I'm not sure if the the failures were ever identified. The bubble on the wall are called osmotic blisters. Water penetrates to between the outer gel coat and inner fiber-reinforce structural parts of the panel. If any of these were missed during the repair process, they'll reform in short order...

I think I'm just going to strip, prime, and paint it at $3500. National Pools will strip and plaster it for ~$10K. The AquaBrite finish look s great but I'm out side of any installer's service area and the regardless, it'd be close to $17,500. The more I think about vinyl, the more I dislike it...

The Aquabrite looks interesting. With the size of our pool, I'm typically priced out pretty quickly for these solutions. Regardless, I submitted a request for info. Thanks for the suggestion. I did measure the pool as accurately as possible, there's just a lot of variation in the geometry. The...

Thank you for taking the time to respond. Talking to Kelley Technical coatings (Olympic), they suggested to scrape any lose/chipping areas, activate/etch with their phosphoric acid-based cleaner, prime with Gunzite, then finish with Zeron top coat. The primer/paint alone about $2750 if I paint...

I have almost the same situation, a hand-laid concrete basin with fiberglass side walls. Ours is 16' x 60' though with the corners having a 2 inch radius to them. I'm curious as to how your liner conversion turned out. I'm considering the same vs. painting but without replacing the deck/coping...

I have a pool built like this and from the same decade. The panels on our pool are faded but I can live with that. What is of concern is that the concrete basin started sloughing chips of pain about two years ago and that the failure rate is accelerating. It appears the concrete has been painted...
