While it is possible to fix a crack in your swimming pool yourself, it is not recommended. Some jobs call fo the work of a professional and this is one of them.
A crack in the pool pump can not be fixed permanently. Silicone and sealants may fix it temporarily, but it will need to be replaced.
Cement!
If the crack is small I would suggest buying a patch kit from a local pool store. The patch kits are easy to apply after the pool is drained. If the crack is large you'll need to hire a professional. You can call someone and they will fix your fiberglass pool. You can also try to buy a repair kit depending on how big the crack is. If it is a big crack, your should let a professional do the job.
Enough to make you take out a unsecured loan.
If the crack(s) are small and you have determined that your pool is not loosing water then leave the cracks alone. If the crack is sufficient to make the pool loose water ( determine that you are actually loosing water with a bucket test) the crack can be sealed with epoxy putty, fix-leak, or hot epoxy. It takes a specialist to determind just how much of the crack needs to be reworked.
I general, the answer is yes. It the crack comes from the pool moving, and the gunite has cracked, then the gunite has to be repaired before the plaster. Sometimes opening up the gunite crack and refilling with concrete will answer the problem. If movement of the soil is the problem then that has to be fixed first.The soil getting excessivly wet and dry can mean that the pool will move, if it is only part of the pool then there will be a structuaral crack. Only opening up the crack will tell you whether it is a plaster crack or a gunite crack. A replaster is from about $2000 up and structuaral repairs from about $1000
The answer would be entirely dependent on the type of pool (above ground, below ground) and the material it is built from (cement, fiberglass, etc.) and the type of defect (crack, chip, hole, stains, rust, growth, etc.)
fix the leak. call a pool specialist if you don't know how to fix it
Find out where the crack or leak in the item is and then use underwater glue to seal the crack. To finish sealing up the snow globe use a silicone sealant around the base and then let dry for twenty four hours.
