weeping through new pebblesheen - is this ok??

[sck44]

We finally got pebblesheen today, and we have spots that are weeping already - acid wash scheduled for tomorrow. We had issues with weeping the whole time we have had gunite, and the pool builder installed a well point with sump pump, but it isn't quite as deep as our pool because we had a ton of solid rock. It is about 1 foot shy of the deepest part of our pool, and the builder said it should be fine to protect the pool from popping out of the ground. Will these weep spots cause discoloration in our brand new plaster?? Please tell me it will all be ok - we have waited almost 8 months to get to this point Pebbletec installers saw the weeping before they started today and did put some cement on some of the spots, but obviously didn't get them all.

How did it come out after the acid wash and water in the pool?

They are acid washing and filling today so I don’t know yet. Pool builder and pebblesheen installer both seem to feel it is going to be fine… we will see. They couldn’t acid wash yesterday as planned because there ended up being quite a bit of unplanned rain.

If the pool water pressure is greater than the hydrostatic pressure in the surrounding ground, you shouldn't have a problem. But I would definitely ask your PB what the deal is there and get some written commitment if there should be an issue down the road

I have the exact same thing going on today, how did this end up for you?

We are about 18 months after plaster and all is fine as far as we can tell! No leaking, no discoloration to plaster, etc. all seems fine

That's a relief, thanks for the update! Here's hoping we see the same
