Ouch? How did it get resolved? Re-plastering?

Thanks, I already have the PB looking at it as we speak. I'm just looking to arm myself. I haven't been completely satisfied with their quality of work and communication.

Unfortunately, I didn't think to take thorough pics before the plaster was poured. I watered it daily, but only took this pic that probably isn't very helpful.

Our new gunite pool just finished late last week with it being filled with water on Fri. We have a pool leak (have lost over 3 inches in less than 24 hours). I took photos of the plaster before it was filled with water. I was assuming the discoloration would blend in over time with daily...

The Fenwal flashed 3 times, which means ignition lockout. That's when I replaced the igniter and the Fenwal. Like I said, I thought that would have fixed it, but it was the regulator that did the trick. I am curious if you have any theory as to what was the actual cause.

I ended up replacing the igniter with no improvement. I then replaced the Fenwal with no improvement. I finally replaced the thermal regulator, which did the trick. I'm happy I bought a used $30 Fenwal on eBay instead of paying ~$170 for a new one. Thanks to all who weighed in on suggestions...

No water came out. They do look rusted, but no water.

Is there a walkthrough you can refer me to on how to check the ignitor?

So, my Mastertemp 400 NG heater (built in 2010), which we rarely use here in FL, ignites, but then 3-4 seconds later shuts off and triggers a "Service Heater" light. I flipped the board over and did not observe any additional error lights. FWIW, the thermal regulator has a lot of corrosion...
