2/3 years ago or somewhere in there. The warranty is useless.....Wow - when was the pool resurfaced? What was the warranty?
We called a couple of companies and they all said it was delamination, I think someone mention not using acid or doing some step before applying the resurfacing?I see this pool mainly having a delamination problem, as the plaster is simply falling off the walls without any bonding to the underlying surface.
However, the top step crack is a concern regarding structural or movements problems. But given the other more obvious delamination (bonding failure) situation, I think the contractor just didn't know how to properly perform quality work. I think a good contractor could redo this pool and make it work.
This all started to happen when we turned on the water heater and then this blue thing started to come off very slowly from the sides, as it is now is is separated from the side like 5”. I wonder if there is something broken under the pool to make it move when the water heater is on? Could that be something like thT causing it?

There was a guy here several years ago - from Europe I believe - who tiled his own pool. And then he had to rip it all out and start over because the adhesive he used failed. He was extremely detail oriented and the pool was amazing.
Someone smarter than I can probably link his thread into here.
PM Sent.Well, at least it may not be difficult to remove the bulk of bad plaster before sandblasting and prepping.... Can you share the name of the poor contractor?
MOD note: please use pm (conversation) for this information. Thank you.
If you've ever seen them plaster a pool they have a large truck for the mixing and the spray it out of a nozzle. At least that is what they did on mine. Just mixing that amount of plaster without a machine would be a serious task!
Concrete pool up north
hi there!! I have already made a few post in this beautyful site, that I've stumbled upon from a swedish poolforum a few days ago. I must say that I'm totally blown away by the projects you post in here. It's already yield us inspiration to add what you call a tanning ledge in one part of our...www.troublefreepool.com
Thanks for that info, that is true, If I take this on my own I will have to rent a mixer because I won't be able to do it on my own.
WHoa! ? that is bad. I too am thinking of tiling a small pool/pond, but it has no curves.
Oh my gosh! I read that whole thread last night and my heart just sank when he said the tiles started falling off. So terrible. I bet he never came back to the post because he had a nervous breakdown after that. Terrible.Thanks zea3 - I wish he would have continued posting - it was an amazing build.
