We used Kerapoxy grout from Floor and Decor. Expensive, but, easy to apply and hard as stone.

Thanks. We already tried hydraulic cement -- as stated in the original post. Perhaps someone else has some ideas. Thanks for your replies Toxophilite!

Correct. I'm just asking what type of product to use to do exactly what you are saying -- feather from below the tile to the bottom of the tile and to the face of the tile. Any product suggestions?

Yes - the bottom of the tile is completely exposed. I want to fill in from the front of the tile back to the pool wall surface - so that there isn't a 1/4" drop-off from the front of the tile to the pool surface. There have been three sets of waterline tile on this pool since it was built in...

Doing some DIY pool renovation. The old waterline tile was beveled on the bottom edge - so - there was not a recessed bed that the tile was set into. New tile is just under 1/4" thick and is not finished/beveled on the bottom. Any suggestions as to a product to use to bevel from the front of...

I have a gunite pool that I fiberglassed with fiberglass fabric sandwiched between two coatings of epoxy (Pilgrim Permacoat, Inc PLASTIC product). It has held up great, really, for 11 years. Now it's starting to peel away from the top where I had a stone mason level the surface where the...

I, actually, have had great success with an Epoxy product in my gunite pool. As they say, the devil is in the prep. You have to make sure you scratch up the surface enough for the epoxy to adhere. UltraGuard...no. I have heard horror stories; and, it's STUPID Expensive. I used Pilgrim...

Thinking of changing from sand to cartridge for two reasons: 1. Easy of use, less valves to deal with, longer filter cycles. 2. No backwashing - we are having some erosion issues on our property from backwashing over the years, and also discoloration of our asphalt driveway.

40,000G IG pool with 20 feet of head (1 skimmer close to pump). Rarely pull water from the drain - but, that would add 8 feet of head. Currently have a 1HP single speed Hayward Super II pump and an old sand filter. Want to save on electricity this summer so going to cut down on run-time on...

Thank you. So, no one uses any sort of 'at home' copper testing kit or strips? $45 seems like a lot to pay every month to have water tested.

I supposedly, as told my my local pool company, have 2PPM of Copper in my pool. I think they are drunk. But, it's the only pool company around that tests for copper. So, I want to know what test kit or strips others are using to determine Copper in pool water so I can test myself. I see the...
