When I re-opened this thread tonight, I saw a “Part Two”, which DID help me understand more about the concrete situation. “Part One” was focused on cutting an expansion joint. I do have a question about what I read about cutting a “V” into a crack: the first thread I read recently mentioned...

It was an interesting read, and it may have answered some of my questions, but since I’m not fluent in “pool speak”, I didn’t actually learn anything. Perhaps it’s time to contact a local pool service. Thank you

I’m going to try your “best method”. The inner spa wall crack obviously goes all the way through to the outer wall. I will remove that entire chunk of the wall. The newly-exposed wall will be sloped downward (towards the pool), so should I make an effort to make that new spa wall level...

I researched hydraulic cement today. Looks very doable; however, the crack on the inner spa wall is at most 1/4” wide. The Lowe’s hydraulic cement video recommends enlarging the crack to 3/4”, because the hydraulic cement expands. Any recommendations beyond the Lowe’s video? Also, after...

I was able to get home early. Previously I had removed only loose tiles on the “outside” walls, where I saw damage beneath the tiles. After realizing that the exterior wall damage may have been caused by a leak thru the inner wall, I removed another row of tiles on the inner wall. Now it’s clear...

FYI: I will post detailed pictures on Saturday, April 26th. Thank you!

This past winter’s storms and near-zero freezes damaged the “wall” around my outdoor pool’s spa. Initially I thought that I just needed to re-attach and re/grout the spa tiles using Leslie’s Patch-It, but as I removed tile after tile I noticed that a small amount of the “substrate” beneath some...

That recommended manual was not a match for my Blue Haven control panel. But I have good news! Since I knew I had successfully configured the spa side remote options in the past, I tried every combination possible after clicking “PROGRAM”. Turns out that the “REVIEW” button directly leads to...

My pool was installed in 1996 by Blue Haven Pools using Jandy Control Center. The interior control panel is labeled “BH2100”. Works great; never needed to replace or upgrade. Approximately 15 years ago a cable TV company accidentally cut the cable for my Jandy Spa Side Remote. I ordered a new...
