Discovered a 2-3 foot long hairline crack in the pool plaster? Any suggestions on repairing? I'm not losing water from what i can tell.
Hairline crack in plaster

We've had a few cracks in our plaster over the years. One in 2013 leaked water. Our PB fixed all of them with 2 part putty. He mixed white and black together to sorta match the plaster color and stuffed it into the crack with his fingers. He cleaned out the cracks a bit with a flathead screwdriver first. All of the repairs have held up fine. No leaks since 2013.
No, that work was done with the pool full. The putty cures underwater. Actually, thanks to TFPC my pool has never been drained since day one in 2012.
Lol . Thanks I'm new here. Wonder what putty he usedPB is pool builder and TFPC is TroubleFree Pool Care.
No worries, lol. It's a 2 part epoxy that I think is just called pool putty, it comes in black and white. I think that Inyo Pools sells it.
Oh yeah. Definite candidate for a structural crack repair. We would use a torque lock staple kit to fix the issue then try to color match the plaster as best as possible.
Expensive, but easy.

No, the AB epoxy is a commonly used to fix leaks in skimmers and what not though.
