    Plaster Issue

    I recently opened my pool and noticed that that plaster at the bottom of my big tub is discolored. It was not like this when the pool was closed in the fall. Any ideas what could have caused this and if it can be fixed? This is Wet Edge signature matrix.

    New pool, what is this? And another question.

    Just had a new pool completed and I’d like to know what this is. It’s an eye sore and I’m hoping it can be moved or at least lowered. Also are there any other options for skimmer covers? These are a tripping hazard and I’d like something flush.
