Has anyone had a pebble tec pool surface cause splinters in your feet?
Pebble finishing for a pool's surface has its perks in terms of increasing the surface life of the pool finish, but indeed it can cause bruises; However, I haven't heard anyone getting a splinter from Pebbled pool surface. That can only be possible if your pool is unmaintained causing twigs or anything that can cause a splinter to enter the pool unnoticed.
Can a leaking swimming pool cause a sinkhole?
It would cause excessive mud and the swimming pool would sink slightly. It would only cause a sinkhole if there was a hole underground under the pool.

Can you swim in a pool that has foam in it?
Suppose you could but who would want to. You possibly have added too much algaecide. Have a dirty filter. Have poor chemistry - out of balance chemically. Too many people in pool. Lack of proper filtration.
What would cause a lump at the bottom of a fiberglass pool?
The most likely cause is hydrostatic pressure from underground water. This can be a very dangerous problem for the pool and I would contact the installer immediately for an onsite consultation. If it is hydrostatic pressure and is not relieved, the pool can be permanently damaged. thepoolandspawarehouse.com
What should you do if the skimmer cannot clear the surface of the pool after 90 plus minutes after turning on the filter?
Most pool skimmer would not have a hope of clearing the surface of a pool. the only one that I know of and recommend is the Pulse surface cleaner made by Poolrite in Australia, This unit floats and always skims water at optimal performance it is plugged into the vacuum plate like a normal pool cleaner.
How would you prevent a 20x40 concrete swimming pool with a tile finish from cracking after it has been drained and not refilled with water for awhile?
To prevent the pool surface from cracking you should keep the surface wet (with a sprinkler, for example). Allowing the pool to sit dry, in the sun, will result in surface cracking. Best NOT to let the pool sit empty for any longer than absolutely necessary.
How do you get the square footage surface area of a pool?
If it is a rectangular pool, then multiply the length by the width. If it is a circular pool then the surface area = (Pi/4)*(diameter^2)
How can you determine if a crack in a gunite pool is surface or if it is structural?
I would think if the the crack is present only in the plaster, and not the tile, it may be surface. If, for instance my pool, has a cracked tile and the crack is extended down the side of the plaster, it is structural.
