Concrete crazing

[mzuniga]

Hi everybody. My pool is near completion and the PB is about to start applying the quarzt finish (KristalKrete). Today I found out the pool concrete walls are showing craze cracks everywhere. They are only visible while the walls are damp (see picture). Clearly those are not structural and they are extremely small. So, my question is if this type of cracks might transfer to the KrystalKrete once the pool is finished. Do I need to be concerned about durability issues as well? I'll appreciate any help. Thanks!

Was your pool watered several times a day during the cure process?

This is normal concrete curing. The plaster will fill in the crazing.

Yes, and since the KK was not immediatly available the pool was full with water for about two weeks in the meantime

The pool was filled intentionally? Is that normal?
Mine has been gunited for 1 week and I don't see it getting Pebblesheen applied for another week or two.

In our case we didnt know when the KK was going to be delivered so my PB decided to fill the pool in the meantime.

Given this was in Costa Rica the PB may have filled the shell with water to prevent it from popping out of the ground .
