Hi all, after hours and hours of research, I finally found a replacement for my Hayward Colorlogic 12v AC pool lights. I thought I would post my solution here in case anyone is in a similar boat. There weren't many search results for my criteria, so hopefully this will help others find a...

This is fantastic information, thank you both. Fortunately no cracks on the interior of the pool, nothing that has gone completely through the gunnite and plaster in the interior. The only crack that I see is a straight line that wraps around the hot tub, which is still concerning to me, but I...

I was not the original homeowner who built the pool, so I am unsure about the presence of an engineer or if there are any stabilizing elements. I received the original building permit from the city but there are very few details other than the original company who built the pool. They are...

Great, thank you JamesW. I've definitely read through those threads. Without providing a diagnosis, and only in your opinion, do you think what I have resembles ASR? I saw that you had a great deal of skepticism for the number of cases we were seeing in Central Texas, and I still have my hopes...

The builder is appears MIA at this time. Is replacing the removed skim coat a job I can do myself, or will I need a pool builder to do it? I'll do my best to get better pictures once the sun is directly overhead, but here is what I have now of both the exterior, and interior side of where the...

Thank you both for your replies. Very interesting! It does not sound hollow - there is a single spot with a crack that does, but there’s no efflorescence in that area.

Hi all. New homeowner with a pool that was built in 2019. Could anyone provide some insight into what may be causing this calcium deposit? This can’t just be from overspill, right? I understand that ASR might be an issue (built in 2019, gunnite, Central Texas), but there is zero cracking...
