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 brushing. That hasn't happened so far. It's only been 2 days of brushing, so I don't know if I just need to be more patient? I'm contacting the pool builder today as they were closed over the weekend.

Are the darker lines from "weeping"? Will the discoloration eventually go away? Could the leak be related to anything I'm seeing?

Those look like cracks in the shell. There should be zero “weeping”.

Can you provide any pictures of the shell prior to plaster application, they may hold the answers to this situation.
The visible weeping marks are not common for a finished plaster application.

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.

Brushing will make no difference in what you are seeing.

Discuss it with your PB.
