My son spotted these cracks in the pool yesterday. I don't believe they are leaking, strictly based on a recent leak detection service not identifying any issues in the area. All are on the vertical faces of the sun shelf. How concerned do I need to be? My next stop is reaching out to the PB to see what they have to say (I'm not expecting much). Pool was finished January 2022.
Cracks in pebble interior - How much to worry?

These cracks are allowing water to come in contact with the Shotcrete shell of the pool that is not water proof.
The last two pictures show calcium buildup from the water most likely contacting the shell.
This plaster may be cracking from the Shotcrete that it’s been applied to if rebound was used in this area.
Either way, cracks in plaster of this size are not to industry standards.

Do you have a picture of that area after excavation?
Curious of how much Shotcrete was built out to make the shelf square.

That’s a lot of Shotcrete (thickness) giving off heat during curing.
Only way to exactly know the extent of the crack and if their is a underlying cause will require exposing the area and finding the depth.
