so there is no prevention? I did not have this issue before I replastered the pool.

here is an underwater pic. The vitamin C tablet removed the stain! what would be the best product to clear the entire area? some form of solid acid I guess?

put a tablet on it- didn't do anything. What else could it be?

it's hard to see in the pic- but there is a band of green along the bottom of the wall. Brushing and slamming did not help. Any tips?

the pool was re-plastered about 3 months ago. Since then the pH is constantly running high (8+). I keep adding acid- it goes down for a day or two and then back up. Any tips? CYA=40 TA=80 CH=325 FC=2

pool loses about half an inch a day. I have had a pressure test done and return lines do not hold pressure. Local companies charge about $500 to locate the leak electronically (repairs not included), which is just absurd. Do you know of any DIY ideas?

is this what you are referring to? https://www.homedepot.com/p/1-1-4-in-x-1-1-2-in-Rubber-Test-Ball-Plug-270016/100130312

problem is, the threaded universal wall fitting is buried in the pool wall- so I only have access to the quick-disconnect end. Basically, I need something like this: https://www.poolzoom.com/eyeball-fitting.html with no hole. I tried filling the hole with putty, but the whole eyeball pops out...

I didn't measure the calcium prior. I will do that next time Reading about the CSI, I realize there is another factor here: temperature. I have been keeping higher temperatures than I used to. That combined with a high pH may have been the curlpit (the ozonator is just a coincidence)

nope

I misunderstood your question- I just flushed the water 6 weeks ago. No ahhsome

thanks all. Is Ahh-some effective for calcium scale? (assuming that's what I am dealing with here)

I used a whirpool cleaner product a year or two ago (had to remove the filter and all that). Did not see any scaling come loose
