Agreed, thank you very much for all your advice.

Thanks, I think this is the method I will use with Sikaflex.

Bond beam looks fine and all tiles are still adhered very well. Just worried if I leave the area underneath hollow there is risk of them breaking when walked on.

I understand what your saying. Unfortunately I cannot rectify the expansion gap. All I can do is bed in new tiles as before but they are going to sit over the coping slightly by about an inch. Should I use some Sikaflex under this area to fill the void whilst retaining some flexibility for movement?

The pool is concrete if that makes a difference? The deck has sunk slightly in that area which is what has caused the tiles to crack as they sit over the coping slightly. The rest of the tiling is ok. I will need to build up the area where the tile sits over the coping so there is not a hollow...

Thanks, so this confirms I should only bed the tiles to the deck, not to the coping? There will be a gap beneath the tile where the coping is if I do this. Is there a suitable product I can use to fill this gap and allow movement?

I'm undertaking a task of replacing some cracked and loose terracotta tiles around our pool. The issue has been caused by the surrounding paving sinking over many years. The pool is around 30 years old so I am not overly concerned this is a serious issue, just age related, and I just want to...

Thanks, yes I do track water temp and do enter it in Celcius. But in the CSI tab it still defaults to Fahrenheit. I'm just wondering if this is affecting my CSI?

When I go into my CSI tab it is showing degrees in Fahrenheit. When I select Celcius it won't save this setting and always reverts back to Fahrenheit.

Day 7. I opened the filter and removed about an inch of crust from the surface and gave it a deep clean. I doubt it has ever been opened since last sand change which is unknown but I suspect many many years ago, if ever. Hopefully this will improve filtration and get the last bit of clarity...

Alright, day 5 and the pool has cleared up a lot. It is still no perfect but I can now see the main drain and also can see the brush head at the bottom when I am brushing. Considering doing an OCLT tonight and if it passes then I will work on balancing the rest of the levels and letting the...

It's definitely a milky looking cloudiness. Is it normal to take many days to filter it out running the filter constantly? I am not sure of the condition of the sand filter. I have backwashed it twice now, tempted to open it up and attempt a deep clean.
