cracks in concrete

I'm not sure if rain alone would cause that. After our concrete pool was shot with shotcrete we were told to leave the sprinkler in it going for 3 to 4 days. We had no cracking at all.

It's a totally different product for a liner pool.

Our vinyl pool has a vermiculite bottom - more forgiving (and gentler on the liner) than straight concrete, way sturdier than sand. Installed in 1982, liner was replaced in 2004 - and there were no cracks in the vermiculite to be repaired after all that time. We had 2 divots in the shallow end they patched up - one caused by the ground settling, the other from a kid jumping into the shallow end (another good reason to only jump into the deep end).

You need to have the contractor fix that immediately - it will definitely show under the liner, probably will damage it in time and if you are getting a light, it will stick out like a sore thumb when lit up.
