hello all,
I am new to pools, but have a leak under my spa waterfall into the main pool. the spa is a pebbletec surface, with a natural stone ledge for the waterfall. the water is dropping in the spa to the level just below the stone waterfall ledge, leaking under the stone.
what is the best thing to use under the edge of the stone to seal it? I cannot afford to remove the stone to regrout it (and it would likely break).
thanks for the input.

How to fix leak in spa waterfall.
you can use a two part epoxy... but it will look ugly because it sets in a white colour or sometimes a grey.
other option is let the surface dry and use kitchen/bathroom silicon.

Alienate your waterfall and pump all of the water out of the pond. Enable it to carefully dry. Immerse your sponge with abrade alcohol and softly clean any batter areas.

Our company has been using this product to fix skimmer leaks that occur near the gunite and fill in waterfall rock gaps.

Epoxy will work for a while, however with seasonal weather fluctuations, expanding and contracting, tends to wiggle itself loose and leak again.
