So I've winterized my pool fine for many years. I generally leave a 1/2 to 3/4 full bottle of antifreeze in the skimmer and it's always fine. Last fall I was unexcusable in a huge hurry and didn't get to the closing until late October. Screwed up and didn't leave enough antifreeze in the bottle and it floated after a ton of rain. Had the skimmer under the cover and blah blah blah. I fouled up.
So now the wall to bottom of skimmer junction is cracked about half way around. I know the proper fix is to jack hammer it all out replace and redo the concrete. Obviously I don't want to do that, at least to start.
Is there and epoxy that would possibly work in this case? The crack is on the 90° so it seems like I could fillet in enough epoxy to work? Then cover it it with flex tape. It's no pressure so it seems it should, doesn't hurt to try I guess. Any repair techs had success? Any other ideas other than the jack hammer?
