Thanks to all of you i think i have my pool running pretty well. My numbers in pool math stay right around where they should be and the additions are getting "regular". perfect.
I have noticed 3 small things in my pool (3 months old, not happy w/ PB) that i would like to fix.
1. In one spot the plasterers just missed it in a corner and i can see concrete. very small spot -- maybe 1/4" in diameter and in a pretty not noticable area. what product should i use to fill that spot? i'm not super keen to drain the pool for it...
2. There is a 1/8" circular hole in the grout between a pair of tiles in the same area. same question.
perhaps these first two both call for something like hydraulic cement? i only throw that out because i have used it underwater but ... it's kinda messy for this application (well, that or i am not aware of best practice in this regard to application). i don't really care much about the color or look -- i just don't want degradation to start from me not fixing the little things.
3. I have a spa jet that doesn't seat flush up against the side of the pool. i have tried backing it out and seeing if i can re-seat it --- it doesn't want to move either direction. so now i just want to fill the gap between the pool wall and the ring --- maybe 1/8". seems like a good job for some flavor of "in water setting silicon"? is that a thing?

This will call for some additional experts to chime in. In the meantime, can you post some pics of all of these effected areas? Pics generally help. I'm also going to tweak your thread title to more accurately reflect the help you need which can help get the attention of certain members/experts. Stand by for more info.
