    This is not a question most of us can help with. I'll ask Waste to take a look, if he can. Meanwhile, posting pictures, via Flickr, Webshots, Picasa or Photobucket would help.

    Welcome to The Forum, sorry I've missed answering this til now!

    Spongy areas of vermiculite are an indication of groundwater flowing through or under it Those areas should be removed and new material troweled in (there are some other precautions you may want to take).

    In the shallow end, you can either patch each little spot or do the entire floor - it's probably easier to do the 'spot patching'.

    If you want more info on this, just ask and I'll try to get back more quickly.
    Luv & Luk, Ted

    Having done construction and service for 4 pool companies in 4 states starting in 1988, what I know about pools could fill a couple of books - what I don't know could fill libraries
