballpark/guestimate on differences in price. I've always heard pebble tec is more expensive than replastering, is it and by how much? Regular replaster/Pebble and/or glass? Thank you, love your videos and your work.
hello thank you for writing in
i can break down a sample project like this
white plaster 4,500
grey plaster 5,000
pebble finish 6750
glass finish 8500
approximate costs...
our glass finish pools do have some pebble in the mix to increase bond strength and help with a condition we call material fall-out which is a problem with 100% glass mixes
also the overall costs of each job are ultimately defined by the linear footage around the work area and the end finish product the client selected
darker colors are usually more $$
hope this guideline of costs is helpful
Yes, thank you. That's exactly what I was looking for, I just wish you were located around the Phoenix Arizona area. Do you personally know or have a friend in Phoenix that does replastering that you can recommend?
sure you can try the "pool rescuers" you tube channel I think now called "pool pros"
although I don't think that they do plaster work they may have a good referral for you that may work out...they release a lot of acid wash, tile cleaning and service related video work
Ryan? I think is the contact
Much Appreciated!
no worries best of luck
Curious, I'm doing a pool for a customer now, 1205sf interior finish. She chose Premix Midnight Blue, I wanted to add glass beads as an extra accent but installer talked me into abalone shell. Could I have broadcasted glass beads into Premix Quartz finish? Thanks for any reply, Jenn
hello...crushed abalone is a nice choice for accent and bling effect...yes you could have hand broadcasted just like you see in our video however we are almost always doing it when we are dealing with a base mix that is already glass or pebble respectively throughout...I think the advise for abalone was sound and a color quartz finish with crushed abalone is a very nice finished product, hope this helps
How much does something like that cost? Pool is 19,000 gallons. 11x16 feet, 6 1/2 feet deep and 4 ft
The overall bottom line is going to be dictated by your choice of color as well as choice of blend we rarely you will use 100% glass beads as we experienced a great deal of material Fallout so we will blend the glass beads with complimenting colors in Pebble the pebble helps to increase the bond strength and reduce material Fallout for example we could use a 50/50 blend of glass and Pebble or an 80/20 blend of glass and pebble
Generally speaking if you multiply your linear footage by $82 up to $88 a linear foot this helps get you somewhere in the Spectrum bottom line costs
It is common for me to offer a bundle package deal with other work that we are doing such as tile installation and some other custom work I can then start trimming down costs here and there to put together something competitive and tight to the client
☝️ hope all of this is helpful to you sir🕺🏾🎬🎬
Why are you breathing so heavy? Sick ass pool. Nice job dude.
thanks for writing in
we oftentimes turn up the sensitivity on the lav mics when we are in the field so that you can hear me over the work
or it could be my anxiety disorder, or I may be a few lbs overweight, or i was high at the time of recording, or my numerous pending court cases?

What is your mix design? What goes into the mix?
regular plaster mix with color as base + and then it is a custom blend of pebble and glass, usually whatever has been agreed upon prior to the job starting + then we will usually had broadcast some accent on the top as the job is developing in the video you see us tossing glass as the accent, crushed abalone is also popular but more common on a pebble only application
UltimatePoolGuy do you just use plain cement with pebbles or add sand too? What ratios?
The plaster base is white sand and white cement any color pigmentation added is added in a specific ratio specific and particular to that color pigmentation
Likewise the pebble and glass ratios are job-specific adding specific colors of pebble and glass as well as the overall ratio of pebble to glass is all specific to each job and customer selection
UltimatePoolGuy thanks. What sort of sand you guys use? What sand cement ratios?
plaster over gunite; then the glass beads or pebbles go on this ?
how to know my contractor does it right ? No standards here !!! How much plaster; how thick the bead material ? Looks great when done. some call it pebbles but actually glass beads. Priscina HD looking material . I am concerned about plaster over my old sand and whats left from old tiles.
The pebble or glass bead is mixed in on the plaster truck in the batch maker it is a uniform part of the plaster job sometimes we will hand apply glass bead for accent purposes during the job you may see some of this type of hand broadcasting in the video

Is this pebble tech or pebble sheen?
This is mini pebble from scp/npt with glass
Equivalent to pebble sheen I believe
Why is the gunite so rough
the chipping process is to remove the previous plaster and to rough the surface so the new plaster will stick to it

I wished I had someone that would actually help me figure out a basic recipe for plaster color and glass beads to go in or on plaster. I am going to roll on the plaster and spread it down with a rubber lined trowel or 10” rubber edge lined big putty trowel. I did not even realize how damn big or surface area my pool is. I can’t afford to buy slide Crete or the other roll on plaster. There just had to be a cheaper way to buy plaster abs ore measure everything myself. Slider mix said I hv to roll a rough base coat down first and that would cost me 800.00, did not know I needed that rough first coat, then I needed 2 layers of Sider Crete, and I would need a total of 64 bags of sider Crete plus the glass beads I hv no idea how many bags. My pool is kidney shaped and 34 feet long widest across is 19 feet across, shortest across is 12 feet across, middle measurement across is 14 feet across, deep end is 8’ deep, shallow end is 4 feet deep inbetween deep end and shallow end depth is aporox 6’ deep, I’m coming up with 1,230 sq feet approx.
can anyone help me, my job I lost due to locked the doors not telling anyone and owing me a months of salary, I’m really freaking screwed, hv wife and kids granddaughters depending on me to get this pool done for them to go swimming. I’m freaking so stressed out I don’t know squat about pool plaster, I power washed all the old paint that woukd come off with power washer for 14 hours, acid washed it real good I have 1/2 of the waterline tile put up and using Laticrete 254 platinum mortar, 6” tile, so far looks great, filling cracks with the mortar as I find them, the original gunite or plaster has come off down to cement in a lot of spots I recoat Bare spots with mortar. My granddaughters think I’m Superman, I cannot let them down whatever I do. Please someone with experience please reach out to me with a simple recipe or cheaper way to buy and mix my roll on plaster. It sucks I feel helpless being broke, never in 62 years of my life hv I been this broke or not able to but what I need to redo a project pool company wanted 20,000 redo pool and tile, cheapest was 17,000. Been praying hard that someone will reach out to me and let me in on a pool industry secret I won’t tell a soul, just need to know best plaster I can use abs how to mix it do I put glass beads in while mixing plaster? As well color or powdered dye to make colored tile wife is wanting the blue medium gray water tint every company has their own name for the color, but it’s blue water color with a gray color to it really pretty color water. Please hopefully the man upstairs will push someone to help me or tell me a cheap but great product plaster I can buy that’s cheaper than sider Crete r pool patch roll on plaster, my faith is strong so far. Praying more tonight thanks anyone and GOD bless you whoever you are.

I found dyes, I need a cheap ass plaster that I mix up abs roll on line sider Crete or pool patch. I gotta have nearly 60 bags of that shit, 3,300.00 I do t have that plus I gotta hv 800.00 worth of roll on rough coat base coat so total of nearly 4,000.00 plus tools, which is hell of a lot cheaper than 25,000 but 50.00 is a hell of a lot if you ain’t got it. Ya know lol. My pool is so damn big I wanted to cover it up and make a rotator garden out of it but wife said no. Andwith her body she has I keep her happy lol
I did not realize it was so big but surface area is little over 1,350 square feet surface area. 58,000 gallons water. I really need some help in a bad way, I’m usually the one helping everybody else, all my friends, I sent 3 really close friends thru 4 years of college, one 6 years, and not a one of them has. Asked checked on me asked about my knee or if things are going good nothing. But I shouldn’t bitch about that really, or I shoujd’nt hv paid for their schools. But I need a good plaster that I can dye that is cheaper I am going to add polished glass to plaster also or throw it into plaster after I roll it on. There has to be a plaster that’s cheaper than sider Crete, they started off with plaster too. But anyways thanks for the dye Info. I just don’t know enough about pool plaster to figure out what exactly it is I need. But I don’t want to paint it I know that that’s why I am dying it. Roll it on thick, throw on some polished glass, take rubber lined trowel, smooth it down, let cure fir 24 hours put another layer on, trowel down smooth, let cure fir 3 days, fill with water, I’m nearly done with water line tile now about half way done. The. I don’t know I guess just fill with water I don’t hv money for plaster right now
Were they cleaning with muriatic acid??!! No mask or eye pro??
Yes correct
Its not recommended
But we do this everyday
Swimming pools can be dangerous if you don't take care of them
Sounds good 💥💥
Thank you for writing in
The resulting color was "Yacht Club Blue"
Can you please help me to understand, you guys applied natural diamond brite and added glass and pebbles? The jewelscapes is the pebbles? Did you mix the glass and pebbles or first you add the pebbles and after you added the glass... please help me tomorrow I have a group coming to do my pool
@@gloriahernandez7107 there is no diamond brite in this mix...this is a plaster base and a pebble / glass blend
@@gloriahernandez7107 the blend can be mixed and ratioed on the truck and then additional glass can be "hand broadcast" throughout the pool during the final layer / usually 2 layers...like you see in the video
UltimatePoolGuy omg thank you so much, in a 30x15 pool.. how much glass and pebbles do you think I should need? In your personal opinion is this process better that diamond brite?
it is difficult to predict your ratio...if you have been getting pitched diamond brite you may be on the east coast or mid west region where scratch coat plaster jobs and diamond brite is commonplace
Where are you guys out of?
Los Angeles California
