Some people in the pool industry have believed that porous concrete pool shells are acceptable because they are lined with a waterproof plaster. This is wrong on many levels and recent updates to the International Building Code based on ACI 318 bolster Watershape University's position that the pool shell must be watertight prior to applying interior finishes. This is the first in a series of webinars discussing pool tile.

1:00 hour -Watershape University is authorized by IACET to offer 0.1 CEUs for this program.
