We have site specific seaming tools for liners in the USA. I do allot of consultation work in Mexico and Panama for pool solutions. I have seen allot of block construction pools here in FL and other countries.You would be amazed how well they hold water when plastered.I would membrane the block...

I have never heard of it. It must be a location specific product. We don't use it in Florida.

They could have laid the coping with a 1/4 in grout joint like its suppose to be.

The Wet Edge Primera Stone is a super hard durable smooth pool surface. It is polished like hydrazzo but is much stronger. It looks like a pebble pool surface because it is done with the large stones. I highly recommend it.

The CPSC Series by compupool are working great for me. I installed 53 this year so far and no call backs. I sell them for 600 dollars all day long retail. 3 year warranty. They made the first chlorine generators.

That job would be 3-5 k in South Florida. I do them all the time. The tile job is 13 a foot and the coping depending on what it is runs 18 - 25 per foot. I know other markets get more money. We are the cheapest pool market in the nation.

Did you look on the National Plaster Councils website? They list all the companies that are actual installers of plaster products. I found a local company that is an applicator right in your home town. I don't know what products they use. If they are council members they are more than likely...

I haven't seen that tile in a long time. Someone may have it sitting in their shop . You could get denim 3 x 3 tiles and band saw them if you had allot of free time on your hands.

Nice idea but they are a liability. I know they don't meet federal VGB entrapment laws with the two pipes.

Glue the tiles on with clear silicone as a temporary fix. It will flex with the crack. when you are ready to do a more permanent fix- You will need to remove all the coping stones and the tile.Then remove all the loose areas that have cracked. Drill and pin the areas you repaired. fair them...

What have you paid for on your contract? Bond beams pools are stronger than non bond beam pools. There are builders here in S FLorida that use both beams. Yours is fine for an overpour. Its all about what you paid for though.

Why was the pool empty? How do you know if there is no leak without filling it? The large pebble can be out of the water but the sheen and fina don't fair well out of the water.

Smoothness sometimes is a charicteristic of what they use. There are acceptable tolerances in the industry. Pool plaster is completely hand troweled and can't be screed like house stucco or concrete. I could find inperfections in every pool.The paying customer usually has the last word here. If...

Is this going to be glued on top of the beam of the pool prior to deck being poured or is it a material that you want to set on top of the already poured deck?

E-bay may help you?

Send them a letter giving them 30 days to resolve the problems or you will have it fixed and sue them for the costs. Your law suit will accompany a media blitz .Then have the thing pulled apart and bring in 20 yards of clean fill dirt and start over.If you don't do every thing you can to protect...

Let it cure one month before sanding then use a masonry disk for a 4 inch grinder. Just lay it on its side and sand it smooth.You could also get a rubbing brick(the one with red or blue handle) at Lowe's or Home Depot. The trade Pro's use diamond sand paper(old hydra-torque pads). Frank...

You will chip it back till you have a solid surface. It will be easy to tell when you hit stronger material. You will need to hit the hammer much harder. I am not trying to be funny either. You will be able to tell it is taking more effort. I have never see a leak in a pipe cause concrete...

Florida is a tough place to have any construction done let alone swimming pools. I want to give the perspective buyers out there a few tips.I have seen pool builders drop like flies over the years. If the deal is too good to be true it's not.If you have to ask yourself ,"If he don't finish the...

Wet-Edge and Beadcreate are in two different categories of pool plaster. I install both products. I think any one who is shopping for a pool plaster should buy what can afford. Both products come out great. I have pics on my web site of both being installed. PebbleConcepts.com

You have to chip out till you get to a solid surface. The patching technique will depend on how much material you took out.Stucco mixes cant bridge much more than whats there. Once you get all the loose stuff out post a pic and I can tell you how to patch it. Frank PebbleConcepts.com...

Ryho-Hyde or Aqua Bond urethane would be good for the cracks. If you follow directions the cracks will not show back up. The urethane is flexible. The repair could be sanded after its done to look flush.

Depends on site conditions. every job should be evaluated on a job by job basis and opinions differ around the country. I only feel the loose and dead areas need to be removed. I have been in markets that the local talent thought you were a hack unless you chipped out all of the old...

You don't install a liner on a surface like that. I would tell him to start over and expect to pay the water bill. My 1 cent. :)

I have installed almost every surface made over the years. Plain white plaster is the weakest of all pool finishes and will hold up for 5 to 7 years, The standard exposed aggregate pool surfaces (Marquis, Florida Stucco Gem cote, CLI, and Diamond Brite ) will last 10 years but will start to look...

Under Technical Information link on the left, you will find a link for pool inspection. They will schedule one for you. You will then have an evaluation from an expert in the industry. I hope this helps.

I am a Pool plaster applicator. I have plastered over a 100k pools. PebbleConcepts.com The theory behind silicone is to waterproof the plaster to keep the water from deterioration it. Its added right to the mix and silicone and portland cement don't mix well. It "in my opinion weakens the mix...

Marquis is a great product. Every product you listed is good. The applicator is more important. Look at the last three they have done . Don't let them show you random pools. Good luck.

Silicone shield is garbage. I would use the RPM. Its has "pozzalans" that essentially take the weakest element in plaster (calcium hydroxide) and "lock it up" so that it is less susceptible to chemical attacks. Pozzolans - based products have been proven to reduce etching, cracking, mottling...

You can buy gel coat uv stabilized and spray it on for half the price.
