  1. We just had our 25 yr old Phoenix pool chipped out in preparation for a pebble tec finish. There was some spalling in the old plaster but no staining. This is apparently the first time the pool has been resurfaced. Our pool builder thought the shell looked pretty good, but performed some sort of test and determined we have about 2" of gunnite in the pool. Ideally he would like to see a minimum of 3" and suggests we consider adding another 2" of shotcrete to make it bulletproof. It's a pretty big expense on top of the original bid - 3k for the shotcrete and at least another 3k to deal with the in floor cleaning system. Thanks so much for any wisdom you care to share.
  2. Our pool is a 20,000 gallon in-ground concrete salt water pool. The shallow end is 4' deep, center is 6' deep, and the other end is 5' deep. We have had a lot of very small earthquakes here on Guam, and the pool has now become uneven - deeper on one side than the other, with a difference of about 3-4 inches. There is also a crack that goes down in the corner of the pool. It doesn't seem to be a deep crack, and my water bill hasn't become a lot higher, so I don't think it's leaking. This has happened gradually over the past several years. Another problem we have is that the rebar wasn't sufficiently covered in a couple of places, so we have some pretty bad rust. One spot is on the surface of the pool deck, and the other is at an edge (corner) where tiles meet. We've also developed a lot of black algae spots in the bottom and on the sides of the pool. So, we don't know whether to have the pool resurfaced or drained and acid-washed, or what to do. We need to figure out how to repair the crack in the pool too. Any information or suggestions from anyone would be greatly appreciated.
