What should you do if you have crystals on the surface of your plaster pool and it's like 80 grit sandpaper and the plaster company says they're salt crystals and need to be sanded off?

Get your water tested and in check. You have too many solids in the water. Start brushing your pool daily as you correct the chemical imbalance. This will help loosen and remove the crystals from your pool.
NEW ANSWER::
Brushing will do little for removing those crystals. The cause of the crystals was from water that has been neglected chemically. Improper levels or lack of chemicals -- either way you've got a major problem. Draining, acid washing and sanding may correct. The chemical imbalance took some time to end up with these results. You will most likely not completely remove these salt crystals or stalagtights ( as in caves) as I call them. If you can have the problem corrected you will have to stay on top of the pH and alkalinity religiously -- weekly if not more often. Has the pool recently been replastered or newly plastered? Sorry for your plight. Maybe if you could talk the plaster company into a new replaster job offering to pay a good portion of the cost he will consent.

How do you raise and lower frictional forces?
A rough surface like sandpaper will have more friction than a smooth surface. smoothing out a surface will reduce friction
What makes glaciers act like giant sandpaper?
The rocks and pebbles embedded in the ice. When these rocks and pebbles are on the bottom surface of the glacier they are dragged over the surface of the ground, cutting into it (whether it is soil or hard bedrock) cutting grooves in and polishing that surface. Much like the grit glued to sandpaper does to a surface it is rubbed against.
Where are big crystals are made in volcano?
the magma chamber and then they erupted onto the surface, where the small crystals were formed.
When magma cools slowly below Earth's surface it forms rocks with what type of crystals?
Slow cooling magma below the Earth's surface forms large crystals.
What do you call a covering of tiny crystals on a cold surface?
Frost
A sentences for coarse?
That is A coarse sandpaper, It is generally used before A fine sandpaper.
Is it possible to have a new skim coat of plaster applied to a concrete in ground pool as the plaster surface has wear marks from vacuuming and age?
Yes you can (re-plaster) There should be a company in your area that does the plaster for pools when they are built and also re-plaster as they get older. Your Pool supplier should be able to suggest who may be the most reliable. yes,

How does sandpaper have so much friction?
The irregular sharp surface of Sandpaper will DEFORM the surface it moves over. The Deformation increases the Coefficient of Friction between the two surfaces.
How are crystals formed and how does the rate effect the crystal?
Crystals that are formed below the surface are formed by the cooling of magma. Crystals above the surface are formed when a volcano erupts, and cools, again, above the surface. Crystals that are below the surface usually have a slower rate of cooling than those above the surface, causing bigger crystals because of the slower cooling:)
Why do you use sandpaper on substances to make them shiny?
To make a surface shiny, the surface irregularities must be minimized. Sandpaper helps in leveling surface irregularities. Polishing any material that can be polished is one way of making it more attractive.
What can smooth out a rough surface?
Depends on the surface, sandpaper usually.
What is different from crystals underground than above?
Underground crystals are bigger where as crystals formed on the surface are smaller.
What effect does surface texture have on growing crystals?
well if ur growing it on a rock or anything outside and natural tht surface will grow the crystals. n the crystals cud mold into the shape of the surface. other than tht, no effect

Is sharks skin soft like humans skin?
No. A shark's skin is tough, and has a surface rather like sandpaper. In fact, the Native Americans used to use it for sandpaper.
