kentuckynet Posted July 5, 2009 Report Share Posted July 5, 2009 Hello, back 10 years ago i was installing inground, steel wall and polymer wall liner pools. The first one i ever installed was my own, it was a small kidney shaped pool with a custom bottom. My problem was at the start they soil had been disturbed but i went ahead as that was where the pool needed to be. 2 of my wall panels seperated and dropped/settled, making the water level not follow the line of the liner, always bothered me but not enough to jackahmmer up the concrete and make the repairs. Well i have looked at it for 10 years now and found this year when i uncovered the pool the liner had finally pulled loose from below the the skimmer.......so nows the time for the repair. I brought home my jackhammer and backhoe, i removed the concrete and was going to try and dig up the wall panels and maybe just replace them with a swin inlounger assembly, but after looking at how much work that was going to be i removed the coping at the top and im looking for ideas for a filler material to build the wall panels up about an inch that they dropped. Remember they havent moved in 9 1/2 years. Im thinking maybe bondo?? Remeber the walls are a polymer, smooth on top about 4 inches wide. They havent moved in 9 1/2 years, if i could just build the walls a little taller and put the coping back on the water line would be correct when i put the new liner back in. Any ideas? Also i used poolkrete for the bottom and i have a few places to repair from my pressure washing the algae off that was behind the liner, any ideas on what to use to fill in small indentions on the bottom surface? Thanks if anyone needs a photo let me know.... Waiting for your opinions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
