I can easily brush it off, but it keeps coming back when running pump.

Recently ended up replacing a spa light bulb, as soon as I unscrewed the light case from the wall, there flew out a bulk of dark rusty stuff from the hole. I ended up scrubbing it off with brush, which clears up the stain, but as soon as I run the pump/add chlorine, stain comes back. It's the...

Thanks. I wasn't sure what it was called.:cautious: I did use something few years back to patch up another piece that broke off. Couldn't remember what product I used. Sounds like it was some kind of mortar. I might look for left over in my garage.

Some of my pool tiles are cracked/chipped and coming off from the top. How do I glue it back? Is caulking good enough or should I get something else?

That's true and it makes sense. Not messing around anymore. Thanks for the tip.

It cracked from the winter freezing last year. I forgot to drain the booster pump. I only bought the volute and o ring. Do I need the union replaced as well? Hayward 6060 union

That WORKED. The stains are gone now. Thank you so much :) :) :) Now how do I remove the rust stains dissolved in the water? I read it might come back if left untreated in the water and filter won't catch it. I have the pump running now and poured half bottle liquid chlorine as well. Should I...

How about muriatic acid? Isn't it strong enough to remove iron stains?

How easy is it to replace the volute on the booster pump?My casing cracked and water leaks through it when running. Other than that, the motor is fully functional. I have the replacement volute and O ring. Not sure if its an easy job(simply unscrew,remove broke volute and replace) or it's more...

Tried that too, still not effective. I am using 500mg tablets. Will 1000mg make a difference?

You are right, its 3 feet deep in the water and not coming off fully. I can't rub it in by hand, maybe that would be more efficient I guess.
