I live in Sun city West and have the same problem in a large outdoor spa
(about 800 Gallons) which we leave empty during our absences for about 4
-5 months in the summer. Actually we rarely use the spa or heat it up.
Occasionally we crank it up for guests or let grandkids play in it in
spring.
I just have a crack about a foot long on the corner of one bench. Our spa
is about 12 years old (we have owned it for only 5 years) It looks to me
as if the underlying concrete is ok and the pebblecrete has just pulled
away at the bench corner.
Leslie Pool supplies sells a white Portland cement compound for patching
pools. After browsing and searching and failing to find answers I am about
to try the patch compound. It won't look so good but if neatly done the
patch should not scratch or cut the ass or legs of people sitting on the
bench.
