Simple question guys - I had my gunite pool marble dusted last year in a deep blue. We had just bought a new house. There are cracks all over the place. Not leaking water, just highly visible cracking.
My installer "I have never had cracks before in 20+ years of doing this, will have to empty the pool and patch it up."
Questions :

1. Dumping salt water not good. We live on the top of a hill and my neighbor will have a salt refuge in his basement. Truck best way to do it? His house is 50 yards down a mild slope.

2. "Patching" I have read that when fixing a bad marble dust job it is a COMPLETE redo - no patching as colors will never match and it will look awkward. Do we agree?

Many thanks, I just want to approach this correctly with my installer - the dime is on him.

Thank you.

A little bit of a hi-jack but I do not know what "marble dusting" is. Could you explain the process just briefly and the purpose?

Again, not a hijack at all. Not in my view anyway.

This is what a plaster job is called in some parts of the country. Recently learned this myself, and now someone else will learn from your question. I bet more than one.

I doubt it is a problem since the distance is far and you won't be dumping it instantly. How big of a pool?
