    Default Re: Pool filling- but trouble with poolcrete Help!

    Thanks for your help, Waste. The PB didn't show up today- its to wet. He will be back Thursday. I was really concerned that a vacumn or toe could tear the liner where the 90 degree corners are. I guess it should be snug after completion. Please respond/ clarify the the next three issues. Anyone else want to chime in, please do.
    1)Will the pool bottom always feel mushy in spots or will it finally set up hard? Will it get soft when water passes through it? If so, I guess swimmers have to stay out during wet times, so as not to put indentions in the bottom. ( This doesn't sound right to me.) If it is suppose to cure hard, how long should it take? It had been over 48 hours and 90 degrees and above when I walked on the bottom.
    2.)The pool does have at least one rough, raised spot, oblong shape, about 1/4" high and about 1" by 3" in size. This area feels abrasive and is about 6 inches from the bottom step ( a high traffic area). So, I am concerned that it may cause the liner to wear prematurely, in that area, and leak. If it were at the bottom of the deep end, I wouldn't be as concerned, since no one would walk or stand on it.
    3.)The shallow end has a hump that was very visible during filling. Water, a couple of inches deep, settled around the wall edges of the shallow end, and flowed along the the wall edges to the deep end, like little streams along each side of the pool. This clearly defined a large hump. After the deep end was full and and the water was about 2 to 3 inches above the bottom of the shallow end wall, the hump began to disappear. I think that I may be able to "feel" the hump when we walk into the pool and toward the deep end. ( I got out yesterday after I felt the mushy area, so I didn't check to see if I could "feel" the hump while walking.) Can this cause any problems other than possibly being noticeable when we walk on it? My shallow end is 20' by 16', a nice size area. The humped area covers about 2/3 of that.

    Thanks,
    Webfeet
