Marcite Plaster Failures

REAL-WORLD Marcite Plaster POOL FAILURE Stories

Armorkote Formerly know as Ultraguard
 

Our newly built pool, which had a plaster finish, started to fail after 2 years. After many attempts of contacting the Pool Builder to correct the deteriorating plaster problem with no success, we realized how sensitive of a product plaster really was. Our builder claimed that we were at fault because of how we handled our water chemistry maintenance. This was not true.

We did research on plaster and found out that there is a national crisis called the “Plaster Disaster”, where consumers today have no recourse and are always blamed for the plaster failures by the pool contractor.

After speaking with the UltraGuard’s referrals and testimonials, we realized this was the only product to consider.

Thank you UltraGuard.

Our pool was plastered April 5, 2007. By August we noticed small cracks throughout the entire pool. We were leaking water at 3 per week. This has been from day one in our pool. We contacted A&S and they said regarding the cracks that there was nothing they could do unless we were losing water. Ummm… 3 per week is a bit much for evaporation. We’ll make a note in your file, is what we were told by a lady in the Warranty Department.

Fast forward to when we opened our pool this year. In March we realized the cracks had gotten MUCH worse and called. Their one and only plaster expert was supposed to come out and look at the pool numerous times, but he never showed, never called, and each time it was pushed off for another two weeks by A&S. When the pool was opened, the water started leaking again. We strongly suspect it is in the plumbing, but of course no one will come out and look at the pitting and cracking plaster or the leak. We have called, yelled and screamed, talked nicely, and of course, in typical fashion for this Pool builder, no one will return phone calls. No one answers the phone when you call and just today someone was supposed to come out and look at the plaster yet again.

I paid over $50,000 for a new pool. It started from the first sales meeting, I was promised the pool would be started in April 2006 and paid 1/3 deposit. After a number of calls to the installation team they finally started in July 2006.

I had a Pool built for me a pool in 2001 and have had cracking occur in the plaster since year two. The Pool builder finally replastered the pool in 2004 after I had to badger them for 2 years. The cracks returned in 2007 and have been determined to be structural in nature. It is so hard to deal …

Don’t feel bad. It’s a year and 3 months since the pool was finished and I still have warranty issues that have yet to be settled. The pool has been re-plastered once and it cracked just like the first time, so they are “supposed” to do it again, but I have yet to hear when. The stone work was leaking calcium deposits so badly that even the project manager admitted he’d never seen one so bad. What did the Pool builder do? After much complaining, they had a crew come out to “re-grout” the stonework. Only problem was they re-grouted with gray grout and the original was tan. So now I have the raised beam area with gray grout and the rest of the coping area with tan. Looks REAL GOOD! SO I’ve gone 2 years now since the date of the original contract and STILL don’t have a finished pool! This company totally SUCKS!
