Addressing Pool Resurfacing

Over the past few months, we have, unfortunately noticed an extreme amount of delamination in the pool surface. This has caused many areas of the pool surface to detach creating a hole. This problem actually started over a year. We understand that this is a frustrating situation due to the fact that this pool was resurfaced just a few years ago. 
The reason for the delamination and the holes that are occurring is due to improper application of the Pool surface. When the pool was resurfaced last time, the surfacing company applied the new surface on top of the old surface.
National plaster Council recommends prior to resurfacing the old surface, is chipped out and removed. Bring the pool down to the original concrete shell.  Once the pools down to the original concrete shell there needs to be a two part Epoxy bonding material applied to the concrete. Once that is completed, the new surface can be installed. 
It is unclear if the last resurfacing used a bonding agent on top of the old surface, but it is very clear that they applied the new surface directly on top of the old surface. This is a less expensive improper installation, which causes the life of the surface to be minimized to just a few years.
Cooper Pools was originally called out to patch a few of the holes in the surface due to the Dept Of Health issuing a notice of the holes.
These areas of broken surface can be very sharp and dangerous for anyone in the pool. Because of the amount of delamination and holes in the pool it is considered unsafe and this  will cause the pool to be closed down due to safety issues.
The board has approved repairs to the pool, which include removing the old surface down to the original shell and applying a new surface to the pool properly. It also includes bringing everything in the pool up to current Dept Of Health codes. This process can take anywhere from 4 to 6 weeks.  This timeframe will start when we are given the approval to start by the board and all paperwork is submitted to the county and approved.
This time also includes the startup process for chemicals and curing process for the new surface.
This is unfortunate timing, but due to the safety issues there are no other option.
We will  work in a timely manner treating this as a first priority looking to get your pool reopen as soon as possible. Thank you !!
