    How to Fix Cracks Between Grout & Concrete

    We inherited the pool. We’ve only been here about 9 months. Pool is 40 years old but decking is only a few years old. We get a lot of foundation movement here so I’m sure it’s trying to move around. Thanks for your help.

    How to Fix Cracks Between Grout & Concrete

    Here is a pic of a piece of the concrete that has chipped off above the water line. Does it look like it has the concrete collar? Figured this picture might help you see what’s behind it. I do see some green/fiberglass color in there. @ajw22

    How to Fix Cracks Between Grout & Concrete

    Can you give me an example of what you mean by “plastic strip?” Also, won’t leaving it open result in water getting behind the fiberglass? And if so, is that something I need to prevent? Thank you so much!

    How to Fix Cracks Between Grout & Concrete

    I’ve attached pictures of some significant cracks that have formed between the grout line and the concrete above it. How should we fix this? Should we use clear caulking so it can move more freely? Or do we need to add more grout, even though it could crack again? Our foundation does have...

    Discoloration of Grout Below Water Line

    The grout is brown. That’s what alerted me. Yes, I brush once a week including tile.

    Discoloration of Grout Below Water Line

    I’ve been noticing a discoloration of the grout around my pool just below the water line between tiles. I’m pretty consistent at keeping the chemicals at the right level and so I wasn’t sure what it might be. The tile was redone only about a year ago, so I’ve been a little disappointing it’s...

    Preparing for Winter - Any Extra Equipment?

    Thank you so much! I do plan to leave it open but wanted to make sure I needed the anti-freeze device the pool guy was talking about or if I needed to do anything else to treat the pool for winter. What do you think about the anti-freeze device? Thanks so much!!
