Good evening all,
We are in the process of having a pool built in the backyard. This past Thursday we had gunite poured. We've been watering it as advised by the builder. On Friday (1 day after pour) I noticed a long thin crack in the deep end where the bottom begins to curve up the wall.
I brought it to my builders attention and he stated it was a shrinkage crack that they would continue to monitor. Is this a serious concern?
I admittedly have no idea how significant something like this is or isn't, I've never had a pool built before or any prior experience with pool building. I was hoping for some guidance on whether this is acceptable, an issue, or what avenues I have to get this corrected if necessary.
Thank you for your assistance!

Hi and welcome to TFP! It IS very normal for some small cracks to form. So long as they are not thicker than a dime it is all good. I would also love to see a pic of the steel before the shell what shot.
