Back at it again to build another amazing pool 🛠️
We plastered this pool with Aqua Azul Mini Pebble
This pool will be so beautiful once it is filled with water!

Hi, son of a pool installer here. If you want an _actually_ pretty colour, a cream or sandy liner will make the water look turqouise. Thank you for coming to my TED talk
Idk man, turquoise pool water sounds dirty
i dont even own a pool, but now i want to have the 90's anime turquoise water
You son of a pool installer! Givin out Ted talks!
@@liamnadeau1110how condescending of you.
Why do people always say “X here” like they are hosting the worst rated television special in human history. No one cares.
I remember a pool on vacation that had a rough bottom. I couldn’t swim so I walked on my toes. After a couple days, my toes were absolutely shredded.
Happened to me too, I hate that material.
Damn how strong are your toes now
Exactly.
Yup happens to the best of us
Thats why you dont go in a pool if you dont know how to swim. thats literally what they were made to do
Ah yes this feels like a pool that’s not pleasing to look at, clean, or walk on. Perfect
Ah yes, the expert too poor to own a pool
@@fitz394 ah yes, the commenter who pretends to know everyone.
Looking at is subjective, and cleaning will be fine with a pool cleaner. Walking on it will suck though.
@@aarishowton8037 hell of a lot easier to clean when its tiled or just smooth in general. Try cleaning a sheet of sandpaper and tell me whether its as easy as cleaning glass
@fitz394 I suggest you look up what “projecting” means.
Sent from my pool
I'm glad I'm not the only one who remembers getting blisters from this type of pool. Hallelujah for swim shoes lol.
We need swim knee pads too...😵
As a professional pool plaster technician I can say that this will %100 percent guaranteed scratch the hell out of you.
Wrong. I have a pool with pebbletec and it doesn’t scratch at all unless you purposely drag yourself across the bottom
@@couchpotatoes5158 Problem with that is a majority of people will likely do that and in turn scratch the hell out of you
@@couchpotatoes5158 that’s trash
@couchpotatoes5158 yeah, broken glass also doesn't scratch if you don't drag yourself on it.
@@couchpotatoes5158 "You're wrong even though it's your job to do work on pools uwu 🤡"
Educate yourself, its pathetic
memories have been found deep in my brain with that texture
That texture took a layer of my toes skin off

hello friend
@@someone7554 something like that
Bout as pleasant as walking on shattered glass legos 😂😂
Ah th classic childhood scratches you'd get from there
I don't know why anyone would want a pool that scratches the hell out of you
That female bot is more abrasive!
Alot of pools are abrasive
My parents own one and it’s still doing great at 25+ years
Man if you find yourself scratched by the pool walls, or even floor, you have got to stay out of the pool because natural selection is after you 😂❤️

My great grandma used to live in an apartment complex that had a pool with the scratchy pebble bottom. It hurt to walk back to her condo 😭
My grandparents have this too, thankfully it's been worn down over the years😅
@@Uppandaway this was back in the 90s in my case, and it was fresh pebble bottom 😂😭😬💀 There was a little grass lot before you got to the parking lot that you had to cross to walk back to the apartment, that grass HURT 😭😭😭 So glad for the memories though 🥰
My grandma had a pool with a bottom so bad that after 3 minutes I walked out with the skin of the bottom of my feet torn off and floating out in the pool
my feet are always SHREDDED after going to my besties pool
FR LIKE WHY DO THESE EXIST
We gettin our feet and body annihilated with this one 🗣🗣🗣🔥🔥
Ick. I like when pools have that soft, squishy material all around it. Not a hard ground scraping your skin, like this.
This is the kind of pool to make your toes bleed
😂 no it won't.
@@iamimperfectionperfected4i literally cut my foot jumping into one of these pools at like 13 years old, yes they can and will cut ur feet
@@ChainzMBM you can cut yourself in any pool if you're jumping in. 😂
@@iamimperfectionperfected4nah these pools mess you up there wouldn’t be a day where at least 3 toes werent cut up and not from jumping it was from the pool floor
@@ChainzMBMyou ain’t supposed to jump unless it’s relatively deep
Customer: you know how it feels to step on a gravel driveway?
Pool guy: yeah?
Customer: that but with small sharp rocks
Pool guy: say no more fam
hahahahahhahah
xD
My back hurts just looking at them work.
Bahahaha I died with this one! ☝️
No the water makes it so you float duh it’s like being at the beach but much safer
these kind of pools ripped my toe up once, multible places multible times
Pools like this taught me to float when I was younger
You never want to stop that filter nor neglect that pool.
exactly and it’s the way light congeals that makes a pool appear crystal blue … painting it will not distract from waste matter or plant material and it certainly will not make the pool appear more vibrant
You never want to stop that filer nor neglect that pool.
You never want to stop that filer nor neglect that pool.
@@fairygodbrotherr i think that with the smaller backyard pools they dont have the water capacity to get that blue from the water and light itself (i work with private membership type pools so a lot bigger (most the time))
I got a popcorn plaster wall in my apartment and it will always confuse me why the landlord didn’t just repaint the smooth surface. Stuff is falling apart
Be careful, old popcorn plaster can contain asbestos. I’d get that checked just in case
Popcorn ceiling is an abomination, but popcorn walls!?
To cover up poor gyprock and plaster/drywall work, or other issues, probably
@@ilikeshinyobjektsI can't decide if it's better or worse than just having the shitty patches visible. That's what they did at my old place it never really bothered me, plus when I moved out I just did half assed patches where my dog and friends kids fucked up the walls and still got my whole deposit back
@@bda529Welcome to europe, or at least Spain and their 60's fever of make everything popcorn
hell, my building is from 2006 and it has ceiling and walls of popcorn. But at least is the smooths more bigger kind (like water drops) instead of the scraping the hell into your soul type of popcorn
I can feel my knees scraping against the bottom of that pool
The guy slowly carving and flattening the sifes you can tell hes having a good time. Smooooooooth
As someone who works in pool maintenance I can say that pebble plaster will indeed scratch the hell out of you..
Edit: also to add on, yes algae does like to sneak itself in between the pebbles and can be really hard to spot depending on the color of the plaster... there's honestly no functional improvement getting pebble tech over regular pool plaster or hell even fiberglass, it just costs way more, feels worse on wet skin, and is a bitch to install... NOT TO MENTION that there are so many builders that don't know wtf they're doing, making the plaster installation uneven with the pebbles, resulting in large (and very noticeable) light spots of concrete that need to be acid washed in order to get rid of...
I always hated that texture
Must be so annoying to clean too
Why the hell you rubbing your limbs all over the pool?
@@LaFawnduh-td5qc well sometimes you need to hold onto the ledge and you sometimes walk on the bottom of the pool also sometimes you just get rubbed up against the sides yk
This and the other top comment gives me life
We did this to our last pool and my kids complained daily about it scratching them. It was beautiful, but glad we moved to a different house that happened to have a tiled pool. 100% better! No scratched feet, elbows, knees etc!!
Tiled pools can also be bad depending on the tile spacing and other factors although they can also be good if the tiles are large and very close together and well morted I think that’s how you spell it
Just wondering why did you do that to your pool
@@Someoneoninonet_mkmfpy because it needed a complete restoration. It was not usable when we first purchased the house. PebbleTec made the most sense to us because it lasts for 25 years or longer without having to replaster. From that standpoint we loved it.
Is this the type of plaster that I'd scrape my knees on whenever I'd go to the pool as a kid?
Remembering that one time that i went to a pool like this, and had a small cut on my foot, the entire skin came off bc of the scratchiness of the pool floor + the water pruning my skin ♡♡♡
I got one of the worst stubbed toes in a pool like this once. I can still feel it just looking at this 😂😂
Any company that uses the tiktok voice and makes up fake customer interactions is beyond out of touch.
Yeah bro. Being successful? Cringe. People should not market themselves or advertise at all, they should just follow old @jimboslam for the right way to run a successful business, because clearly he has all the answers.
Dont forget the "subscribe for part 2" bullshit
Cringe as hell
😂😂😂
I love them 😂
Just gotta let the boys do their work! Nice freaking pool.
I grew up with a pool that was finished like this and I really loved the rough texture. Ours was done in a sandy colour, though. There was something so blissfully tactile about it. I always felt weird going to friends houses with tiled pools.
I can feel myself scratching my feet along the edge of the steps
Is nobody going to talk about the fact they still haven't posted the damn results?
Right!!!?? I wanna see the results!!!
unfortunately- the person who posted this video is the company who makes these pools, and it’s just an advertisement for the pool. however i don’t ever recommend getting a pool with these walls and floors. it’s very painful, especially if you hit the wall. the texture will scratch you and often might cut through the skin. (both have happened to me several times)
Omg that will be so beautiful. I personally wouldve mixed in a bit of turquoise randomly to really make it look like a pebbly ocean floor
its just like walking on sandpaper! refreshing!
When you don’t want people to hangout in your pool for too long, you trap them toes😂
Petition for people to stop using the annoying tik tok voices 🤚
✋
✋ they are a blight on society

I got something very similar in my pool and no, it does not hurt you at all, it’s just more grippy and in my opinion looks nicer.
I’m weird because I really like the scratchy feeling pool floors. Very texturally satisfying on my feet. Not quite as nice on my hands, but nothing ever is.
As a pool tech, pebble tec is a pain in the ass to keep clean, it’s rough on your feet and when it starts to deteriorate the pebbles start falling out and fucking everything up. It’s like swimming in rocks. Weird.
Edit: that’s my opinion. 🤷🏼♂️
And it’s kind of common as in that opinion is kind of common
My grandma has a pool with mini pebble plaster and it hurts so much to even step on. If you’re not careful you could really hurt yourself, it’s literally so easy to get scraped by that stuff.
You can also get algae growing between the pebbles and it’s ridiculously hard to get out.
Basically what I’m saying is you probably shouldn’t get that kind of plaster, it hurts to touch and algae sticks to it like superglue.
We used to HATE these scratchy pools 😂
I worked at flower mound pool plastering in flower mound texas. This work ain't no joke, it is a skill that I haven't seen too many people have
Do the pebbles give hiding places for algea?
Yes I’m a pool guy in ny and they are a pain I love vinyl liners or fiberglass pools
@@thatindianguy3009sounds like your chems are ofd pebbletek supremacy😂
@@linkd9553 My thoughts exactly, as pebbletek and salt cells paired means you almost have to try to ruin shit for it to grow algae lol
@@thatindianguy3009your smoking dope lmao
@@linkd9553 ok but in certain cases when I go to open a pool and is wasn’t closed properly or homeowners who don’t take care of there shit
Once painted a house red just to tell the customer look at that beautiful sunset.
Hey man, I got it laughing my ass off
That’s random but lmao 😂
bro you're a menace but i like it XD
what..?
Thanks for the laugh man! 🤣
Went into a pool once with this bottom and scratched the hell out my knees and got scars lol smooth bottoms all the way!
This was the kinda pool that would get me bloody after. Childhood memories at its finest
This will be an amazing pond when the housing market crashes.

Right ?!?!
@@CadaverCoI'm sure a 5% decrease in pricing will be the difference between you buying or not, especially when the rest of the economy is tanked as a result
@bearcat8759 think Detroit outskirts 2008 then apply that to every major city that has dying industry, rampant homelessness, and uncontrolled crime.
It's all being propped up right now, but if people can't afford houses/don't want houses in the area, then the prices will fall drastically.
People will sell their houses for iPhones again.
@@theinfuma2471 there isn't enough supply to meet the demand, it's that simple, if house prices fall that much then you'll have bigger things to worry about than housing because it will mean that the entire economy is destroyed
Jesus those poor men. That’s real back breaking work. Being bent over like that all day must absolutely destroy your spine. The things we sacrifice for our families and loved ones is crazy. Respect to these hardworking humans I know I couldn’t do something like that all day in my current state.
i have a lot of family whod be "poor men" for doing this work and they make a ton of money, its a good line of work
@@ak9vibez149still backbreaking duh
@@ak9vibez149 not sure you understood what I meant by poor men as that really suck for them. Not they are “poor”. I don’t care what anyone’s financials are if they’re working and trying to make a living what’s there to knock on? These people are working for their money that’s all that really matters.
You haven’t seen the mine workers yet
This is literally just work. Wake up
My grandparent’s pool is like this and its one of the best pools ive ever been in 😌
I can't wait to see the final result❤❤
Customer thinks mini pebble plaster is the guys “plastering the pool” by hand gluing little pebbles one at a time 😂😂😂
“Son, why are you covered in scratches?”
The pool beat me up, dad :(
I used to work for a pool company a friend owned every summer. Trawling in pool bottoms is not easy. Believe it or not some people just get it right off and some people never learn to do it right.
So many places for nice dirty black to collect!! Nice!!!
Man I worked on the other side of this doing the demo/renovation, these guys work hard as hell. I mean my job was hard too, probably even harder at times, but I did not envy these guys. We subcontracted out for the plaster work and occasionally the tile work as well.
I do this for a living. it can get up to 135 degrees or slightly more in the bowl of the pool with no wind and white plaster so bright it burns your skin. and we still have to push as hard as we can on our trowels and move as fast as we can to keep up with the rapidly drying plaster. I love it XD.
We sub’d out the plaster work, too. It was fun to watch the plaster guys work - they work so efficiently here. Demo/reno isn’t easy, either, especially if it’s this stuff they’re putting on.
Here’s to 5 gallon buckets and bondkote!
@@JosephQPublic haha nice. I do demo and reno too! Yes not easy either, I get hurt More doing that stuff like lifting coping stones etc. Cheers brother and be careful out there.
@@joeydigrado382 I feel you. I used to do hot tar roofing. Worst job was the top of an ER with the mirror glass windows in an august desert heat. Bright days without cold cover, boiling hot tar, no wind.
“Good times” 😂
@@IAmTheRealBill yup, that is definitely what I experience if not worse! It's so brutal. The worst one was: all of them lol. No but seriously the worst was when we were doing a pool in Brooklyn. It was during the worst heat wave in decades, the worst air quality in decades, it was a white pool, I drank a 20oz Red Bull before hand and the homeowner brought us out Hot dominoes pizza 😭 and all the water built up in the bowl so I STill had to use the propane torch to torch the bowl. Talk about heat!!! It was nuts!! I'm freaking out just thinking about it lol. Very good times indeed.
That’s why yo I always warn clients so they don’t have a heart attack lol. “Hey it’s going to look like solid concrete but after it dries and is rinsed the pebbles will show” then you never have to have that conversation again :)
My back hurts watching these guys hunched over working like this. Reminds me of university summer gigs
I honestly preferred this pool ground vs the soft slick ground. Always felt slimy. But I still remember the mini cuts on my feet and toes lol
Guess if you paint your house that color you won’t have to worry about “laser fires”
Huh
@@LegendaryCollektor… blue deflects the heat waves of an ultraviolet light wave [i.e space-laser] like “they” recently on the islands of Hawaii.
@@Donald_Ray ...there arent any space lasers?
@@LegendaryCollektor They're referring to all the conspiracy theories about the Maui fires being started by a space laser that didnt burn the blue houses.
Wish I didn't understand the reference
I painted my pool liner purple. it's so beautiful 😊
Ahhhh yes, the sandpaper finish. Great for shaving down wood or steel, and feet too.
We visited some extended family one time and it had this sort of plaster job to it. After playing in the pool for like an hour, my feet were shredded to hell and it hurt to walk on them for a couple days. Absolutely never do anything just because it looks good. Functionality is so much more important
“We plaster the pool with… mini pebble blue water color… it will give your pool that beautiful blue color”
I honestly hate the person for watching the video and not showing the end result
“Follow for end result” 🤦🏼♀️
Pissed me tf off
I gave a dislike, for whatever good that will go.
I hate that shit too!
Agreed. Sometimes I'll give them a pass if they have the pinned comment as the next video but no chance in hell am I going through their channel to find their shitty final result
Omg I love scraping all my skin off my knees when trying to get out of the pool 😍
Man. Pool customers can be a handful. 😂they seen pics. And had it on my last pool. 😂.
This voice belongs at the drive through order sign at Juice Hut.
Wtf is juice hut? That sounds like a Pizza Hut and Jamba Juice collab
If any contractor tells you “just wait and trust the process” when you ask about something, run.
One. I want my pool smooth. I'm not trying to shred my toes. Two. I'm using red plaster to finish my pool. Blue can go away.
ah, the good old days when your toes would be shredded like cheese while walking on the bottom of the pool ☺️
Casually using reactive PVC plastor without masks in a sunken pool.
These dudes were all trippin balls bro 😂
They’re wearing masks while spreading it but not while spraying it. Still funny af
According to the EPA, it's perfectly safe.
No they weren’t
This is a cementitious product it’s literally cement dye and rock there’s no fumes there’s no nothing and when they use the sprayers it’s just water Washing the cement off the surface of the rocks That night or The next day they’ll go back they’ll do the acid wash That’s when you want the mask
This isn't pvc plaster...
I can’t wait to have our pool resurfaced and made over - happening next month! Let’s goooooo!
Skip the pebble finish. It scrapes off the bottoms of your toes.
Use black for the bottom of your pool if its mostly in the sun and the water will naturally be warm. Blue is more expensive aswell unless theyre using synthetic pigments
Just looking at it made my skin peel off a layer
I love pool videos can't wait to see part two I hope it looks good
Explain:
Amazingly hard workers doing all of that!
My brother Juan doing an amazing work!!! Good job Juan, 3 months till the green card
My feet still have callouses from these frickin pools
You know what I'd like in terms of coloring on my pool (if i ever get one)? Sunset or Sunrise i think itd be really pretty and also probably more expensive than the blue. But like blended pinks, blues, yellows, purples, reds, maybe clouds (not sure about the clouds).
Regular plaster is bad on your feet, the pebble finish is awesome!
Lololol how often are you just walking in the pool floor. Don’t be weird
@@anthony5227??? Quite often. Some people stand in pools my man
@@benjordan1971why would you stand in a pool?
@@milkbottle1274 to chill, talk to people, play with my child or wife or watch the outdoor tv. im surprised you never stand in a pool my man. sounds to me like you may never have been in one
@@benjordan1971 are we talking about a empty pool?
Happy I'll never waste my money on this kind of stuff. But would gladly put the same amount of money into building a diverse native ecosystem on my property.
Best material is the little tiles that are smooth and comfortable to walk on
Great job! That finish looks fantastic!
100%wrong. Blue plaster does not make water "blue". White plaster and correct alkalinity makes the water blue. As someone with a professional pool background, i have never painted a pool blue and had the customer go " wow just like i was hoping for" . They usually say " why is my water not blue?"
Bro what
My relatives had a gunnite pool. Every spring we'd paint it with white thoroseal. When filled it was the most beautiful blue water you've ever seen.
Blue plaster will make the water appear whatever shade of blue they choose. But water is naturally a blue hue so that's why it looks blue also in white plaster.
@@joeydigrado382 absolutely true. I have first hand witnessed that.
It was so funny, because as a little kid I didn't even believe the pool was white! Then as a teenager, I was painting it.
@@savage22bolt32 yeah I always thought pool water was blue because of the reflection of the sky... until I saw the blue water in an indoor pool and questioned it lol.
Gosh I used to have a pool and it had tiles in it but since it was installed so long ago they would literally fall off. Me and my sister would make it a challenge to see how much fallen tiles we could get from the bottom of the pool
The scrapes from that will be absolutely unreal
that looks beautiful!
i have that, and trust me. my feet are all busted up because of that. scratches all over my feet, knees, elbows, etc. it looks nice, but it still hurts. although i’ve gotten used to it faster a while. and still enjoy swimming everyday.
No joke we are building a pool and got the plaster yesterday and it is the same as yours!
Algae loves that scratchy, pebbly texture. My dad spends WAY too much time and money trying to combat it.
The amount of times if scraped my knees on this type of texture is out of this world 😂😂😂
I swam in one of these once, public pool, too. The entire top two or three layers of skin was gone from the top of my right food some how, like 8 years later and the scar is still there. It got infected but I doused that shit in rubbing alcohol and disinfectant until it scabbed cleanly- not the worst injury I’ve ever had, but definitely up there
This the type of pool you wear water shoes in 😂
Yeah i remember diving into a pool like this once and I'm not proud to say i couldn't walk without wincing from the pain on my knee.
Hot take: this actually feels better in a pool than the smooth stuff
If I got a pool I would go with black. That would look so cool
I remember going to birthday parties with pools like these as a little kid and needing to swim with socks on or else you would get cuts
my knees are destroyed just looking at this
i remember when i went swimming in a pool with one of those bottoms. i was so active, staying under water on the deep end attempting to run under water, playing by the shallow side with kids who couldn't swim and the very next morning my feet were KILLING me.
As someone who can’t swim without flippers, I see this as a win
As someone who had a pool with that flooring it absolutely gave me blisters and scraped my feet up as a kid so bad. Had to use pool shoes
the skin on my toes were shredded off because of this texture
literally shredded, gone, bloody
