Sounds like a faulty installation. Get a lawyer, you will need one. I would demand a new pool! Also contact the company that manufactured the fiberglass pool and let them know of the problems you are having with your installer.

I would demand a new pool too! Also, I would post (on this forum and the TFP forum) where you live and who your contractor is so that others are aware and can beware of your contractor. Some of these guys just get away with this stuff way too often.

Demand a brand new pool and nothing less. Call the manufacturer direct and complain about the product and the installer.
