Marcite is a "plaster" made from marble dust and white cement. It's put on top of the gunite and gives the pool a smooth finish and bright luster.
No. An older (possibly better) type of Fiberglass pool was constructed in this manner, with a concrete/Gunnite/Marcite trowled bottom and Fiberglass panels at the side of the pool. Panels are caulked together along vertical joints. Actually not a bad deal, but caulked joints must be maintained. Once the concrete starts showing through at the bottom of the pool, its time to drain and resurface. Bottom of pool should be acid washed every 3-5 years to keep it sparkling and remove mold, mildew, stains. If bottom surface is chipping off, its getting close to time to resurface bottom of pool. Bottom is treated just like any concrete/gunite/Marcite pool surface. Sides are simply brushed, caulked in timely manner.

The best way would be to resurface the concrete. If don't want to resurface all of it, just purchase a small bag at a local hardware store such as Home Depot or something. Then mix it with water. When you buy your concrete ask the workers to show which tool would be best for smoothing out your concrete. Then just even out those spots where the leaves made their imprints.
