Need Pool Repair Advice
Posted on 8/28/15 at 4:25 pm

I am trying to sell my house and I would like to get this fixed so it doesn't bring the value down. Does anyone know how to fix it or could you recommend someone that can do this type of repair? It is just in one area of the pool. Pictures below:

Gunite pool looks like. Is the finish cracking? Rebar supports were too close to pour surface (burning) and are oxidizing? Need more info.

Yes it is a gunite pool, the pool was installed in 1992 I belive by previous owner. Has never been replastered to my knowledge. There is only one spot where I can touch a piece of rebar, the other spots look like it was repaired by the previous owner.

I think you can do a plaster patch but the color will not match.

Drain it and scrub the shite out of it with CLR, patch if needed and refill. The rust will return eventually but, it should work for a while. Also use Muratic acid on that tile. It will remove all the scale that's on it.

this is why PH is important

If you are selling the house, get the pool replastered. You can't patch that or cover it up and get full value out of the pool in a sale. Any sophisticated buyer will factor the cost of replastering into the sale price. On the other hand, replaster the pool and it will look great and you can factor the cost into the asking price.
As for the surface falling apart, the issue isn't ph, it's calcium hardness. If you don't monitor the hardness levels, the aggressive water will leach calcium from the plaster, causing the surface to disintegrate. Calcium hardness is the most important factor in taking care of pool plaster.
