Need some more help please. We're working through the engineering and we have a 4ft sheer on a raised elevation (used to be 10'). This sheer will be a CMP Brilliant Wonders LED waterfall and I was telling the engineer that the wall had to be 24" thick because one pool builder told me that and this was her response "The pool shell does not have to necessarily 24 inches thick to fit the water feature. I have seen many go in an 8 inch shell, it depends on the product you are using and the means and methods of the builder.' I can't find and information on the wall thickness for the sheer but I need all the plumbing and electrical to be in the wall because it's the outer wall of the pool and I don't want it exposed and prone to damage from lawn equipment and such. Can anyone help me figure out what to tell the engineer or should this be a custom block wall or something after gunnite? Pictures below for reference and the columns are a similar question.

Hi, It's my first post on this forum and I hope the experts here can help me. I've just opened the pool after the winter, and as you can see from the pictures below, the pool wall that connects to the pool coping has deteriorated. Last year some patch work was done by a friend of mine (not professional) with hydraulic cement and it seems that it has fallen off again. http://www.netbyair.com/photos/pool/IMG_3729.JPG http://www.netbyair.com/photos/pool/IMG_3730.JPG http://www.netbyair.com/photos/pool/IMG_3731.JPG http://www.netbyair.com/photos/pool/IMG_3732.JPG http://www.netbyair.com/photos/pool/IMG_3733.JPG http://www.netbyair.com/photos/pool/IMG_3734.JPG http://www.netbyair.com/photos/pool/IMG_3735.JPG http://www.netbyair.com/photos/pool/IMG_3736.JPG http://www.netbyair.com/photos/pool/IMG_3737.JPG http://www.netbyair.com/photos/pool/IMG_3738.JPG http://www.netbyair.com/photos/pool/IMG_3739.JPG http://www.netbyair.com/photos/pool/IMG_3740.JPG I called around, and a company quoted me $1500 to drain the water, put on some marble mix to fix the cracks, and gurantee the work for 15 years. He said it would take 2 guys a full day's work and come back again the next day. My questions are: 1. What is the proper way to fix this issue? 2. Can I tackle it by myself? 3. Why is hydraulic cement not working, is it because the crack is too big (as the company told me)? Or is it because it wasn't done properly last time? 4. Do I need special expansion additive to mix into the hydraulic cement? 5. Should I drain the pool and use regular cement to make it stronger? 6. How do I fix the cement around the skimmer? 7. The shallow end has smaller cracks from the previous patch, should I remove the previous patch and fix it again properly too? Thanks a lot and appreciate for your help! Regards, Fei
