So I can get a bag of this mortar like from home depot, not the pool patch brand I was gonna get from amazon? Thanks for the feedback!!

Hi pool nerds! This chunk (in my hand) came out of my grout, and that made me notice the larger chunk above it that is out. Without redoing our whole pool, what product(s) should I use to patch these spots? This is a fairly isolated issue, so I'm thinking patching would be fine? I am only a...

It was all within 5 minutes. I wasn't holding the bottle vertical. I will do another OCLT tonight. My morning readings were 7/8.5/7 so I either passed or failed last night! (At least I didn't REALLY OBVIOUSLY fail ha)
