Ok, I've had an inground pool for 3 years or so. It's fiberglass and inground. It has a ceramic tile accent and is installed half in and half out of the water to help pretty up where the top of the pool side and the concrete decking meet to lock the pool into the ground.

3 of these tiles have come off.

What do I use to restick them to the pool?

Concerns: The pool runs a saltwater system. The tiles were originally put on with silicon sealant of some sort on the back to stick it to the side. I don't want something that's going to contaminate my water and bleed chemicals and stuff but I also don't want them falling off again.

What can I use?

I don't think liquid nails would be a good choice. I also don't know whether aquarium silicone would be sufficient to keep the tile from sliding down the side because the tiles aren't light and the installation is almost vertical and usually wet.

I tried contacting the pool installer but in typical SC contractor fashion, he's out of pocket, worthless, and won't respond because he was paid.
