Looking for input here before I push further with the contractor. Just had our pool replastered and my recollection was the old plaster was flush even with the plugs (I presume these are hyrdostatic valves/plugs or some sort). The new plaster appears to come above and there are "divots" around...

Pretty certain I have a bad capacitor on my pump based on everything I read here. Had been contemplating a switch to a dual speed pump next year, but this is accelerating my decision-making process. Pool guy came out, recommended not going with dual speed as I have 1.5 inch piping and quite...
