Now that I have (thanks to TFP) started taking care of my own pool and making sure I brush properly etc. a few of these tiles have come loose. Whats the best product to reattach them? They are mostly above the water line, but will be under water when it rains a lot.

I have about 10 in total that have come loose but I'm sure more will come loose as time goes on.

Thanks

Thanks. I see that have a fast setting / underwater one as well which I should be able to use for the few that are just below the waterline.

I recommend you drain the pool down a bit and use regular thinset.

The fast set is difficult to work with underwater and you will get much better results just lowering the water level for 24 hours, set the tiles, let it dry, and then add water to the pool.

Appreciate it. Porbably only need to lower it a few inches anyway.
