I have a sinking problem with my pool too. The technician says the way to fix it is to drill deep holes around the sinking side and put cement in to support the pool. It is a big job. Takes a couple days.
Pool sinking?
Is the pool sinking The wall of the pool and coping are one unit, the concrete deck is also a unit, they move independent of each other, with a caulk joint between each. That joint must be maintained. Your pool pro has the right stuff. You wont find home caulk at the DEPOT.
Yes I have seen well over 6" inches of change and in
very cold spells especially in the wet years on pools, generally they go back into shape, but caulk maintenance is key. The deck is moving usually gives the illusion of the pool sinking. getapool.com goood swimming take care
What else can I help you with?
How do you fix your pool if the slab of cement at the steps into the pool is sinking and you're afraid that it will push the steps into the pool and damage the structure?
You first of all have to find out what is causing the slab to heave. If you fix the slab then within a two year period you will be redoing the slab again. You may have a leak in the plumbing of the pool or a leak in the house plumbing or to the garden hose. Fix all the leaks and then replace the slab.

Why glass ionomer cement not mixed on glass slab?
Glass ionomer cement should not be mixed on a glass slab because the ions present in the cement can react with the glass slab, leading to contamination and affecting the setting reaction of the cement. This can compromise the physical properties and performance of the cement. It is recommended to use a disposable mixing pad or a mixing paper to prevent any unwanted reactions and ensure the proper setting of the glass ionomer cement.
Is a divergent a slab-push a slab-pull?
Yes, slab-push and slab-pull are both mechanisms that drive plate movement at divergent boundaries. Slab-push involves the sinking of a dense oceanic plate into the mantle, which helps drive the separation of plates. Slab-pull refers to the force exerted by the sinking plate as it pulls the trailing portion of the plate along with it.

Crushed stone or slab under pavers around pool I'm going to be putting pavers around the pool.. should go with a slab under them or is okay to just use crushed stone Thanks?
Tell me, what are the bathers going to do to when they walk barefooted over this crushed stone to get to or from the pool???? If the crushed stone is going to be under the pavers - then how do you intend to keep the water from getting to the sub-grade. You probably will want to have a solid cement deck around your pool. Rain water, melted snow and ice, splash out from the pool and or an overflowing pool are not good for the sub-grade around your pool. All the above will cause the pavers to move, shift, become uneven thus causing a safety hazard (tripping). And how are you going to keep the weeds down between the paver?. They will have to be sprayed with a toxic chemical which will get airborne and collect on the pool surface. Depending on what type of toxic mix you use it can be an oily mess for the swimmers and the filtration. Now, are you willing to let children or for that matter adults swim under those conditions? After re-reading the question -- why would you pour a slab of cement then put crushed stone over that? Incorrect wording of the question causes confusion as to what your question is really asking.
