That stuff doesn't hold up to the sunlight. It has very minimal UV protection. I can't believe they used that on a shallow pool. I line my underground water tanks with it because they get no sunlight. And it's expensive.

Geez, why didn't they just use an epoxy pool coating? That's designed for pools.

Boy, they really didn't care if the pool was destroyed.
