Thanks so much!

Thanks so much for the quick reply!

Does anyone know what the circled pipe on the right side of the picture is? The pvc pipe has a slit cut in it, so we’re curious what that pipe’s function is. (The pool was built in the early 1990s. Thanks!

Thanks so much for the info. We had the pool replastered a few months ago and there was an area that was disintegrating and discolored from the moment the pool started being filled. (See attached pictures.) We finally convinced the plaster installer to replaster the pool since the area was...

Anyone know what this square shaped form is on the left of the picture? We’re assuming the circular part on the right is the main drain, but we don’t know what the thing on the left is. It’s in the deep area of the pool. We’ve had a lot of issues with this area since the replastering was done a...

Thanks for the info! The installer is telling us that doing another full chip out only about a month after the initial one is likey to weaken the gunite pool shell and potentially cause more problems. Is that true? They seemed to be using jackhammers to chip out our old plaster. I’ve read that...

What are some tips for getting a good pool surface finish? Anything we should watch for or request as our pool is being replastered? Our pool was refinished with PebbleFina less than a month ago and the installer has just agreed to replaster / re-Pebblefina the pool (there is significant...

Yesterday we put together a document with all our concerns, questions, pictures, etc, and sent it to the installation company and met with them again today. Today the installer eventually became agreeable to refinishing the pool, so we feel like we are making progress, but we need to find out...

They don’t seem to know why the area is having such an issue. We’ve been told by 2 of their employees that maybe a leaf fell into that area during plastering, but that seems like a strange explanation to us. We aren’t very pleased with the installer’s proposed remedy and are doubtful that it...
