Thank you. I'll circle back if I take on the risk and do it. I definitely don't want to make it worse looking!

Yeah, I was simply planning to brush/chip out a little and just fill the gap (not spread a coat over top). Other than that, leaving it alone or a full replaster, what other options are there?

No, I was stating they refunded me the difference between plain plaster and pebble finish.

The water level is lowered below the first step and above the bench. The pool is also level and doesn't appear to be sinking on any given side. So it seems maintenance isn't the issue and if the crack has stopped expanding after 3 years, can I patch as suggested?

@Bperry @ajw22 attached are some more pictures showing a broader view from today (sorry it's overcast), the rebar during build, and the crack on top from 2021 (so you can see progress, which again I believe has paused?). When the pool was built, I had paid for thicker rebar over their standard...

Hi, I've been monitoring cracks developing on my deep end bench that seem to get worse from one season to the next. I just opened again and have yet to inspect under water. It seems to not have progressed. I don't lose water so I assume this was a result of settlement or plaster issues...

Well it's been 10 days since my last post and almost two weeks since the SLAM. All is good and we are back to enjoying the pool! Thank you all so much. If I can say a few things about this experience: If your cya is high, drain your pool a bit to lower it. Keeping FC above 20 is hard and...

CYA is 70. Sometimes I doubt my eye and might go with 80.

Got in the pool today at FC 14 and CC of 0. It was extremely clear, but I noticed some yellow below my floor returns. I opened them up painfully and brushed out a layer of algae hiding in there. Do I need to re-shock or assume the high FC can manage this small amount of buggers?

Yes! No cc today either though my FC is dropping as I haven't added Cl in two days. I'll keep monitoring and after all is normal, I'll report back to close this thread out 🤞

Perfect, thank you. Hopefully as FC returns to normal I don't see the mustard algae come back. That was some nasty stuff! Thanks all for the help.

So I have passed the OCLT test and am currently letting FC drift down. I soak all pool toys in the super-shock water. So I have read that running bathings suits through the wash with no detergent and some bleach is necessary. How much bleach do I put into the wash? I cannot seem to find...

Thanks, I decided to kick on my SWG today (boost setting) to combat the sun during the day since my FC was quite stable overnight (pool no longer eating chlorine by the gallon). I will then turn it off at nightfall, wait an hour, test, and then do an OCLT tomorrow morning. The pump is running...

Is OCLT reliable at high FC levels (35) or is Cl too volatile at that level? I did a partial drain last week, but my CYA is still 70-80 (aka it barely dropped). So rather than another redrain, I went with it. The past two nights I attempted the OCLT and failed with 1.5ppm loss. Otoh, my...

Thanks, I assumed that would be the answer. I drained the pool about 25%. FC has been stable around 30ppm for 12+ hrs. CC is 0.5 and water is very clear. The draining of water will unsettle things a bit. Once filled back up though I should need less Chlorine and can hopefully finish this...

Ok, so last night I measured 30 FC at 10:16pm. So after measuring FC I added 7L of 12.5% Cl. I went to bed with no additional testing. I measured this morning at 8:15am and got 30 FC again. So it seems the algae ate those 7L over night. My issue here is that I'm not sure what to think of the...
