I have been a member of TFP since 2014 and a sincere thank you for all of the support received over the years. Two weeks ago we had the company that re plastered our pool 10 years ago redo the mastic around the pool. The two guys who did the work were so impressed with the condition of the...

AND I got no response from magnets.

I apologize for not responding with an update sooner. The crushed vitamin C tablets in a sock made a marked difference in the rust stain and we had the company that did the replastering ten years ago inspect the surface. The result was pool surface is fine. Appreciate all of your help as always.

Makes sense, will try it Rebar coming through can’t be a good thing Is this indicative of plaster erosion, water issues?

Thanks zea3, will give it a shot, appreciate your help

Good morning, Been following TFP for several years and everyone in these forums has been generous with time and good advice. Last week I noticed what looked like 2 rust spots on the bottom of my pool about 1 1/2 inches long and 3/4 of an inch wide. I checked with my snorkel mask and plastic...

how do you tell the difference

mknauss, thanks for your guidance. Began the SLAM as soon as I read your post, brushed, added chlorine to 30 and reduced the RPM. The evening of the 5th I did an OCLT and the FC was 29, the morning of the 6th it was 27.5, kept it close to 30 for the 6th, brushed again and the OCLT started at...

Good morning. For the last couple of months I have been seeing yellow spots on walls and floor of my pool, deep end and shallow. When I brush them, it looks like powder/cloud like and disperses. The spots can return after a day or sometimes several days or not for a couple of weeks. Sometimes...

Appreciate the information. The carton says Clorox Performance Bleach with Cloromax Technology so wont be getting that any more. Thanks again

Two weeks ago, I purchased several 3 - 1 gallon packs of Clorox 8.25% bleach(on the carton) for 9.99 at Costco. One of the jugs was actually 6.0%, thought they had just made a mistake. Went to a different Costco today and all they had were 3 - 1 gallon packs that said 6.0% for the same 9.99...

Ok, here are the numbers today and the CSI tells me there is potential to be corrosive to plaster but based on the previous threads I will ignore that(unless directed otherwise) Pool water temp was 48 and I warmed the water to 72 before testing. FC - 5 CC - 0 PH -7.4 TA - 70 CH - 275 CYA - 30
