Repair Outdoor Swimming Pool

Questions & Answers:

1.)What is the approved epoxy, and is it required or can we use a multi-flex paint? Which is an elastic water sealer that will seep in and seal the cracks.  Any epoxy that is used for structural concrete repairs. No, a paint is not going to be used to seal a crack.

7.)Are filter pumps fully functioning and can you verify they are?  They are fully functional.

8.)Is there a pool maintenance log we can see? Any past history of pool performance would be beneficial.   There is not. CE states that the pool was built in 2004, plastered 2009, and I believe all equipment is original.

9.)Do all lights work and can you verify they do? No light replacement was mentioned in SOW.  Lights will not be in the contract.

10.)Are there any known plumbing issues?  Not that we know of.

11.)Can we spray our bond-kote on instead of rolling? We have rolled it on before and it's not rough enough, it should be sprayed on to allow a better adhesion with the new plaster.   Apply to manufacturer specifications.
