Rough Plaster, Stubborn Algae, Staining That Won't Quit — Sound Familiar?
If you've been dealing with the same pool problems season after season — rough texture, staining that comes back weeks after treatment, algae that won't stay gone — you're managing symptoms of a surface problem, not a chemistry problem.
Live Oak is an established northeast San Antonio suburb with a large stock of 1980s and 1990s-era homes whose pools are now 20–35 years old. Many of these pools have been resurfaced once or are due for their first resurfacing. San Antonio's hard, alkaline Edwards Aquifer water accelerates plaster degradation through constant calcium deposition and etching — a porous plaster surface traps algae in the substrate, absorbs sanitizer, and eventually starts shedding chips into the pump and filter.
By the time most homeowners call, they've been managing symptoms for 2–3 seasons and spent more on extra chemicals than the resurface itself would have cost.
What a Failing Pool Surface Is Costing You Right Now
- Monthly chemical costs climb as degraded plaster absorbs sanitizer rather than maintaining water balance
- Plaster chips add wear to pump and filter, shortening equipment life
- A rough, stained pool takes more time and money to maintain and less enjoyment for the family
- San Antonio's 9-month swim season means delay extends the problem and the cost for months

Live Oak Water Quality Note
Live Oak uses SAWS Edwards Aquifer water — 250–350 ppm calcium hardness. Pool surfaces here face the same accelerated scaling and etching that shortens standard plaster life to 6–9 years across the SA area.
