Does a plastered pool finish encourage the growth of algae, especially the dreaded black algae?
NO. As anyone knows who owns a fish aquarium, algae is a function of water, not a function of pool finish. Algae sticks to glass in an aquarium, so it will stick to ANY pool surface. If your pool is properly sanitized you won’t have algae. If you have algae, you haven’t sanitized your pool properly. It’s that simple.
