One more thought from someone that had a large one of these pool in Texas. The plaster they put on the pool can take a couple of years to cure and during that time they will continually make the pool alkaline and you will need to keep jugs of acid handy to keep the pH in balance so it doesn't scale. I had to add about 1 gallon of acid each week year around to maintain the pH! Once the plaster gets scaling, brushing the scaling off is a major/impossible task, so don't let it go without monitoring and care.
