My swimming pool has been empty for a while. Small cracks have appeared. What is more noticeable is that the pool appears to have been cast in two parts. The sloping base and part vertical extensions to the side walls , first and then secondly the side walls themselves. There is a marked line ( or cold joint) showing between these two ... similar to a very small seam which I believe is passing water. I've had problems in the past with the inter-connecting pipework with broken pipes , probably caused by some ground subsidence. Controlling "plastic lever ball-valves" also become siezed over a period of time. Of course everything is glued together ! Because I have been "cloned" with my English Engineering experience I have had to replace them complete with Unions either side in the event of further replacement !
However, my question to DR1'ers ... is there available in the DR., or has anyone had experience of, a Rubber or Epoxy material that can be painted on and over these cracks and fault lines to prevent leakage. ? I have seen some products available in the USA but don't know if they are available here ?
I have searched previous blogs concerning swimming poos and repair , but could not find an answer.
Thanks for any help given.
