    Inground Gunite Repair Types (which is best)?

    We have silty clay, so yes movement is a constant thing. Obviously the pool has leaked from time to time in certain areas, so I am sure this has cause additional movement in isolated areas. It has been 3 months since Dallas has seen any rainfall but this spring was fairly wet, so you can...

    Inground Gunite Repair Types (which is best)?

    Thanks for your responses. I apologize for not replying quickly (i didnt see the notifications). I have reached out to 3rd party "structural engineers" in my area to see if they specialize in swimming pools (their websites did not specify). I have learned long ago that when you call someone...

    Bad Plaster?

    Thanks for the welcome, I forgot to mention that the pucks are gone and the pool is on a liquid chlorine and stabilizer free shock diet ever since the CYA reading was discovered. No more stabilized products for this pool!

    Bad Plaster?
