I have a Dolphin Triton PS robot that started exhibiting the same symptoms. Turned out to be the impeller motor bearing had began to seize. There's a youtube video that shows you how to replace them...but. That fix only lasted about a month and it was necessary to replace the motor entirely...

Update: Keith with www.aestheticpools.com came by and laid my biggest fears to rest. He doesnt believe its a structural issue, but only a first indication of a poor plaster job. (Thanks Keith!) The plaster wasnt applied thick enough, and without proper backing/bonding material. It will likely...

Thank you for the suggestion! Yes, I have been researching builders and remodeling companies today. Seems that is going to be the sane way forward.

The pool was completed in 1995 by the original owner of the house. He sold it 2 years later, and I am the third owner, having purchased it 2 years ago. I dont think the warranty was transferred back then either.

Next step is whether I can prove the ground shifting was due to a school built behind my property. Which almost certainly will be an expensive uphill battle. Am I even interested in that kind of headache? Someone just tell me how much it will cost to fix the darn thing.

Hi Tstex. Everic pool plastering did the plaster redo January 2020. They claim a 1 year warranty, which is now expired. I did contact the pool builder, Sylvan Pools to inquire about a possible structural warranty--that was very much a joke. Their 'Lifetime Warranty**'? I quote: "The...

Thank you gentlemen. That is not what I wanted to hear the day after christmas! But I would rather know than not. Guess I'll need to figure out how to get it fixed.

HI Bperry. No, I don't see an unusual water loss occurring.

A fleck of the plaster, and the smaller crack 3 feet away.

Happy Holidays! Cleaning the pool today and noticed a large crack and peeling plaster about a foot below the waterline under the skimmer intake. Pics attached. It appears to be a little bubble that isnt finished flaking off...its hard to see in the pic, but definitely a raised area extending...

Maybe this will help someone... Sticking my arm elbow deep into 50 degree water every week was getting Really Old. Was beginning to dread testing the water weekly...or at all for that matter. Introducing T-Man's life hack # 42.5! Lowes (or Home Depot) light bulb changer kit...

@sacredcow This entire makeover came in at a hair over $400. -- $240 paint, $120 grout, concrete sealer, and backing. $30 sprayer. $20 tape and painters plastic. $10 grey sand. Pretty good results for not a lot of coin. Im betting it will hold up for 2 - 3 years before we do a real revamp...

Hey There fellow Houstonian! Looks like your pool and mine could be sisters. lol That Encore cool looks great! Considered covering the deck, but decided to keep and refresh the pebble look. I didnt know squat about pools prior to purchasing this place, so my original thought was to knock...

Clean up, and fill up. :) The pool looks almost new. smells fresh and inviting. I'll be happy with this for a few years. Time for a swim and a glass of wine!

The Granite Grip product sheet says to apply with a texture roller or sprayer. I opted for the texture sprayer and found one at Harbor Freight on sale for <$30. You'll need an air compressor if you dont already have one. Tip #4 practice on an inconspicuous area or cinder block to get a nice...

Thorough;y Power washed again with bleach and let it dry for a couple days. Then started taping. Tip #2: Use the weather proof tape everywhere. (yellow in the picture) Also, double layer it and make sure it is secured. Tip #3 We severely underestimated the amount of overspray there...

...from that old grout. That's where..... It was years of gunk in, and under, the grout and old backing foam. Tip #1. Removing the old grout was a cinch with the scraper attachment on the oscillating tool. $40 at Harbor Freight. (knee pads for old men knees are optional)
