I live in Phoenix, AZ and my shotcrete guy recommended watering every hour since it is above 100 degrees. I went to home depot and bought an orbit dual hose water timer. I have two separate sprinklers that turn on every hour and fully saturate the concrete. So 15 minutes of water, and 45 minutes off. I shut the water off at night once the sun is gone and it cools down.

Made the watering process very easy!

Which layer of the shell is the impermeable layer?

I'm in the pre-plaster gunite curing stage. Ground water is coming through the gunite wall where the jet pipe juts out of the gunite. This is not a pipe leak; it's ground water leaking from the outside of the gunite to the inside of the pre-plastered pool.

The contractor is saying this is normal. If it is, why is it in only 1 spot and what makes the pool shell waterproof? The plaster?

Hi. Does the back side of the pool need to be watered-down?

I just poured concrete on a pool but the contractor never told me to water it. We are in Miami so maybe there is no need?

What about the outside of the pool if it rains should I pump the water out
