Texas Splash/JoyfulNoise ... Thanks, Great Help! I'm buying "dirty" calcium/mineral scale." Logic follows: Yuma notorious for hard water; Calicum level of water is so high that I stopped testing for calicum after my first attempt 17 years ago ... was going to empty calicum "drop test" bottle...

Chlorine 5-7 / CYA - 60-70 Live in Yuma, AZ - Sunniest place in USA ... not hottest ... just more days of sun. Result is need for higher CYA ... initially raise to 90 and add when drops to 60. Discounted algae due to light grey color and no stain on side of the pool that gets the most sun.

Will aerating during SLAM help to keep my TA down?

I plan on using the "AA" process with Jack's Magic Stain Solution 1 and Jack's Magic The Pink Stuff as the sequestrant agent. I have identified the stain in my in ground fiberglass pool as an iron stain. Question: Has anyone had experience with the products mentioned being used in a fiberglass...

Near as I could determine the stain was neither organic or metals or calcium. I finally found out what 3 of 4 Pool Maintenance professionals in town do if they are hired to get rid of the stain ... they use a mix of muriatic acid and water. They do not want to tell you this as it is not a...

In ground fiberglass Spa developed a leak where the Spa light inserts into the shell. Water drops to half way down the light then stops which eliminates all other possibilities of the leak source (jets and water input above the light ... drain plus two other jet items below light). No cracks in...
