We have a new-to-us IG plaster pool. It's at least 32 years old. I have no idea if it's ever been resurfaced, and I'm pretty sure it's never been painted.
We opened it in June, started TFP in July, and have been swimming daily ever since. The pump is old but chugging along, the filter was replaced this year (used, but it looks new). Some tiles are missing, but the previous owner patched over where they are missing and things seem to be holding tight. The coping is intact, but I've had one PB tell me that some are loose (he walked around banging a pole on each one).
Aside from the plaster discoloration, everything seems to be ok. We want to resurface next spring, but financially wondering if we can delay another year.
What do I need to worry about/look for? Are we playing with fire? Is this thing going to fall apart if we don't replaster?
Thanks for all insights!
