    Doing some DIY pool renovation. The old waterline tile was beveled on the bottom edge - so - there was not a recessed bed that the tile was set into. New tile is just under 1/4" thick and is not finished/beveled on the bottom. Any suggestions as to a product to use to bevel from the front of...

    Need advice on what to build up and level surface behind waterline tiles.

    I have a gunite pool that I fiberglassed with fiberglass fabric sandwiched between two coatings of epoxy (Pilgrim Permacoat, Inc PLASTIC product). It has held up great, really, for 11 years. Now it's starting to peel away from the top where I had a stone mason level the surface where the...

    Pool repair advice needed - gunite pool resurfaced with glass.

    65 year old 45,000G gunite pool with 3 foot thick gunite walls, way over built and not losing a drop of water. The pool was resurfaced with fiberglass / resin 10 years ago and is holding up really well except for a few places that are delaminating at the top. The glass was run all the way up...

    Do I need to refill? Stupid Low pH and lots of copper in water test.

    Greetings. I'm supposedly in a world of hurt, according to the pool store and my water test. They gave me a $400 shopping list - or - said to drain and refill. Can I get some advice on here? The pool was completely neglected last year because of a death in the family - just chlorine went in...
