We live in NJ and currently have a Blue Haven plaster pool. It needs to be redone, as the previous home owner didn't lower the water levels and the tile is in desperate need of a redo. We have met with at least a dozen pool companies and are very confused as to what kind of material to use....

We have a salt water cell. I hear that the salt will corrode the plaster quickly and that our life span will be 5-8 years max. We've researched Pebble Sheen/Tec and I've read that the staining is horrible and that the finish cracks above the water lines, however the surface should last 20+ years. We also have a company strongly promoting Fibre Tech, but no one seems to know anything about this surface and it costs 2.5x that of Pebble Sheen or Plaster. It supposedly has a 30 year guarantee.

I'm leary of every pool company that comes here. I've seen them go in and out of business quickly and we've had bad experiences with the pool companies that care for our pool each week.

Please help!! We need to make a decision in the next few days and are unsure which surface to move forward with!!

Thank you!!
