Hi all,
I opened my pool for the season and noticed that there are many long, hairline cracks developing in the area of my spa where the bench meets the wall. I've attached a pic so you can see what I mean.
I follow the TFP methods and (at least think that I) really take care of the pool and water well. What would cause an issue like this? The PB warranty only covers the plaster for the first 3 years, and I'm at about 3.5 years now, so that's my luck.
I don't care if it's just a cosmetic thing (unless it starts getting worse and worse) . I know that I now have to be extra careful about algae buildup in those cracks, but other than that, can this cause any sort of major issues if left as is? Is fixing it a possibility? I was thinking that since it's in the spa area, it's easy to drain it down (for repairs) if necessary, but don't want to go overboard if not necessary.
