I work with a lot of Gunite pools with tile borders, and I've started to notice that the pools built by a certain pool builder tend to have almost no issues with tiles popping off over the winter. There are other builders, where just about every pool has missing tiles after a few seasons.
I have tried to reset the tiles in some of these pools only to have them pop off again. I'm wondering if there is a trick to setting tiles so they don't pop. Is there a specific type of thin-set that is best for pools? Is there a special adhesive that should be used instead? Is it a grout issue?
